Purpose: GIDI organic fertilizer or water hyacinth is an aquatic plant, an excellent depollutant, and is helpful for food production as compost and regeneration of degraded soil. Maintaining its fertility and maintaining the ecological balance of the environment. The study aimed to evaluate the influence of different rates of GIDI organic fertilizer on the yield […]
Purpose: Composting process can be accelerated by seeding microbial consortium into compost of plant residues and livestock manure mixture. The consortium could also be sourced from decomposing sawdust due to extensive microbial activity. This study investigated the effect of decomposing sawdust as an inoculant on the microbial and physicochemical properties of sawdust-chicken manure compost. Method: […]
Propose: In this study, vermicomposted corn waste was applied to the organic cultivation of cherry tomato seedlings under the edaphoclimatic conditions of the Brazilian semiarid region, and the effects were evaluated in the soil‒plant system. Method: The vermicomposts were prepared by mixing corn waste in an organic substrate. The experiment was divided into two parts: […]
Purpose: The quality of compost is a significant concern worldwide. This study aims to improve vermicompost quality through the utilization of enriched materials. Method: This research aimed to evaluate the impact of bonemeal and eggshell powder treatments on the quality of vermicompost derived from three waste varieties: cooked tea waste, vegetable waste, and mixed food […]
Purpose: The study investigated how selected tomato genotypes performed with combined applications of cocoa pod (CP) + poultry manure (PM), kola nut pod (KP) + poultry manure (PM), and NPK fertilizer, focusing on fruit yield, mineral content, and vitamin composition. Method: The trial was carried out at Landmark University Teaching and Research Farm, Omuaran, Nigeria […]
Purpose: The current investigation was conducted at the Vegetable Research Farm of the School of Agriculture, Lovely Professional University, Phagwara, Punjab. The aim of the study was to know the effect of different combinations of organic amendments along with biofertilizers on various horticultural, biochemicals, soil profiling traits and economics of radish cultivation. Method: The experiment […]
Purpose: This Systematic Literature Review (SLR) investigates the utilization of tuber crop skins, specifically from yam, potato, taro, and cassava as an underexplored resource in circular agriculture. The study aims to assess their multifaceted applications across sectors such as animal feed, bioenergy, material science, wastewater treatment, and food innovation, addressing the overarching research question of […]
Purpose: Although the popularity of liquid organic fertilizers (LOFs) has considerably increased recently, there have been concerns over their usage due to low nitrogen content. This study aims to discuss the current developments in nitrogen-enriched LOFs that address the above limitation, subsequently promoting sustainable agricultural practices. Method: A thorough review of existing literature on nitrogen-enriched […]
Purpose:To evaluate cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var botrytis) field performance in response to season, organic waste types, and rates; a cultivar (ATRIA 153F1) was grown for two years (2019 and 2020) under two different seasons (Rainy and Dry). This is to ascertain the effective season, type, and rate of organic waste for the promotion of sustainable […]
Purpose: Rice is the most important staple crop around the globe which has been prone to low productivity due to various abiotic factors. To address this challenge, we researched to describe the effect of biofertilizers on the morpho-physiology of rice seedlings in-vitro and in-vivo conditions under salt stress. Method: The effects of biofertilizers on the […]
Purpose: Biochar modified with metal oxides has proved high capacities in removing heavy metals in wastewater. There is a limited number of studies exploring the potential of Fe-Mn binary oxides-biochar adsorbents for several heavy metals removal from contaminated water; however, the adsorption behavior and mechanism for Pb2+ ions adsorbed on Fe-Mn binary oxide/ Eichhornia crassipes […]
Purpose: Foeniculum vulgare (fennel) is one of the most important medicinal and aromatic plants well known for its essential oil and fruit value. The research on adding vermicompost and sheep manure to the soil is an important area of applied agricultural research in sustainable development. The objective of our study was to compare the fixed and […]
