Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) symbiosis, which may be found in almost all naturalistic habitats, perform activities such as nutrition uptake, stress modulation, growth stimulation, soil structure, and fertility management. AMF easily takes up phosphorus (P) from the transports it to plants. facilitates host plants grow vigorously under nutrient-deficient conditions by mediating a series of complex communication events between plant leading enhanced uptake nutrients activation...
Climate change-induced frequent cyclones are pumping saline seawater into the Sundarbans. Fani, Amphan, Bulbul, and Yaas were major that hit region during 2019–2021. This study represents changes in soil parameters, mangrove biodiversity zonation due to cyclone surges Indian Sundarbans between 2017 2021. Increasing tidal water salinity (parts per thousand) trends both pre-monsoon (21 33) post-monsoon (14 19) seasons have been observed A 46% reduction organic blue carbon pool is a 31%...
Global warming-induced abiotic stresses, such as waterlogging, significantly threaten crop yields. Increased rainfall intensity in recent years has exacerbated waterlogging severity, especially lowlands and heavy soils. Its is projected to increase by 14–35% the future, posing a serious risk production achievement of sustainable development goals. Soybean, major global commercial cultivated across diverse climates, highly sensitive with yield losses up 83% due impaired root morphology...
The Banni grassland in Kachchh, Western India, represents a unique ecosystem characterized by arid conditions and distinct pre post-monsoon seasons. This study aims to assess the ecological linkages between soil dynamics selected ecotones of grassland. Our focused on key parameters, including iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), phosphorus (P), nitrogen (N), potassium (K), water holding capacity (WHC), pH, electrical conductivity (EC), organic carbon (SOC). Results revealed...
Amongst the soil qualities that are taken into consideration while quantifying fertility status of for agri-production, properties water holding capacity, bulk density, electrical conductivity and pH play crucially important roles, directly as well indirectly. The role organic matter content in altering aforesaid occurs through various complex interactions. In our study we attempted to understand impact amendments traditional ecological knowledge (TEK)-based input agri-management systems...
Fixation of Phosphorus into locked forms hampers the availability this important soil element. Phosphate Solubilising Microorganisms (PSM) play an role solubilisation and mineralization these fixed bio-available through reactions that are complex but provide simple solutions to P deficiency in soils. Semi-arid may have high total phosphorus concentrations as most is unavailable form, it leads essential macronutrient crop. The use microbial inoculants (biofertilisers) possess solubilizing...
Abstract Quantity–intensity relations of potassium (K) were worked out for guava orchard soils. Equilibrium activity ratio (ARe k) ranged from 0.46 × 10−3 to 21.30 (mol L−1)0.5. The majority the samples had less than 1 L−1)0.5, indicating K depletion in these soils due continuous mining. ARe k was significantly and positively correlated with available forms K, saturation percentage, labile (KL), specific-site (KX) negatively free energy exchange (–ΔG). potential buffering capacity (PBC0 K)...
Aims:The study was carried out to assess the soil Phosphorus (P) status (available and total) in farms with organic amendments compared results those which practice an integrated amendment system.In conjugation P of soil, microbial flora terms total count Phosphate Solubilizing Microorganisms (PSM) studied.The chemical parameters such as pH, electrical conductivity (EC), available nitrogen potassium were also evaluated.Study Design: The sites selected for comprised 8 fields maize (Zea mays)...
Effect of organic and integrated nutrient management practices on phosphorus fractions total (P) in basmati-wheat sequence were investigated a long term fertilizer experiment which is progress since rabi 2006–07, at Research Farm Department Soil Science, Punjab Agricultural University Ludhiana. All the (Sa-P, Fe-P, Al-P Ca-P) lowest control highest INM2 treatment. Total P also followed similar trend. Ca-P was dominant fraction constituting between 29.1% 58.05% representing an average 49.2%...
Abstract Grasslands are crucial ecosystems that provide numerous ecological services and support biodiversity conservation. undergo significant threat from both anthropogenic natural threats, compromising their ability to maintain biodiversity, ecosystem services, human well-being. Despite this, grasslands frequently ignored in sustainable development objectives. An adequate knowledge of how grassland degradation affects is essential for management restoration. The Kachchh region western...
