ICAR-NRRI-CRURRS, Hazaribag and Indian Phytopathological Society are jointly organizing a National Symposium on “Holistic approaches for biotic and abiotic stress management in crops for sustainable agriculture” at Central Rainfed Upland Rice Research Station (CRURRS), Massipirhi, Post Box 48, Hazaribag, Jharkhand during 28-29 November 2024. On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we cordially invite all members of the Society, researchers, students, progressive farmers, government officials and policy makers to participate in this important symposium. We assure that the forum will provide an excellent opportunity to the participants for productive scientific deliberations and interactions leading toward One Health.
ABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM Sustainable agriculture aims to meet the needs of present and future generations, while ensuring profitability, environmental health, and social and economic equity. Healthy plant is prerequisite for sustainable agriculture and food systems, as they are essential for food security, ecosystem services, and biodiversity. Crop plants are frequently subjected to multiple biotic and abiotic stresses. Since stress tolerance is genetically complex, it becomes even more challenging for plants to handle multiple stresses at the same time. Climate change exacerbates the adverse effects of these combined stresses, leading to greater crop losses. This presents a significant challenge to the food and nutritional security of the growing global population, which is projected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050. While substantial research has been conducted to mitigate crop losses caused by individual biotic or abiotic stresses, our understanding of the interactive effects of these stresses remains limited. In this context, a multidisciplinary approach aimed at enhancing resistance or tolerance to multiple stresses is essential for achieving sustainable and climate-smart agriculture. The conference on "Holistic approaches for biotic and abiotic stress management in crops for sustainable agriculture", will serve as a platform for sharing research findings related to combined stresses in crop plants. This two-day conference will feature an exciting program, including invited talks, award lectures, and oral and poster presentations on relevant themes. Your participation and knowledge-sharing will foster collaboration and contribute to a collective vision for a climate-smart agricultural future. The symposium will take place at CRURRS, Hazaribag, and will be conducted in English. It is open to all individuals interested in any of the topics covered. |

ABOUT THE INSTITUTE
In 1942, a severe outbreak of brown spot disease (caused by Helminthosporium spp.) in rice led to a significant rice shortage in Bengal, contributing to the Great Bengal Famine of 1943. In response, the Government of India ramped up rice research efforts and the Central Rice Research Institute (CRRI) was established in 1946, in Cuttack, Odisha. The institute was brought under the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) in 1966 and was later renamed the ICAR-National Rice Research Institute (NRRI) in 2015.
To address the specific needs of rainfed upland rice cultivation, the Central Rainfed Upland Rice Research Station (CRURRS) of NRRI was established in Hazaribag, Jharkhand, in 1980. This station focuses on developing improved technologies to boost rice productivity in rainfed uplands, which account for about 13.5% of India’s rice-growing area. These uplands are predominantly located in eastern India, including Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, West Bengal, Assam, and parts of Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. Characterized by aerobic to semi-aerobic soils, reliance on erratic monsoons, and sloping terrain, these regions face challenges from both drought and biotic stresses, which are becoming increasingly severe due to climate change.
