Studies were undertaken to assess the impact of wastewater/sludge disposal (metals and pesticides) from sewage treatment plants (STPs) in Jajmau, Kanpur (5 MLD) and Dinapur, Varanasi (80 MLD), on health, agriculture and environmental quality in the receiving/application areas around Kanpur and Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh, India. The raw, treated and mixed treated urban wastewater samples were col...

A decision support system for crop management of winter wheat has been designed using CommonKADS and an object-oriented design methodology. The system contains a plan for the field management operations. The consequences (economic and environmental indicators) of a plan is estimated using a simulation model. The model will be run using different sets of weather conditions to estimate the variab...

In this Crystal Ball we describe the negative effects of the scheme of intensive agriculture of the green revolution technology. To recover the contaminated soils derived from intensive farming is necessary introduce new successful technologies to replace the use of chemical fertilizer and toxic pesticides by organic fertilizers and biological control agents. Our principal speculation is that i...

Fluorides are found in the waste discharges from process streams in a number of industries. Significant amounts of fluoride come from the following industries: semiconductor, photovoltaic, glass manufacturers, electroplating, steel and aluminum, pesticides and fertilizer. The fluoride concentration in untreated effluent can vary over a large range, and the allowable level for discharge depends ...

This study focused on cattle urine utilization as bio-fertilizer and bio-pesticide its effectiveness boro rice production comparing with chemical fertilizer pesticides. Three groups were divided into completely randomized design (CRD) to conduct the experiment. No chemical/bio pesticides and/or fertilizers is being applied in control group (T0).The second (T1) by recommended dose. The third (T2...

Punjab is one of the most fertile regions in India, where wheat, rice, sugar cane, fruits and vegetables are grown and it is called the “Granary of India” or “India’s bread-basket”. Rice and wheat are double cropped in Punjab with rice stalks being burned off over millions of acres prior to the planting of wheat. This widespread practice is polluting and wasteful. In Punjab the consumption of f...

Radiations and radioisotopes are used in agricultural research to induce genetic variability in crop plants to develop improved varieties, to manage insect pests, monitor fate and persistence of pesticides, to study fertilizer use efficiency and plant micronutrient uptake and also to preserve agricultural produce. Use of radiation and radioisotopes in agriculture is one of the most important fi...
