  • 摘要：Distribution of different forms of sulphur(S)and carbon-nitrogen-sulphur relationships were studied in surface and subsurface soils of some tea growing areas of Northeastern India.The soils were strongly acidic in reaction(pH-4.0 to 5.5),low to very high in organic carbon(4 to 54 g kg^-1),with cation exchange capacity(8.8 to 19.2 cmol(p+)kg^-1)and base saturation(50 to 77%).Organic S mostly contributed to the total-sulphur(62 to 77%)followed by Non sulphate S(28.8 to 37.2%)and sulphate S(0.7 to 1.4%).Except sulphate S,other forms of sulphur showed significant positive correlation among themselves as well as with organic carbon and total nitrogen.The C:N,C:S,N:S and C:N:S ratio varied from 8.2 to 10.0,6.18 to 71.57,0.62 to 7.26 and 100:10.1:1.4 to 100:12.2:16.2 respectively.Wider C:N:S ratios in all the surface and sub-surface soils indicated that the major portion of nitrogen and sulphur in tea growing soils of Northeastern India is locked up in organic combination which might pose as a potential threat towards tea plantation if application of sulphur is continuously ignored.
  • 摘要：With inevitable growth of demand for human and industrial needs,water available for agriculture will become scarcer in the future.India is a highly water-stressed country.Hence,India needs to invest in improving its water productivity,and any capacity to produce more rice with less water.System of Rice Intensification(SRI)has attracted much attention in increasing rice yield per unit area.For this study,fifteen farmers were selected those were practicing SRI technology by themselves during the Boro-cultivation season(January-April).The study was continued for three consecutive years 2012 to 14 on the same fields.In addition to the SRI plots,a similar size of non-SRI plot was maintained in conventional cultivation for comparison purpose.On an average,the non-SR I ight increased by 12%,number of tillers per square meter by 85%,number of reproductive tillers per hill by 286%,weight of panicle per hill by 139%,number of seeds per panicle by 41%and test weight by 26% due to SRI practice over the non-SRI practice.Average increment in straw and grain yield due to SRI over the non-SRI is 70%and 59%respectively.The physico-chemical and biological properties of soil improved due to SRI practice.
  • 摘要：Silver nanoparticles(AgNP)synthesized from It influenced the inherent soil properties like bulk density(BD),water holding capacity(WHC),available N,P,K,urease,phosphatase activity and TOC.The apparent increment WHC,N,P,K,urease,and phosphatase in soil were observed whereas reduction of BD was noticed.Due to application of nanosolutions the pH of the soil shifted towards neutrality from 0 to 60 days.Moreover,they also did not have any toxicity upon plant as well as earthworm ecosystem.
  • 摘要：Leather industries that uses the conventional chrome tanning process are subjected to high risk of contamination due to the emission of toxic Cr(VI)that poses a serious threat to the environment and human’s wellbeing.The present study were made to isolate and characterize chromium tolerant bacteria in the samples collected from four different plots of Bantala Tannery,Kolkata,West Bengal,India.Pure chromium tolerant bacterial strains were isolated from the tannery sludge samples and their relative MIC(Minimum Inhibitory Concentration)were recorded at different concentrations of Cr(VI)salts to select the highest chromium tolerant bacterium.The selected bacterium was further taken for their growth studies followed by different cultural,morphological and molecular analysis(16S rDNA).The bacterial strain was further studied through SEM(Scanning Electron microscopy)and EDX(Energy Dispersive X-ray)spectroscopy which revealed that TW4 was a gram positive,rod shaped,endospore forming,pleomorphic bacterium with phylogenetic similarities with Isoptericola sp.and genebank accession number SUB1732465 TW4 KX640927.
  • 摘要：Field experiments were undertaken on sandy soils with three cropping systems at Giridih,Jharkhand,India for two years during 2012-2014.The experiments were executed in split plot design by assigning water soluble phosphorus(WSP)fertilizers in main-plot and recommended dose of phosphorus(RDP)in sub-plot with three replications.The maximum economical yield of rice(4705 kg/ha),baby corn(842 kg/ha)and Chickpea(920 kg/ha)were recorded with the application of 30%WSP.The maximum economical yield of successive crops-wheat(3185 kg/ha),mustard(1720 kg/ha)and groundnut(1578 kg/ha)were recorded with the application of 30%WSP and 100%RDP treatment.Almost similar trends were noticed in terms of by-product yield,nutrient uptake and residual soil fertility status.All the levels of WSP(30%-89%)in complex fertilizers were found to be equally effective for grain yield,straw yield,nutrient uptake,and residual soil fertility.
  • 摘要：Nanomaterials(NMs)have become an integral part of our daily life,and their extensive production will only increase with the increasing time.These NMs exhibit significant contrast regarding dimension,reaction,and structure.The most important aspect of the NMs is that these can be easily manipulated and engineered to custom-suit different functions/industries.Owing to their dynamic nature,these NMs behave differently when introduced in any medium.In soil,the behavior of NMs is significantly controlled by the interactions of nanomaterials with soil phases.Although NMs are deemed beneficial for human-use,yet these also carry lethal effects.Moreover,there is a dearth of adequate research for the interactions among nanomaterials and soil physicochemical properties;their accumulation-dissolution dynamics in soil-plant systems;and their long term influence on soil health.Several NMs induce physiological stress when introduced inside the body.Thus,various researchers have devised green pathways for producing NMs,although their wide applicability is still questionable.Although the domain of nanotechnology is greatly explored,yet there remain several grey areas which need to be addressed for sustainable utilization of these unique materials in the benefit of humankind.
  • 摘要：Externality;the term can define as a positive or negative impact from either production or consumption of goods or services.Services provided by particular location have very specific dependency on spatial characteristics of that region.A region’s distinct characteristics make it ecologically unique from other such regions.Ecosystem services are offered by these regions thus differ according to these unique ecological features.In this particular study,artificially imposed expansion of coastal shrimp farming towards the inland and its impact over paddy cultivation have been addressed.Optimization of the extent of this manipulative coastal expansion has been supported by little modification of a previously described model.Here the investment prediction for both shrimp and paddy farming has been investigated by calculating net present value(NPV).Shrimp farming has very specific externality on local ecosystem services.In this particular case,some contradictory results are presented and with respect to positive or negative externality;but the externalities are strong.NPV results indicate that there is no long-term profitability in case of shrimp farming.Hence,an overall externality of shrimp farming has been described in context of this study.
  • 摘要：Nitrogen is the major nutrient plays a key role in the production of rice crop and the lateritic soils are low in available nitrogen content.Accordingly,the field study was carried out in lateritic soils of Konkan(Coastal)region during year(2017-2018)to find out the effect of different levels of nitrogen along with silica levels on growth and yield of rice.The major aspect behind taking this kind of research was to see the interaction between the applications of varying levels of nitrogen with the different levels of silica.An experiment was carried out with FRBD design.The nitrogen was given by the Konkan Annapurna Briquettes(KAB)which is the compressed tablet type mixture of the fertilizer which is having major nutrients N,P and K.Silica was applied solely through potassium silicate with the paper packets.There might have been positive response with growth and silica levels also with the rate of application of nitrogen with the increased levels of silica.It was observed that the application of 80 per cent RDN through Konkan Annapurna Briquettes(KAB)with Silica@100 kg ha-1 which was applied between four hills was found promising in enhancing the growth and yield of Ratnagiri-24 Cv.in lateritic during Kharif season.It could be concluded that,the application of nutrients in the form of Konkan Annapurna Briquettes along with the application of silica can reduce the recommended dose of fertilizer to the extent of 20 per cent during Kharif season in Konkan region.
  • 摘要：Incessant application of chemical fertilizers to the agricultural fields may alter the composition and activities of soil microbiota.Thus,the shift of cultivation practices from chemical to organic is considered to be the need of the hour in order to maintain soil health.A study was conducted in the agricultural fields of the University of Burdwan,India to observe the impact of organic manure on the rhizosphere bacterial community.The experiments were conducted on maize plants,supplemented with the recommended dose of chemical fertilizer and organic manure(vermicompost and cow dung mixture).Corresponding changes in the plant phenological events and soil health in terms of soil physico-chemical factors and rhizosphere bacterial groups up to the level of CFU g-1×105 dry soil was noted.The results showed a significant increase in population of phosphate solubilizing bacteria during 30DAS.However,at 90 DAS,significant increase in the population of phosphate solubilizing bacteria,nitrifying bacteria,asymbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria and protein hydrolyzing bacteria was observed in the organically treated plots.The growth of rhizosphere bacteria was attributed to the type of organic manure supplied to the agricultural fields.In addition,a strong correlation was observed between Zn and protein hydrolyzing bacteria.The soil organic carbon and available nitrogen were strongly correlated with nitrifying,fat solubilizing and phosphate solubilizing groups of bacteria.

  • 摘要：Production of eggplant(Solanum melongena L.)is influenced by limited soil water and fertility conditions that affect its growth and yield.The use of superabsorbent polymer(SAP),also known as slush powder and rabbit manure are among the strategies that can improve soil conditions,hence growth and yield of crops.The objective of the study was to evaluate the effects of SAP and rabbit manure on soil moisture,growth and yield of eggplant.The study was conducted at Pwani University,Kilifi,Kenya.A randomized complete block design with three replications was used.The treatments were SAP,rabbit manure,SAP plus rabbit manure and control(without SAP or rabbit manure).Soil moisture,growth and yield parameters were determined.Superabsorbent polymer and/or rabbit manure improved soil moisture,growth and yield of eggplant compared with the control.Use of SAP had a better soil moisture retention,growth and yield comparable to SAP combined with rabbit manure.The finding demonstrates that use of SAP and/or rabbit manure may help in better soil water and nutrient management,particularly in arid and semi-arid areas to improve growth and yield of eggplant.
  • 摘要：Subsistence farming,a form of cultivation in which almost all crops or livestock are used to maintain farms and the farm family,leaving little,surplus for sale and trade.Pre-industrial farming peoples all over the countries of the worldwide apply subsistence agriculture system and take advantage of the possibilities available to them from land and water resources in all locations of agriculture sites.The agricultural production has become more specialized and developed in the subsistence farming system,and farmers have produced abundant production from many horticulture crops that are traded among them and achieve their selfsufficiency from those crops.
  • 摘要：The study investigated constraints of women farmers access to ICTs for agricultural information in Oyo State.A total of 120 respondents were sampled.Data were retrieved using interview schedule and were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics.Statistics reveal respondents average age,average household size and average monthly income as x=45.8,x=10.6 and x=₦7,800.34 respectively,majority(86.7%)were married,58.3%representing respondents with primary education.Mobile phone(x=0.98)was the most available among the respondents while poor ICTs infrastructure(x=1.55)and difficulty in the utilization of ICTs gadgets(x=1.62)ranked highest as constraints access to ICTs for agricultural information.Significant relationship existed between respondents average monthly income(r=0.492,p=0.000),educational level(χ^(2)=4.726,p=0.021)and the constraints access to ICTs for agricultural information.Scaling up the ICTs infrastructure base around farming clusters and capacity building like training on ICTs to access agricultural information retrieval is advocated for women farmers.
  • 摘要：The governments across the developing countries are facing a challenge of steadily increasing population,maintaining balance in demand and supply of food and upliftment in socio-economic status of farming community.Among the leading developing countries,India has successfully increased agricultural crop production by fourfold,thus having at most potential for adoption of secondary agriculture practices after harvest of farm produce.Post-harvest processing of agricultural produce like milling of cereals and pulses,extraction of oil from oilseed crops,development of value added ready to eat and ready to serve food product etc.not only facilitate efficient utilization of crop produce but also check losses fetching better returns to the farmers/entrepreneurs.Post-harvest processing operations at the production catchment area helps in minimizing post harvest losses,helps in generating employment opportunities in rural areas,purity assured products in turn open window for the developed products to qualify for wider market.
  • 摘要：Evaluation and demonstration study was conducted at Kemo-Gerbi kebele of Adami Tulu Jidokombolcha district on two to three year old Borana bulls with the objectives of evaluation and demonstration of bulls fattening technologies at on-farm level.One farmer’s research extension group(FREG)was formed for fattening the bulls.Twenty bulls were purchased from Borana zone by farmers for the fattening trials.Two feeding treatments(T1=crushed maize grain(20%)+wheat bran(45%)+35%Noug cake and T2=wheat bran(65%)+cotton seed cake(35%))were evaluated at on-farm.Eight hour grazing was common for both treatments.The animals were randomly assigned for dietary rations and data on live weight change of the animals were taken using weight chart tape(developed by JICA project).Finishing weights,total weight gain and daily weight gain of the bulls were not different(P>0.05)between the treatments.Bulls fed on treatment one attained an average daily weight gain of 0.83 kg per bull;while bulls fed on treatment two gained 0.76 kg per bull per day.Total gross margin of treatment one(53,154.5 ETB)was higher than treatment two(49,467.75 ETB).Cost-benefit analysis showed that feeding option number one(T1)is more profitable than feeding option number two(T2).However,fatteners can use any of the feeding options depending on availability of the ingredients in their area.
