Rice–wheat cropping system (RWCS) of the South Asia is labour-, water-, capital- and energy-intensive, become less profitable as availability these resources diminished. This could be further aggravated with deterioration soil structure, declining underground water lesser land productivity which ultimately are threat in front sustainable RWCS region. For improving profits, production sustainability this sequence - a paradigm shift required. Scientists recommended different...
In modern agriculture, chemical pesticides are frequently used in agricultural fields to increase crop production. Besides combating insect pests, these insecticides also affect the activity and population of beneficial soil microbial communities. Chemical upset activities microbes thus may nutritional quality soils. This results serious ecological consequences. Soil had different response pesticides. biomass that plays an important role ecosystem where they have crucial nutrient cycling. It...
The indiscriminate use of chemical pesticides disturbs the soil environment, thereby affecting flora and fauna including microflora, also physicochemical properties soil, viz.pH, salinity, alkalinity, leading to poor fertility.With application pesticides, possibilities exist that these chemicals may exert certain effects on non-target microorganisms.The microbial biomass plays an important role in ecosystem, where they fulfill a crucial nutrient cycling decomposition.A series field...
Bio-remediation is one of the cheap and eco-friendly approaches for remediation salt affected lands as traditional physical chemical techniques are becoming costly. The possibility application halophilic bacteria in saline/sodic soil recovery importance microbial diversity important order to realistically access their future rehabilitation degraded lands. plant growth promoting helps bio-remediation soils thereby improves agricultural crop yields. Bio-inoculation seeds wheat with resulted...
Nitrous-oxide emission and nitrate addition from agriculture to earth's environment are two main related anthropogenic causes of environmental degradation that needs greater attention. For addressing the aforesaid issue, new techniques/practices need be developed implemented. The present investigation, which was focused on this resulted in developing a mode nitrogen (N) placement, i.e. 'mid rib placement upper corms splits (MRPU-2S)', could reduce nitrous oxide N by around 70.11% and,...
The management of municipal solid waste (MSW) and the reclamation degraded sodic soils are two serious environmental socio-economic problems experienced by developing nations. To overcome these problems, a technology has been developed for composting MSW using earthworm ligno-cellulolytic microbial consortia its utilization sustainable soils, as well harnessing their productivity potential. standardize on-farm under aerobic conditions, field experiment consisted seven treatment combinations,...
The adsorption isotherms indicated that the of boron (B) increased with its increasing concentration in equilibrium solution. Langmuir isotherm was curvilinear and it significant when curves were resolved into two linear parts. maximum value maxima (b1) observed to be 7.968 mg B kg−1 Garhi baghi soil bonding energy (k) constant at 0.509 L mg−1 Jodhpur ramana soil. best explains phenomenon low concentrations adsorbent, which course different for soils. There correlation between b1 clay (r =...
Soil degradation due to salinization and sodication is the paramount threat in Indo-Gangetic plains. The studies on reclamation management of such soils can provide a pragmatic solution for improving fertility productivity these soils. Lack organic matter poor availability nutrients are major factors low sodic Rice-wheat cropping system alluvial plain region even reclaimed farmers used inorganic fertilizers only get higher yields. In this study, we different sources amendments conjunction...
Accumulation of salts in soils is one the major challenges for food production vast areas, and reclamation these too expensive marginal farmers. We evaluated existing practice (EP; gypsum application at 50% requirement (GR) followed by cultivation traditional varieties rice wheat) improved (IP; 25%GR+10 Mg ha−1 pressmud followedby salt-tolerant farmers' fields Hardoi district Uttar Pradesh, India. Effects treatments on productivity profitability were over 3 years from 2011 to 2014. The study...
The cold arid region of Ladakh has high variability in soil characteristics. Soils the are quite distinct from those other zones due to differences climate, topography, vegetation and rocks. paper details characteristics along with physiography, geology climate region. not only vary physico-chemical properties but also genesis classification as well microbiological properties. Such have been studied typical profiles. By large, soils shallow very depth. They widely colour, texture, structure...
