Soil quality index (SQI) is the tool for evaluating sustainability of soil as affected by different factors such land-use change and agricultural management practices. For a growing population, decreasing land, maintaining crucial to reach food security. Thus, study aimed select better crop rotation Inceptisol Deltaic region Tamil Nadu using SQI. Therefore, develop SQI, samples were taken from one-year-old already established field which comprising seven rotations viz., Rice – Black gram,...
Sodicity is one of the major salt stresses that impair crop production. Exopolysaccharide-producing sodic tolerant bacteria (EPS-STB) play a significant role in reducing stress plants by hampering uptake sodium. In this context, study aims to isolate EPS-STB for alleviating rice under environment. Thus, artificial sodicity was created culture media, and 253 were isolated from rhizosphere soils Trichy Chinna Salem Tamil Nadu India. Fifty bacterial isolates initially screened based on EPS...
Organic farming is one of the broad spectrum methods production that ensures environmental safety and restricts synthetic input use. They are key component for sustainable agriculture. Vegetables vital source in Indian Diet nutrition. But, recent decades use chemicals had created problem to both human environment. Thus a need arises go back organic farming. The primary goal vegetable optimize health productivity interdependent communities plant, soil, people animals. its quality generates...
Crop residue management becomes the challenging issue to farmers for balancing between economic and sustainable environment. Though burning is easiest way of destroying crop waste it not only causes drastic changes in green house gas but also large amount nutrients are removed from soil by plants. Hence technique which protects environment along with enhancing quality needed. Therefore pyrolysis can become an alternate against past strategies. The heterogeneous characteristics biochar be...
As the world grapples with escalating threat of global warming, exploring sustainable agricultural practices has become imperative. Carbon sequestration is one such efficient method to mitigate carbon emissions and reduce warming. Among numerous options, terrestrial methods, notably via horticultural crops, have enormous potential. Horticultural which encompass a diverse array fruits, vegetables, plantations, ornamental plants, offer unique chance sequester considerable amount atmospheric...
Climate change leads to an increase in the frequency and severity of droughts, which have a negative impact on agriculture by altering plant growth lowering water availability, placing food production systems at risk sustainability. In order improve drought resistance ensure security face growing shortages, this research was conducted determine physiological enzymatic responses tomato plants stress. This study Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, involving 3 hybrids, viz., H1:...
The pot culture study was conducted in completely randomized design (CRD) with nine treatments replicated three times. surface soil (0-15 cm) collected from the field no 37, Eastern block, TNAU farm utilised for study. recommended dose of fertilizers adopted 25:50:25 N: P2O5:K2O kg per ha-1 and test crop greengram (Var. Co8). mature coconut water (MCW) added at time 0, 15, 30 45thdays after sowing. highest available nitrogen (170.8 ha-1), phosphorus (33.2 ha-1)and potassium (1098 ) noticed...
Most of the people in rural and urban areas world were dependent onthe medicinal plants for treatment infectious diseases. The Ayurvedicand Unani systems medicines are widely used by Indian subcontinent.Among different plant derivatives, secondary metabolitesproved to be most important group compounds that showed widerange antibacterial antifungal activity. Eupatorium triplinerve(Compositae) is a slender herb with narrow lanceolate leaves large numberof pedicelled flower â€Âheads at top...
Abstract Sodicity is one of the major abiotic stresses that impair plant growth and crop production. To establish sustainability in sodic soil, understanding their properties more important. Microbial diversities are playing a significant role maintaining soil properties. Thus, this study aims to explore impact different sodicity gradients on bacterial diversity metabolic functions rice rhizosphere using high throughput metagenomic approach. soils were collected from low (L2- Trichy)...
