review and goals: the ajowan(carum copticum) is a medicinal plants from apiaceae family that seeds contains 2-4% of volatile oil. 9-17 of chemical composition of ajowan essential oil have been reported(2), it have antibacterial and antioxidant activity of it caused to preserve the food materials(1). the application of chemical fertilizer leads to environmental pollution and ecological disaster ...

In recent years, the disposal of organic wastes from domestic, agricultural and industrial sources has caused increasing environmental concerns. In this regard, the recycling of utilizable waste is feasible. This can be solved by combination of effective technologies like Biodung composting and Vermitech (incorporating earthworms for the production of vermicompost). The present work was carried...

The aim of the study was to observe changes in the diversity of bacterial community in maize rhizosphere influenced by organic and mineral fertilization. Four variants of fertilization were tested vermicompost (VC) at recommended annual dose 40t*ha, doubled annual dose of VC, recommended dose of ammonium saltpeter with dolomite (LAD 27) and combination of VC and LAD 27. Experiment was conducted...

introduction in recent years, by increasing human knowledge and using different technology on food production, human concerns have increased on safety of food products especially medicinal crops. in order to achieve healthy food production, application of ecological inputs such as organic and biological fertilizers are inevitable. organic fertilizers are fertilizer compounds that contain one or...

today, the production of healthy and high quality seedlings is the main factors of success in growing vegetables such as tomato. hence, in order to investigate the effect of different levels of vermicompost and nitrogen on the growth parameters of tomato seedlings (lycopersicon esculentum mill. cv. rio grande), a factorial experiment was conducted in a randomized complete design with three repl...

to evaluate the effects of fertilizing and deficit irrigation regimes on some chemical properties of soil and plant, an experiment was conducted during 2007 and 2008 growing seasons. experimental design was a split plot based on a randomized complete block design with four replications. the treatments consisted of three deficit irrigation regimes (main plots) and six soil fertilizing systems (s...

Scientific investigations have established the viability of using earthworms as a treatment technique for numerous waste streams besides producing organic fertilizers. Vermicomposting results in the bioconversion of the waste stream into two useful products, earthworm biomass and vermicompost. The former can be used as a protein source whereas vermicompost is considered as an excellent product ...

Department of Environmental Biotechnology, School of Environmental Sciences, Bharathidasan University, Trichy620 024 Mail id: [email protected] ABSTRACT: The increasing waste generation rate, high collection cost and dwindling financial resources are the major problems faced by most of the developing countries for efficient solid waste management. In some cities, the organic wastes (Market...
