Abstract Crop residues in agriculture pose disposal challenges and contribute to air pollution when burned. This study aims use pigeonpea maize stalks produce biochar at different pyrolysis temperatures. Biochar can serve carbon sequestration, as a soil amendment, an alternative fuel source. Pyrolysis was conducted 400, 500, 600 °C examine the effects on physicochemical properties, fuel, energy related properties. Increase temperatures resulted decrease of yield, volatile matter, O/C H/C...
The disposal of crop residues from agricultural fields is often seen as a burden due to the difficulties involved. However, this study aims turn pigeonpea stalks into biochar, which can serve fuel substitute and soil amendment sequester carbon. Different pyrolysis methods were employed investigate variations in yield, physicochemical characteristics, higher heating value (HHV) biochar produced stalks. using muffle furnace exhibited fixed carbon ash content. These characteristics make it...
Recent changes in the shifting cultivation landscape (SCL) of Indian Himalayan region—a global biodiversity hotspot—is great concern due to their implication conservation and economic development region impact on ecosystem services as well wellbeing region’s inhabitants. The present study investigated land use SCL psychological indigenous people region. Longitudinal data for over 15 years land-use patterns cross-sectional from 481 respondents across 52 villages representing six states...
Land and water management interventions are key to achieving sustainable intensification in the drylands. This study explores opportunities for doing so Vertisols Alfisols using 34-year (1976–2009) long-term experimental data. Four cropping systems were evaluated each soil types with two land form interventions, i.e., raised beds flat beds. Surface runoff generated content system monitored along crop yields. In Vertisols, maize-chickpea sequential sorghum+pigeon pea intercropping on...
Valorization of peanut shells has recently gained prominence in the context thermally converting agricultural waste into biochar, a carbon-rich byproduct with significant potential as soil amendment. The present study delves understanding influence slow (450°C and 500°C) fast (550°C 600°C) pyrolysis temperatures resident time 60 30 minutes, respectively, on physico-chemical properties shell biochar produced low-cost kiln. Results Scanning Electron Microscopy analysis revealed that increased...
The current diagnostic agronomy study of the Bankura region West Bengal, India, examined variations in crop yields through a socio-ecological analysis multiple production system components. Envirotyping for root cause was employed to delve into variables that affect performance rainfed systems. Mother Earth, man, machine, management, and materials (5Ms concept) were five indicators under which grouped. Findings demonstrated fragility region’s soils due its undulating terrain, unpredictable...
Sweet sorghum ( Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is a smart biofuel crop, which can be grown under tropical rainfed conditions without sacrificing food and fodder security. Three sweet cultivars (viz. ICSA 52 × SPV 1411, CSH 22 SS ICSV 93046) were six nitrogen levels (0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 kg ha -1 ) on Vertisols during two rainy kharif seasons at ICRISAT, Patancheru, India. The results from two-year trial indicated that out of three evaluated, hybrid produced highest green stalk (46.90 t...
Aim: To assess the effect of varieties, planting densities and phosphorus levels on yield physico-chemical properties post -harvest soil in rice fallow redgram. Study Design: The experiment was laid out strip-split plot design with three varieties as vertical factor viz., V1: ICPV-21333, V2: ICPV-21444 V3: ICPV-; two spacings P1: 0 kg P2O5 ha-1, P2: 25 P3: 37.5 ha-1 P4: 50 ha-1. Place Duration Study: RL 12, block 3 4, International Crops Research Institute for Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT),...
Aims: To find out the influence of moisture stress and nutrient management on root parameters high oleic normal groundnut varieties. Background: A field experiment was conducted at ICRISAT, Patancheru, Hyderabad, during rabi 2022-23 2023-24 to evaluate performance Groundnut varieties with practices under well watered water conditions. Methodology: During years an performed in a split plot design over environments. Under conditions irrigation is given 1.0 cumulative Epan, whereas scheduled...
Due to the pathogen’s ability survive in soil for longer durations, soil-borne diseases are often difficult control. This study investigates multifaceted impacts of biochar on management stem rot disease groundnut and its influence properties microbial communities. The effects at different concentrations, such as 0%, 1%, 3%, 5% incited by Sclerotium rolfsii were evaluated thoroughly. Under laboratory conditions, exhibited no direct inhibitory S. varying concentrations but revealed an...
Background: A two-year field study was conducted at the ICRISAT research farm during rainy seasons of 2021 and 2022 to investigate impact crop geometry, establishment method sustainable nutrient management practices on availability pattern growth hybrid pigeon pea. Methods: The experiment followed a split-split plot design. collected data analysed using radar graph heat maps for dry matter respectively. Result: Data revealing that transplanted plots registered higher proportionate root total...
