Ecological indicators are herculean contrivance for assessing management practices' impacts on environmental changes. Soil organic carbon (SOC) potentially regulates the agricultural sustainability. Unfortunately, SOC has been widely degraded through unsustainable land uses and practices. Hence, efficacy of conservation tilling diversified cropping were assessed in terms restoration associated soil properties fixed plots, which related with farm productivity other ecosystem services under...
Management of soil micronutrients for better crop production needs a sound understanding their status and causes variability. This is more relevant acid soils the mountain ecosystem Eastern Himalaya (Northeast India). We assessed status, effect land uses along altitudinal gradients (14 to 4090 masl) on properties micronutrient concentrations (DTPA extractable Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn) across region. Soils varied widely in concentrations: Fe from 0.665 257.1 mg kg-1 while Zn traces 93.4, 17.1, 34.2...
The complimentary integration of different enterprises recycled farm waste efficiently and increased the food production eco-efficiency considerably besides reducing greenhouse gasses intensity (GHGI) over existing system.
The Northeastern Region of India, due to its geographical location in the eastern Himalaya, exhibits unique features hilly terrain and abundant rainfall with wide spatial variability.Due inappropriate unsustainable land-use practices along steep hill slopes, region is prone severe water erosion soil loss.Only a few discrete, small-scale studies on measured loss are available.Inadequate information at regional level restricts devising site-specific conservation measures for vulnerable areas...
Developing an intensive sustainable model and feeding a rising population are worldwide challenges. The task is much more daunting in the North Eastern Himalayas, where, low productive maize (Zea mays)- fallow main production system upland. To increase farm productivity, nutritional security, energy dietary returns while maintaining environmental sustainability economic viability, short-duration crops must be included maize-fallow system.A field study was conducted sandy clay loam soil with...
Biochar production and utilization is proposed as an innovative approach for enhancing food climate change mitigation. Globally, biochar has the potential to increase crop productivity by ∼11% reduces annual human-induced GHG emissions ∼12%.
Perilla ( frutescens (L.) Britton) is a potential but often neglected oilseed crop. It has long cultivation history among tribal farmers in the hilly regions of North Eastern India and China. Perilla, with its rich fatty acids, essential nutrients, antioxidants, phenolic holds immense for climate-resilient agriculture rainfed areas. Large-scale perilla improves food security offers numerous health benefits, including cardiovascular support disease prevention, thereby enhancing human...
Organic farming is emerging as an alternative sustainable agri-food system globally both in developed and developing nations. In India, organic offers a promising to conventional may contribute significantly mitigate climate change by improving soil health, fostering biodiversity, enhancing carbon sequestration. Lower yields, higher production costs market access barriers, particularly for smallholder farmers are significant challenges scaling up of practices on small farmers’ fields....
Integrated Farming Systems (IFS) is a sustainable agricultural model integrating enterprises such as crops, livestock, fisheries, poultry and agroforestry. This aims to maximize resource use efficiency, boost productivity, diversify income sources reduce environmental impacts. By promoting the cultivation of diverse crops rearing this IFS enables farm households access wide range dietary options. diversity contributes improved nutrition, fostering balanced diets enhancing human well-being....
The study was carried out during 2021–2024 at ICAR-Indian Institute of Farming Systems Research, Modipuram, Meerut, Uttar Pradesh to evaluate the impact Integrated Organic System (IOFS) and (IFS) on soil biological properties namely microbial population, enzyme activities, glomalin levels across cereal, vegetable, fruit fodder crop systems. IOFS consistently demonstrated superior performance with respect health indicators as compared IFS. Higher populations (bacteria, fungi, actinomycetes)...
Excess use of hazardous agrochemicals and inorganic fertilizers resulted negative impact on environmental outcomes degraded soil function, biological diversity, ecosystem services. A 15-year long-term (2004–05 to 2017–18) field experiment was conducted improve the services with quality restoration stabilization yield through agronomic manipulation in rice ( Oryza sativa )–wheat Triticum aestivum ) system under Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP). Three crop management practices (i) organic...
Soil quality restoration and crop productivity maximization are the global challenge to feed galloping population. The task is much more daunting in a risk-prone, fragile, low productive hilly region due depletion of supporting regulating ecosystem services. A five-year long-term (2012–2017) field experiment was conducted stabilize yield soil through legume green manuring residue recycling intensified cropping systems Eastern Himalayan India. Four treatments involving three manures [green...
India's oldest documented manure, most commonly referred to as Kunapajala , has a long history of over 1,000 years in crop cultivation. is primarily an - situ decomposition technology animal waste and can potentially provide eco-friendly pipeline for recycling bio-waste into essential plant nutrients. This traditional addition, also contains dairy excreta (e.g., feces urine), products milk ghee), natural resources honey), broken seeds or grains, their non-edible by-product waste. Here, we...
Introduction Over the years, smallholder farmers have faced more vulnerability to risk and uncertainty in India due their dependence on cereal crops. One way reduce this is through diversified agriculture, integrating different practices for efficient resource utilization, adopting a farming systems approach. An integrated system (IFS) one such technique that provides year-round income from components of enterprises. However, decision adopt IFS may be determined by several characteristics...
Twelve actinobacterial strains were isolated from tomato rhizospheric soil Manipur, a state in North East Indian Himalayan Region and screened for keratinolytic plant growth promoting traits. Nine promising isolates identified as Streptomyces species using partial 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Among the seven showing chicken feather degradation activity, three RCM-SSR-2, -6, -12 found to be most efficient degrading achieving 90% weight loss within 48 h of incubation. They also showed maximum...
