With the global food deficit increasing and rising climate change issues, there is a need to find green solutions improve soil fertility productivity while enhancing biochemical quality reducing ecological impact of agriculture. Biochar potentially cost-effective, carbonaceous resource with many agricultural environmental applications. As amendment, it improves physical properties increases productivity—particularly over long-term—increasing aggregation, water retention, pH, microbial...
Zinc-oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NP) effect on crop physiology and zinc recovery remains poorly studied for acidic-sandy soils. To address this, greenhouse pot (plastic-pots, 6 kg soil, maize) experiments with ZnO-NP (50, 100, 150, 200 mg kg−1) applied via different methods (soil-drench, seed-coating foliar-spray) was conducted in a 60 days study. Results revealed that (100 soil-drench (150 enhanced shoot total P uptake, while ZnO-NPs (foliar) (50 maize growth (6–11%), agronomic physiological...
Abstract BACKGROUND Low recovery of conventional fertilizers remains a significant bottleneck for maize production globally. In particular, with phosphate fertilization, zinc (Zn) is prone to precipitation in soil, reducing both phosphorus (P) and Zn by maize. RESULTS The present study was designed investigate the synergistic effect oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs) P on crop growth, yield, nutrient uptake under ZnO seed coating foliar application randomized complete block design. However,...
Low Zinc (Zn) availability in alkaline calcareous soil is one of the major causes low cereal yield and quality. Conventional application Zn sulfate (ZnSO4) fertilizer through attains minimal efficiency as it readily fixed such soils. Oxozinc nanofiber (ZnONF) was evaluated for wheat biofortification using different methods to tackle this issue. Pots triplicate (each with 7 kg soil) were arranged a completely randomized design control treatment without application. The conventional ZnSO4...
A field experiment was conducted at the Horticulture farm of Paklihawa Campus, Institute Agriculture and Animal Science, Rupandehi district to observe effect biochar from different origin on physio-chemical properties soil yield garden pea (Pisum sativum L.) evaluate them. The laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design with four replications. set up constituted various treatments viz. rice husk biochar, poultry manure sheep yard wood along control group. Results showed that number...
Biochar fertilization improves soil fertility and carbon sequestration, implying agricultural environmental advantages. The effect of different sized previously applied biochar biofertilizer agents on succeeding crops remains poorly known for legume–cereal cropping cycles. This study compared particle-sized strains to lentils their residual impact subsequent maize growth, nutrition, without further polluting the environment. Three particle sizes (<2, 2–5, 5–10 mm) Babul tree (Acacia...
Introduction: Biochar and biofertilizer have emerged as sustainable soil amendments to improve fertility quality. However, it is necessary determine how biochar’s various particle sizes biofertilizers affect microbial biomass carbon (MBC), nitrogen (MBN), CO 2 sequestration. Methods: This research examined two rhizobia inoculum products—Biozote-N Rhizogold—along with three biochar (&lt;2, 2–5, 5–10 mm) under incubation intervals of 3, 6, 10 days. Results: The MBC (µg g −1 soil) MBN...
Low agricultural nutrient input efficiency remains a significant impediment for crop production globally. To address this issue in cotton agroecosystems, there is need to develop sustainable management strategies achieve high yields. We hypothesized that organic liquid fertilizer (OF) combined with reduced chemical (CF) would enhance yield by improving leaf functioning and soil properties. However, the underlying mechanism its related process poorly understood.This study explored effects of...
Abstract Conventional Zinc (Zn) fertilization (e.g., zinc sulfate) often leads to poor availability in soils. oxide nanoparticles (nano ZnO) can be a potential solution, but their effect on crop photosynthetic activity isn’t well documented. The effects of nano ZnO (50, 100, 150, 200 mg L -1 ) and application methods (seed-coating, soil-drench, foliar-spray) comparison with ZnSO 4 recommended dose were evaluated for plant height, biomass, chlorophyll pigments photosystem efficiency...
