Vermicomposts, which are produced by the fragmentation of organic wastes by earthworms, have a fine particulate structure and contain nutrients in forms that are readily available for plant uptake. In greenhouse trials, the growth of marigold and tomato seedlings, in a commercial horticultural potting medium (Metro-Mix 360), was enhanced significantly upon substitution of Metro-Mix 360 with 10 ...

A field experiment was carried out in Zaid 2022 at the Department of Agronomy's Agricultural Research Farm Prayagraj (Uttar Pradesh). There are three planting geometries used 30 cm x 10 cm, 40 and 50 cm. nitrogen management treatments 50% Recommended Dose Nitrogen (RDN) through inorganic fertilizer, RDN th rough fertilizer combination with provided yard manure Azotobacter seed inoculation, fert...

Soil amendment by organic matter (O.M.) has been widely accepted as an efficient nutrient-management technique in agriculture. The study was conducted pot culture experiment at the Rajiv Gandhi South Campus, Barkachha Banaras Hindu University (B.H.U.) Mirzapur, which is located Vindhyan zone of Mirzapur district 25º 10” latitude, 82º 37” longitude with altitude 427 meters above sea level. soils...

Introduction Over the past several years there has been significant interest in adopting on-farm manure anaerobic digesters in Ontario. The potential for sustainable energy production, while reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, mitigating pathogens and odours, and increasing ionized nutrients in the digestate, has made anaerobic digestion an attractive option for manure management. The biog...

Background Poultry breeding has increased by 306% in Korea, inevitably increasing the production of manure which may contribute to environmental pollution. The nutrients (NP) in the manure are essential for crop cultivation and soil fertility when applied as compost. Excess nutrients from manure can be accumulated on the land and can lead to eutrophication. Therefore, a nutrient load on the fin...

Nitrous oxide (N2O) emission from grassland-based agriculture is an important source of atmospheric N2O. It is hence crucial to explore various solutions including farm nitrogen (N) management to mitigate N2O emissions without sacrificing farm profitability and food supply. This paper reviews major N management practices to lower N2O emission from grassland-based agriculture. Restricted grazing...
