    Horticultural Prospect and Potential in India
    (Indian Society of Agricultural Economics, 2008-07) Giri, Arun Kumar
    The paper tries to assess the regional potential of triggering agricultural development through horticultural crops with the help of secondary data as available in the publications of the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE). The analysis of the secondary data uphold the following aspects: in vegetable production, West Bengal and Orissa are the leading states and in case of fruit production, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh are ahead of others. Six to twelve per cent of gross cropped area and 8 to 9 per cent of gross cropped area respectively in West Bengal and Orissa are allocated to vegetable cultivation. In Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh the area allocated to fruit production was 2 to 3 per cent with an increment to 5-6 per cent during 2004-05. Again, land area released from foodgrain is utilised for crops other than fruits and vegetables in Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh

    Nitrogen Mineralization in Soil Amended with Crop Residue: An Incubation Experiment Under Flooding Conditions
    (Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2009) Giri, Arun Kumar
    Incubation studies were carried out to investigate the release of nitrogen in soils. The domestic sewage and soil were analyzed for their physical, chemical characteristics in view of evaluating their suitability for irrigation to agricultural lands in a laboratory experiment. The effluents were added to a soil and incubated at 30±1 0C microbial population, NH4+-N and NO3--N concentration were determined for 0,15,30,60 and 90 days. The purpose of this study was to determine nitrogen mineralization of domestic sludge in soils comparing leached and non leached incubation procedures

    Economic development and environmental quality: an econometric study in India
    (Emerald, 2009-02) Giri, Arun Kumar; Mohapatra, Geetilaxmi
    The purpose of this paper is to explore the emissions of SO2, NO2 and SPM in India during 1991‐2003. The Environmental Kuznets' Curve (EKC) is applied to explore the relationship between economic development measured in terms of State Domestic Product (SDP) per capita and different air quality parameters for industrial and residential locations respectively. Several developmental factors contribute to change in emissions of these air quality parameters. These factors generally include the scale effect, composition effect and the pollution abatement effect.
