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...
Environmental pollution, resource dwindling, and soil degradation questioned the sustainability of contemporary agricultural production systems. Organic farming is advocated as a sustainable solution for ensuring food security without compromising environmental sustainability. However, poor farm productivity quizzed organic Hence, field study was carried out in Sikkim region Indian Himalayas to assess efficacy conservation-effective tilling diversified cropping on system productivity,...
The complimentary integration of different enterprises recycled farm waste efficiently and increased the food production eco-efficiency considerably besides reducing greenhouse gasses intensity (GHGI) over existing system.
Biochar production and utilization is proposed as an innovative approach for enhancing food climate change mitigation. Globally, biochar has the potential to increase crop productivity by ∼11% reduces annual human-induced GHG emissions ∼12%.
The implementation of integrated potassium management presents a viable approach for augmenting plant growth, yield, and nutrient uptake while enhancing soil availability. A field experiment was executed during the rabi season 2020, employing randomized complete block design encompassing eight treatments involving standard (100%) reduced (75% 50%) rates recommended dose (RDK) administered through muriate potash (MOP). Treatments included variations in incorporation/exclusion growth-promoting...
French bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cultivation faces multipronged challenges of low farm productivity, poor economic returns, and soil health deterioration in the hilly ecosystem India. Hence, development a cost-effective soil-supportive technology is highly warranted. Thus, field experiment was conducted for two consecutive seasons Sikkim region Indian Himalayas to assess impact different organic nutrient sources on production potential, profitability, bean. Eight management practices,...
Small and marginal farmers are the core of Indian rural economy constituting 85% total farming community but possessing only 44% operational land. agriculture is labour oriented requires lot man-power energy even after this hard work not in a position to earn their livelihood, especially small because there very little left they pay for all inputs (seeds, livestock breeds, fertilizers, pesticides, energy, feed, labour, etc.). To fulfill basic needs these farm families including food (cereal,...
Food security and soil sustainability are the prime challenges to researchers policy planners across globe. The task is much more daunting in fragile ecosystem of Eastern Himalayan region India. Soil disturbance from conventional tillage reduces productivity not sustainable environmentally friendly. Conservation regarded as best crop production practice Indian Himalayas, where very easily erodible. Zero alone encourages growth different species weed flora hill ecosystems. However, live...
Introduction Malnutrition continues to be a significant concern at unacceptably high levels globally. There is potential for addressing malnutrition of human population through the biofortification climate-resilient vegetables using strategic breeding strategies. Lablab bean [ purpureus (L.) Sweet], underutilized nutrient-dense crop holds great in this aspect. Despite its advantageous nutritional profile, production, research, and consumption lablab are currently limited. Addressing these...
Inadequate green fodder of subpar quality poses a significant risk to livestock productivity, underscoring the pivotal role intercropping and integrated nutrient management effectively address dual challenge meeting both quantity requirements in fodder. In this study, employing factorial randomized block design experiment incorporated treatments S1- sole oats, S2- berseem, S3- 2 rows oats + 1 row S4 −1 berseem) alongside four N1- Control (100 % Recommended dose fertilizer (RDF)), N2 − 50 RDF...
Potassium, a pivotal macronutrient essential for growth, development, and crop yield, serves as critical determinant of soil productivity. Its depletion disrupts the equilibrium nutrients, prompting an investigation into integrated potassium management strategies to address this challenge. A field experiment was conducted during winter season 2020 using randomized complete block design, with eight treatments, each replicated three times in Chinese cabbage (
Inappropriate agricultural practices consume more input energy and emit higher greenhouse gases (GHGs) which cause global warming climate change, thereby threatening environmental sustainability. To identify carbon-efficient varieties nutrient management practices, the present study was undertaken during kharif season of 2018 2019 in a split-plot design with three fodder maize (African Tall, J-1006 P-3396) four such as N0: Absolute control, N1: 100% recommended dose fertilizers (RDF), N2:...
Conservation agriculture (CA) is gaining attention in the South Asia as an environmentally benign and sustainable food production system. The knowledge of soil bacterial community composition along with other properties essential for evaluating CA-based management practices achieving environment sustainability climate resilience rice-wheat-greengram long-term effects tillage-cum-crop establishment (TCE) methods on earthworm population, parameters well microbial diversity have not been...
Introduction: Contamination of pharmaceutical formulations by microbes poses a threat to both product integrity and patient safety, regardless whether the formulation is sterile or not. Aim study: Standardization microbiological parameters for some Material method: Various formulations, such as oral syrups, topical creams, ocular solutions, injectables, were examined. Conclusion: The standardization characteristics in essential guaranteeing effectiveness, adherence regulatory standards.
The present study aimed to assess the morphological and physiological traits associated with resistance mustard aphid in seven Brassica genotypes. Mustard, a vital crop India's agricultural sector, faces significant challenges from (Lipaphis erysimi Kalt), pest that causes substantial yield losses. aphids suck cell saps plants, which stunts plant growth lowers quality quantity of pods. experiment, conducted during rabi season 2023-24, involved 50 genotypes, an emphasis on identifying...
ABSTRACT Intensified mechanization, elevated chemical inputs, and sluggish organic manure decomposition pose challenges to agricultural productivity soil health under farming. We hypothesize that integrated nitrogen fertilization using farmyard (FYM), plant growth‐promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), panchagavya will enhance health, fodder energy, crop yield. The field experiment consisted of maize (M) berseem (B) cropping sequences, which were laid down in a randomized complete block design...
Recent research has extended the cycle life of soluble lead redox flow battery to several hundred cycles at laboratory scale. These improvements have largely resulted from empirical experimentation rather than a mechanistic understanding degradation processes. In this study, we investigate structural evolution positive electrode during cycling and identify key phenomena contributing performance loss using cyclic voltammetry, impedance spectroscopy, SEM imaging. Specifically, demonstrate that...
