PLANT SOIL INTERFACE AND CLIMATE CHANGE CARBON SEQUESTRATION FROM THE PRODUCTION PERSPECTIVE

The restoration of soil quality through carbon sequestration is major concern for tropical soils. The accelerated decomposition of soil organic carbon due to agriculture resulting in loss of carbon to the atmosphere and its contribution to the greenhouse effect is a serious global problem.

AESA based IPM emphasizes on plant compensation ability, abiotic factors and Pest: Defender (P:D) ratio. Through FFS (Farmer Field School) participants observe and monitor all elements of the agro-ecosystem on farm and learn how to make management decisions in order to minimize the effects of advers[r]

Plant growth promoting bacteria has become of great interest to promote the crop growth and protect from phytopathogens. Total of 100 bacterial isolates were obtained form 45 different samples of rhizosphere soil as well as sugarcane parts. After extensive screening, eight isolates found as potentia[r]

Oats are grown for use as grain as well as forage and fodder, straw for bedding, hay, haylage, silage and chaff. The study was conducted at different villages of Tonk district of Rajasthan. The seed of Kent variety of Oat were provided from Central Sheep and Wool Research Institute, Avikanagar, Tonk[r]

was enhanced. The root concentration increase was ap-parently due to the increase of bioavailable Cr in soil.The Cr-chelator compound may have dierent physio-chemical properties as compared with Cd- and Ni-complexes, therefore, it could not be translocated toshoot[r]

One of the largest sinks of organic carbon on the global scale is the organic matter stored in soils, it contains about 1500 Gt C in the top one meter. Changes in the size and the turnover rate of the soil carbon pools could possibly have an effect on the atmospheric CO2 concentration and the global[r]

Soil samples were collected from various dumping sites of five (5) districts i.e. Solan, Bilaspur, Hamirpur, Mandi and Kangra of Himachal Pradesh. The soil samples were used for isolation of plastic degrading microorganism on M9 media enriched with Polyethylene glycol as sole carbon source.

Reduced coral cover and species composition following coral bleaching events affect coral reef fishcommunity structure, with variable outcomes depending on their habitat dependence and trophic specialisation. Ocean acidification itself impacts fish mainly indirectly through disruption of[r]

The present investigation aims to explore potential of phyllospheric isolates on pearlmillet. Bacteria from leaves were isolated and tested for their plant growth promoting traits i.e., siderophore production, indole acetic acid, ammonia production and zinc solubilization.

A field experiment was conducted at Research Farm, Centre for Agroforestry Forage Crops and Green Belt, S. D. Agricultural University, Sardarkrushinagar, (Gujarat) in a randomized block design during the Rabi season of 2010-11.

Recently, climate change and its effects have been significantly influenced by human life. Human activities, mostly from urbanization, are the main contributors to the pollution of soil, water, and air, which has been proven by several observations and studies. However, it is necessary to raise awar[r]

capacity from wind energy. Operating experience has thusfar been mainly positive and supports further development,which presently is taking place, in particular in GreatBritain, Denmark, the Netherlands and Sweden.As with any new technology, there were also setbacks.In mi[r]

This present study compares the characteristics of biochars produced by slow pyrolysis at 400-450°C for the biological substrates namely, Coccus nucifera shells (CNS) and Prosopis glandulosa hard wood (PGH). Biochar yield of the biomass substrates varied from 25-28 %. C/N ratio and Cation Exchange C[r]

Plant growth and development are adversely affected by salinity- a major environmental stress that limits agricultural production. Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is sensitive to salinity that affects its yield and there is need to identify the tolerant genotypes. In order to evaluate the effect of so[r]

A study was carried out to assess the available nutrient status in soils of Kumbhi block under Lakhimpur (Kheri) district (U.P.). In that context 60 soil samples were collected from the different locations of Kumbhi block. Collected soil samples taken for laboratory analysis and analyzed the physico[r]

For perennial cash crops like orange having a long production period and with revenue being realised throughout the life of the plant, the optimum replacement period is the year when the amortized present value of Accumulated Net Revenue (ANR) from the incoming plantation just exceeds the anticipate[r]

Soil fertility evaluation of an Agricultural field is an important aspect in context of sustainable agricultural production. The macro and micro nutrients govern fertility of soils and control the growth yield of crops. The main aim of this study was to evaluate soil fertility status from Kanchanpur[r]

Soil properties are sensitive to changes in the soil environment as influenced by vegetation, climate and inputs and losses of biomass and nutrients. Thus, the cropping systems with different management practices are likely to influence soil properties. Grid based soil survey was conducted in Mudhol[r]
