Urea is a universal fertilizer, but its use efficiency hardly exceeds 30–35%, and more than 70% lost to the environment, causing eutrophication in aquatic systems. This research focuses on encapsulating urea molecules using lignin-chitosan composite. The nanocomposite was developed as suitable carrier for entrapping nitrogenous fertilizer. Coconut coir contains plenty of lignin, which extracted organosolv process by ethanol solvent. Organosolv lignin (OSL) yielded spherical nanoparticles...
Although plastics provide numerous conveniences for human life, concerns about ecosystems and life are rising tremendously due to increased plastic production consumption. The ubiquitous presence undeniable distribution of microplastics (MPs) in agricultural usage created a major risk concern soil ecology health. ecological assessment sites the Coimbatore region South India has been evaluated using three indices: Pollution Hazard Index (PHI), Load (PLI), Potential Ecological Risk (PERI)....
Sweet corn (Zea mays var. saccharata), cherished globally for its sweet taste and nutritional richness, is sensitive to zinc availability-a key micronutrient vital enzymatic activity, photosynthesis kernel development. Despite importance, deficiency in agricultural soils remains a significant barrier enhancing crop yield quality. This study explores the efficacy of foliar-applied green-synthesized oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) using Moringa oleifera leaf extract quality under field...
An incubation study was conducted to estimate the potential inhibition rates of nitrification using phytonim-coated fertilizers like urea and ammonium sulfate (AS) at different concentrations viz., 100 % 65 recommended dosage (RD) additionally ammonifying bacteria (AB) added with as one treatments. Samples were taken 13 intervals in a 45-day experiment. Applying delayed process for 35 days, improving soils' available N. Ammonia oxidation nitrite reduced by 14 urea, 11 23 + AB 24 45 AS,...
Coconut shell is one of the major agro-by products vis-a-vis agro-waste generated by coconut processing units. At present, shells are largely utilized as feed material for thermal power conversion various allied industrial sectors, which a highly energy inefficient and ecologically unfriendly process. The present study aimed to generate activated carbon dots/ nanomaterials with wide range potential applications through relatively less dependant hydrothermal carbonization Hydrothermal...
India is the second most prolific tea producing nation in world, which consumes 82% of its production, accounting for 19.5% global consumption. Despite improvement technology, employing wood to produce heat has been a vital element processing generations. Many specialists experience that it adds particular fragrant touch finished product. However, management ash generated by factories significant concern due large amount burned during processing. Therefore, transportation and effective...
Stabilizing GHG emissions in the agri-food sector is crucial for climate change mitigation. Tea one of most consumed drinks worldwide and such high levels consumption necessitate carbon footprint (CF) assessment its entire life cycle encompassing all six stages as cultivation, processing, packaging, transportation, disposal to understand environmental impact tea industry at large. In this context, study a maiden attempt quantify compare CF three types black, green white single research paper...
A potculture study was conducted in soils collected from long-term fertilizer experiment (LTFE) being kept up as far the past 40 years to determine whether arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF) Rhizoglomus intraradices colonization changes active and passive pools of carbon a maize (Zea mays) – finger millet (Eleusine crocana)- cowpea (Vigna sinensis) cropping sequence Experimental Farm Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, India. Soil samples were processed, sterilized plants grown...
Majority of the tannery industries are located in Ambur, Vaniyambadi, Walajapet and Thirupattur areas Vellore district, Tamil Nadu. The dispose waste contained chromium into soil onto Palar river basin. Large amounts Cr is found groundwater as well ecosystem. Based on basic survey tanneries its pollution our studies focused bio-remediation contaminated soil. resistant microbes were isolated from characterization was done. cultures evaluated with hexavalent chro- mium reduction Three...
This study focuses on the synthesis and comprehensive characterization of sulphur nanoparticles (S-NPs) using a precipitation method. The involved sodium thiosulphate cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide surfactants in concentrated hydrochloric acid medium. resulting S-NPs were thoroughly characterized various advanced techniques. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed crystalline nature nanoparticles, revealing distinctive patterns. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) provided...
Aim: To evaluate the toxic effects of nano-zeolites on soil beneficial microorganisms. Methodology: This study involved dry milling zeolites at varying parameters to obtain dry-milled four size regimes such as 10-100 nm, 200-400 500-1000 nm and 1000-2000 that were tested incremental concentrations 100 ppm, 1000 ppm 2000 along with control various Three replications done for each treatment factorial completely randomized design. The poison food technique, growth curve assessment followed by...
