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: Globally, organic waste is a significant environmental problem in many regions of the world. The present study aimed to compare vermicompost and town refuse applications for the growth promotion of onion and leek plants, phosphorus uptake, and microbial biomass in soil under calcareous soil conditions. Method: The top 30 centimeters of the soil were […]
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: Sorghum is relatively tolerant of being planted on suboptimal and relatively dry soil. Still, it requires sufficient water and effort to improve soil properties for optimal growth and yield. Therefore, we studied the effect of providing several doses of chicken manure (CM) combined with the amount and frequency of water application on the growth […]
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: The transformation of Organic Waste through composting has become a source of organic matter that, through microbial action, generates molecules conducive to phosphate solubilization and produces fractions of Po and Pi readily available for plants. For this reason, this review focused on analyzing various research studies where Organic Waste is utilized to release available […]
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: Improper sugarcane trash management, like burning or haphazard disposal, causes environmental pollution. Composting offers a sustainable solution in tropical environments, but challenges arise from its high C/N ratio and lignocellulose content, leading to longer processing times and nutrient deficiencies. This study evaluates co-composting sugarcane trash with indigenous materials to enhance efficiency and nutrient content, […]
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: Achievements in biotechnology have paved the way for the efficient utilization of agricultural and industrial waste, presenting potential opportunities for sustainability and resource optimization. One such waste that has been studied is coffee silverskin (CS), the only waste generated during the coffee roasting process. This paper aims to analyze the potential of CS for […]
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 […]
