Summary
With depleted soils and reduced ground water levels from intensive agriculture, India's rice and wheat crops are in crisis. This title analyzes the rice-wheat cropping crisis and its remedies together with the importance of the Integrated Nutrient Management (INM) system in modern Indian agriculture
