Sustainable management of surplus paddy residue in the Indo-Gangetic plain is a back-breaking task for farmers due to lack viable options. Eventually, prefer incinerate it mindlessly. important because straws are rich nutrients and can be translated into value added products. Several reasons like short time span sowing wheat, limited farm mechanisation, scarce manpower poor acceptability straw as fodder root causes behind this burning. The aim paper find fundamental illicit practice mark...
The degraded cultivated soils must be restored urgently in the rice ecologies of South Asia including Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP) by using sustainable soil management strategies. Pulse crops are normally used to diversify/intensify cereal systems different agroecologies. However, effect pulse-based crop rotations with integrated nutrient (INM) on quality is rarely contemplated ecologies. objective was find out cropping system involving pulses for enhanced after 16 years field experimentation...
Abstract Mono-cropping of maize–wheat, mechanical disintegration soils, and continuous chemical fertilization have deteriorated soil health in the Indo-Gangetic Plains. We studied long-term impact pulse-based cropping systems with integrated nutrient management on physical properties yield sustainability. evaluated four different systems: (1) maize–wheat (M–W), (2) maize–wheat–mungbean (M–W–Mb), (3) maize–wheat–maize–chickpea (M–W–M–C), (4) pigeonpea–wheat (P–W) each three degrees...
An in-depth knowledge on impact of integrated nutrient management (INM) practice yield sustainability and soil quality is important to scale INM across regions. Therefore, field experiment was initiated in 2006, which consisted five treatments: absolute control, 100% recommended doses nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) potassium (K) (RDF), 50% NP + K biofertilizers, 1 t ha−1 enriched compost (ECM) 25% 2 ECM (25RDF 2ECM). The use 25RDF 2ECM increased organic carbon by 32 24% over control RDF,...
The impact of global warming on soil carbon (C) mineralization from bulk and aggregated in conservation agriculture (CA) is noteworthy to predict the future C cycle. Therefore, sensitivity temperature was studied 18 years a CA experiment under rice-wheat cropping system Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP). comprised three tillage systems: zero (ZT), conventional (CT), strip (ST), each with levels residue management: removal (NR), burning (RB), retention (R). Cumulative (Ct) 0-5 cm depth significantly...
Abstract An insight into the dynamics of soil phosphorus (P) pools with long-term cropping/management practices would help in designing efficient and sustainable management module(s). The study aimed to investigate impact diversified rice-based rotations variable nutrient on dynamic composition P their influence systems’ base-crop productivity an alkaline Indo-Gangetic plain ( Fluvisol ). Treatments consisted four [rice–wheat (R–W), rice–wheat–mungbean (R–W–Mb), rice–wheat–rice–chickpea...
Applications of enriched compost (ECM) with reduced doses inorganic fertilizers over ten consecutive years phytotoxic aluminium (Al) fractions, whereas, improved nutritional quality rice in acid soil. The long-term field trial integrated nutrient management (INM) practices was initiated kharif–2006 at Instructional-cum-Research (ICR) farm under mono-cropping system. Treatments consisted T1; absolute control, T2; 100% recommended nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K), T3; 50% NP + K...
The enriched compost (ECM) comprising rock phosphate and biofertilizer consortia (BC) is a cheap source of organic input. A long-term field trial was initiated in kharif–2011 with the following treatment combinations used for rice sole-cropping: T1, absolute control; T2, 3.5 kg ha−1 consortia; T3, 5.0 t (CM); T4, CM + BC; T5, 2.5 ECM; T6, T7, 0.5 Azolla BC. Owing to usage ECM nine consecutive years, carbon pools biochemical properties soil were enhanced, nutritional quality enriched....
