Flyash can be used for reclaiming the problem soil and enhance the crop productivity depending upon the nature of soil and flyash. It may improve physical, chemical and biological properties of problem soils and enhance the available macro and micronutrients for plants. The high concentration of elements (K, Na, Zn, Ca, Mg and Fe) in flyash increase yield of agricultural crops. However, applica...

There is a pressing need to improve the water-use efficiency of rain-fed and irrigated crop production. Breeding crop varieties with higher water-use efficiency is seen as providing part of the solution. Three key processes can be exploited in breeding for high water-use efficiency: (i) moving more of the available water through the crop rather than it being wasted as evaporation from the soil ...

Many sustainable agronomical practices can be adopted to contain environmental risks of crop production and, at the same time, sustain yield and quality. In this framework, the aim of this research was to study the effects of continuous cropping (CC) and crop rotation, tillage and fertilization strategies on durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) production. The responses of soil properties we...

The research was carried out at Fruit station, Sangareddy, Hyderabad during the period of June, 2019 to January, 2020 (Mrig bahar crop) know effect biofertilizers and biostimulant on yield parameters guava (Psidium guajava L.) cv. Allahabad Safeda under meadow planting system. study indicated that interaction between significantly influenced parameters. Among twelve treatment combinations appli...

BiofertiJizers are microbial preparations containing living cells of different microorganisms which have the ability to mobilize plant nutrients in soil from unusable to usable form through biological process. They are environmental friendly and play significant role in crop production. Previollsly it is mainly used for field crops but now-a-days it is used for fruit crops also. Biofertilizers ...

ABSTRACT-The enrichment of bedding for vermicomposting systems with organic and inorganic additives is a technique which can promote the quality of produced vermicompost. Phosphate rock and fishmeal are two available and low-cost substances which can be provided easily and inoculation of vermicompost with phosphate solubilizing microorganisms (PSMs) can enhance the availability...

S table and secure food production is essential to civilization. Any methods that improve our understanding of crop yields have the potential to reduce human suffering and help provide the caloric needs of an expanding world population. Similar hopes apply to commodity crops such as cotton and those used to meet energy needs. Given the vast amount of agricultural research and experience, it mig...
