Gendered networks and demand for an agricultural technology in India by Gulati, Kajal, Magnan, Nicholas, Lybbert, Travis J., Spielman, David J.

“…We test the validity of this assumption by examining the role of men’s and women’s social networks in the adoption of a novel water-saving technology, laser land leveling (LLL), in India. Using network data from men and women in the same household, we test the influence of being connected to an adopter on demand for LLL. …”

Potential of climate-smart agriculture in reducing women farmers’ drudgery in high climatic risk areas by Khatri-Chhetri, Arun, Regmi, Punya Prasad, Chanana, Nitya, Aggarwal, Pramod K.

“…Accordingly, considering the local crop, agro-climate, and social conditions, and women’s participation in different agricultural activities, CSA technologies and practices such as direct seeded rice (zero tillage and low tillage using machine), green manuring (GM), laser land leveling (LLL), and system of rice intensification (SRI) were found to potentially reduce women’s drudgery in agriculture along with improvement in productivity and farm income.…”

Design of level-basin irrigation systems for robust performance by Reddy, Junna Mohan

“…A well designed level-basin irrigation system is easy to manage, and has significant potential for achieving higher application efficiency and improved salinity control, particularly when the field is laser-leveled. Over the years, three different criteria have evolved to design level-basin irrigation systems: the volume-balance design criterion proposed by the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the limiting length design criterion, and the completion-of-advance criterion. …”
