Globally, there are a number of treatments indicated for the control of invasive alien plant species like parthenium. The production and use of vermicomposts from weeds or other wastes in agriculture is economical and eco-friendly. The unique advantage of using vermicomposting is that it helps to build and sustain soil condition and fertility for sustainable agricultural activities. The present...

Background: Blackgram being important crop among pulse is gaining popularity and thus requiring suitable production practices especially under organic farming. In this context, study was proposed with the objective to investigate optimal nutrient management in blackgram by utilizing various sources. Methods: Field experiments were conducted at two different locations spilt plot design. The trea...

When liquid manure is removed from storages for land application, "sludge" generally remains at the bottom of the tank. This may serve as an inoculum when fresh manure is subsequently added, thereby increasing methane (CH) emissions. Previous pilot-scale studies have shown that completely emptying storages can decrease CH emissions; however, no farm-scale studies have been conducted to quantify...

To assess the impact of bamboo plantations on soil organic carbon (SOC) under prevailing climatic conditions, increase in temperature and amendments, Roth C model was used. RothC is a promising for estimation SOC changes different land use systems. In present study, used to predict dynamics plantation seven species usual scenario: by 1 °C 2 farm yard manure (FYM) addition. The result revealed t...

On-farm manure storage pits contain both toxic and asphyxiating gases such as hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, methane, and ammonia. Farmers and service personnel occasionally need to enter these pits to conduct repair and maintenance tasks. One intervention to reduce the toxic and asphyxiating gas exposure risk to farm workers when entering manure pits is manure pit ventilation. This article ...

A study was undertaken to evaluate the impact of soil application spent mushroom substrate (SMS) and farm yard manure (FYM) enriched with T. harzianum on pre-emergency damping off (PED) post-emergence (POED) in chilli tomato seedlings nursery beds containing naturally infested Pythium aphanidermatum Rhizoctonia solani experimental field area Department Plant Pathology, CCSHAU Hisar during 2018-...
