Agricultural waste residues and current environmental issues like soil, water, air pollution accumulate in the environment, causing deterioration of environment across globe. As a byproduct its operations, agriculture creates lot trash. If crop wastes from horticulture, such as plant biomass, are not adequately handled, ecology could be harmed. This excludes grains, fruits, pulses. The majority...

While many ecosystem processes depend on biodiversity, the relationships between agricultural plant diversity and soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) dynamics remains controversial. Our objective was to examine how temporal plant diversity (i.e. crop rotation) influences residue decomposition, a key ecosystem function that regulates nutrient cycling, greenhouse gas emissions, and soil organic matt...

Over 800 pesticides are currently approved for use in one or more EU countries. The maximum residue levels (MRL) for agricultural pesticides are derived from field trials conducted under good agricultural practice (GAP). The MRL is a legally enforceable limit related to GAP. The results from field trials would only be used to establish MRLs if the estimated intake of residues did not exceed the...
