Conservation agriculture (CA) is based on principles of minimum soil disturbance through zero or minimum tillage operations, residue retention on soil surface and crop diversification which not only improves healthy functioning of soil but also enhances nutrient availability, its biological quality[r]

In this respect, soil FDA is an important indicator of soil microbial activity and biological health of soil. The aim of this research was to assess the effects of crop residue retention and P fertilization on FDA activity in soil.

A comprehensive study was conducted on the distribution of earthworms and soil analysis in the Polluted area of Palakkad district. There are some exotic and native peregrine species which has the inherent ability to withstand in disturbed habitats. Such earthworm species have high medicinal value du[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]

Despite the significant, empirically supported benefits of physical activity, the majority of breast cancer survivors do not meet recommended guidelines for physical activity.

The objective of present study was to screen and isolate protease producing bacteria from soil samples collected from rhizospheric soil of apple orchard from Kotkhai of Shimla District. Collected soil samples were serially diluted and 0.1ml of sample was spread on skim milk agar plates at 370C for 4[r]
