To investigate the effects of different nutrient management regimes on the soil chemical, eco-enzymatic stoichiometric and microbial characteristics, soil samples were collected from a 30-year, long-term field experiment with six plots growing rice. The results showed that as integrated fertilization increased, so did the concentrations of soil total or available nutrients and microbial biomass...

A specific methodology for these activities has not been prepared because the contribution to total national emissions is thought to be currently insignificant, i.e. less than 1% of national emissions of any pollutant. If you have information contrary to this please contact the expert panel leaders.

The effect of organic manure and chemical fertilizers on vegetable crops and soil properties in the radish-stem amaranth-Indian spinach cropping pattern was studied in a homestead area of Gazipur district in Bangladesh. There were eight treatments poultry manure (PM) 5 t ha (T1), cowdung (CD) 10 t ha -1 (T2), household waste (HW) 10 t ha -1 (T3), PM 2.5 t ha -1 + reduced RDF (recommended dose o...

On a survey during the period of 2006-2007 a number of tylenchids were found associated with Zea mays in Kashmir valley such as Pratylenchus sativus kaul, 1985, Aphelenchoides srinagrensis Kaul, 1985 and Tylenchorhynchus zeae Sethi and G. Swarp, 1968. These species were found to have morphometric variations probably due to habitat alteration from the originally described ones. As a part of the ...

Organic farming avoids the use of synthetic fertilizers and promises food production with minimal environmental impact, however this farming practice does not often result in the same productivity as conventional farming. In recent years, biochar has received increasing attention as an agricultural amendment and by coating it with minerals to form biochar-mineral complex (BMC) carbon retention ...

the study compared economic efficiency among smallholder farmers who practiced low external input technology [leit] and high external input technology [heit] agriculture in a harsh macroeconomic environment typified by inadequate fertilizer subsidy in imo state, nigeria. cross sectional data generated from 160 smallholder farmers randomly selected from 2 out of the 3 agricultural zones in imo s...

in current study, seven organic fertilizers including; leaf mold (lm), rice husk (rh), manure, spent mushroom compost (smc), mixture of lm, rh and smc (m 1), mixture of lm, rh and manure (m 2) with the ratio of 1:1:1 and control (no fertilizer) along with some levels of soil compactness comprising roller weights of 36, 56, 76 kilogram were used. treatments were applied in a strip plot design wi...
