One of the biggest challenges to be addressed in world agriculture is low nitrogen (N) use efficiency (<40%). To address this issue, researchers have repeatedly underlined need for greater emphasis on development and promotion energy efficient, environmentally sound novel fertilizers, addition improved agronomic management augment nutrient restoring soil fertility increasing farm profit. Hence, a fixed plot field experiment was conducted assess economic environmental competency...

Ecological indicators are herculean contrivance for assessing management practices' impacts on environmental changes. Soil organic carbon (SOC) potentially regulates the agricultural sustainability. Unfortunately, SOC has been widely degraded through unsustainable land uses and practices. Hence, efficacy of conservation tilling diversified cropping were assessed in terms restoration associated soil properties fixed plots, which related with farm productivity other ecosystem services under...

Inadequate nutrient management is one of the major challenges for sustainable soybean production in semi-arid climatic conditions. Hence, a 3-year (2015–2017) field experiment was conducted to assess effect foliar application macro- and micronutrients on growth, productivity, profitability soybean. Eight sprays at pod initiation stage—water spray (WS), 2% urea solution, di-ammonium phosphate solution (DAP2%), 0.5% muriate potash (MOP0.5%), 19:19:19 nitrogen phosphorus potassium (NPK2%), each...

Soil is an essentially limited natural resource that and human-induced processes have both generated damaged. degradation has become one of the most crucial socio-economic environmental problems since it produces deterioration in productivity quality soil resources. erosion, a phenomenon causes and, curves surface away from physical forces. To reveal main factors influencing spatial distribution erosion small watershed Loess Plateau, present study investigated synergistic as well independent...

The net arable land area is declining worldwide rapidly due to soil erosion, drought, loss of organic carbon, and other forms degradation. Intense rainfall, cultivation along steep slopes, unscientific land-use changes, shifting cultivation, acidity, nutrient mining in hills mountains make agriculture unsustainable less profitable. Hills mountain ecosystems the Eastern Himalayan Region (EHR) are further prone impact climate change posing a serious threat agricultural production environment....

Abstract Currently, agroecosystems sustainability is mainly challenged by unsustainable agricultural practices that lead to land degradation and amplified climate change. About 25% of the World's total area has deteriorated due improper management, resulting in ~24 billion tonnes annual soil loss. Globally, erosion, caused high‐frequency tilling, crop residue removal or burning, poor pasture inefficient rotations, responsible for >40% deterioration problems. Conservation agriculture (CA)...

It is widely accepted that deficiency of macro (nitrogen) and micronutrients (zinc, copper etc.) affects the plant growth development which cause a significant threat to crop production food security. The Indian Farmers Fertilizer Cooperative (IFFCO) developed nano-urea (nano-N), nano-zinc (nano-Zn), nano-copper (nano-Cu) liquid fertilizer formulations enhance yields, simultaneously addressing nutrient deficiency, without causing toxicity. Therefore, this study was formulated evaluate...

Abstract Appropriate land configuration and assured nutrient supply are prerequisites for quality organic baby corn ( Zea mays L.) production in high rainfall areas of the delicate Eastern Himalayan Region India. A long term (5-year) study was conducted during 2012–2016 on a sandy loam soil mid attitude Sikkim, India to evaluate productivity, produce quality, profitability corn, properties under different configurations comprising flatbed, ridge furrow, broad bed management practices...

The contribution of soil to supporting, regulating, provisioning and cultural functions as well its role in the ecosystem services is well-known international literature. However, domain organic agriculture, impact cropping systems shifts from cereal-cereal high-frequency diversified sequences with legume a component crop on carbon dynamics not widely known. In order identify an alternative system prevalent rice-fallow production Himalayan region India, seven viz., rice -fenugreek (green...
