Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) is a sucrose-rich tap root crop, with its fresh containing up to 20% sucrose contents. Natural organic fertilizers can be good alternative synthetic fertilizers. For this purpose, an experiment was conducted for the optimization of different amendments i.e., farmyard manure, poultry compost, and biochar. After experiment, pre-optimized doses (farmyard 40 t ha−1; 20...

soil compaction is one of the most prevailed limitations for crop growth. the use of organic matters as fertilizer on agricultural soils can reduce the effects of soil compaction and provide the nutrients for the plants. so, a factorial experiment was carried out in a randomized complete blocks design with three replications. the first factor was the source and amount of organic fertilizer (far...

Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) is an ancient crop widely known as Lobia, Vegetable crop, Black-eyed peas. used pulse, fodder, vegetable, and green manure crop. It to suffer from many diseases pests. Nematodes cause a severe damage cowpea production leading economic losses. Among the nematodes, root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) Farmyard manure, spent mushroom compost, leaf waste of mari...

A field experiment was conducted on Palaviduthi soil series (Typic haplustalf, Red non- calcareous, sandy loam soil) by adopting the Soil Test Crop Response (STCR) under Integrated Plant Nutrition System (IPNS) approach during rabi season of 2021-22 with main objective reconstruction fertiliser prescription equations for hybrid bhendi (COBhH-4) drip fertigation using existing variety grown conv...

Farm-to-fork quantitative microbial risk assessments (QMRA) typically start with a preliminary estimate of initial concentration (Cinitial) microorganism loading at farm level, consisting an prevalence (P) and the resulting pathogen levels in animal faeces. An average estimation pathogens can be achieved by combining P estimates populations colonised animals' faeces cumulative herd farmyard man...

Mining is an important economic activity that promotes income generation, job creation, and industrialization globally. In spite its importance, it classified as land degradation form disrupts natural ecosystem through loss of biota soil health. Paucity information regarding the performance reclaimed mined soils in supporting crop production abound Kenya. To contribute to this knowledge gap, a ...

A field experiment on a saline-sodic soil with pH 8.21-8.42, ECe 6.40-7.90 dSm and SAR 17.79-23.46mmolwas carried out using five soil reclaiming treatments viz., leaching (Control), Farm yard manure (FYM) @ 10 tons ha, Rice Husk (RH) @ 10 tons ha, FYM+RH @ 5+5 tons ha and Gypsum @ 100% soil requirement in a complete randomized block design with four replications. Rice variety SARSHAR and wheat ...

Our soil continues to grapple with a number of familiar challenges like infertility, unfavourable conditions, and declining health as well quality. These issues are caused by the ongoing crises climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution, excessive fertilizer usage alone in intensive cropping. Deterioration can be alleviated application organic fertilizers. With this background, current experi...

The aim of the study was to determine effect sewage sludge and composts produced from municipal waste on content various forms nitrogen in soil. field experiment carried out 2004–2015. It included three crop rotations following plants: potato, spring barley, winter oilseed rape wheat. consisted treatments: control (without fertilization), NPK, manure (FYM), compost straw (CSSS), composted (CSS)...
