The experiment was conducted at the Vegetable Research Farm of Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, using treatments involving different combinations...

The pot experiment carried out at Institute of Agricultural Sciences, B.H.U. with eleven treatments consisting of control, 100 per cent recommended dose of NPK fertilizers (100% RDF), 100 per cent RDF + FYM @ 5 t ha-1 , 75 per cent RDF + 4t ordinary compost, 75 per cent RDF + 6t ordinary compost, 75 per cent RDF + 4t enriched compost, 75 per cent R...

A field experiment was conducted at Agronomy Research Farm, Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Kumarganj, Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, on silty loam soil during 2016–17 and 2017–18 to study the productivity and profitability of rice (Oryza sativa L.) influenced by customized fertilizers in rice-wheat cropping system. The exp...

The field experiments conducted at the Student's Instructional Farm, Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur, during the rabi season of 2021-22 aimed to investigate the impact of phosphorus and zinc on both yield and quality parameters of chickpea. Employing a factorial randomized block design with 16 treatment combina...

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the staple food of more than 60 percent of the world’s population and is considered the “global grain”. It is the main staple food in the Asia and the Pacific region. This study was conducted to ascertain the Impact of Various Treatment Combinations on the Nutrient Uptake of rice grains and straw. The field experiments wer...

Millions of people all over the world rely heavily on agriculture, which provides food to nearly two-thirds of the population. On the other hand, the rate of population growth in the world has been concerning for the past two to three decades. Hence, there is pressure on the agricultural sector to increase food production at this speed. Furthermore...

Beneficial microorganisms that may release nutrients from raw materials and plant leftovers in the soil are the fundamental component of biofertilizers. Particular strains are utilized as biological fertilizers. The microorganisms in bio-fertilizer encourage an appropriate supply of nutrients to the host plants and ensure their healthy growth and p...

A field experiment was conducted during kharif season 2022-23 at student's instructional farm, Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur (U.P.). The present experiment having 9 treatment combinations replicated thrice in randomized block design, Rice variety CSR-36 was grown with growth, yield, yield attributing characte...

A field experiment was conducted during the Rabi seasons, on the effects of Sulphur and Magnesium on the yield and yield attributes of wheat crops in the central plains zone of UP. The result showed that the application of sulphur and magnesium with the recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF) increased the growth parameters i.e. plant height, number o...

During the Rabi season of 2021-22, a field trial was carried out in micro plots within the 'pot culture house' at the Department of Soil Science & Agricultural Chemistry, Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture and Technology in Kanpur. The study involved nine treatment combinations arranged in a randomized block design with three replicatio...

Monocropping in the Eastern Gangetic Plains poses serious challenges, including declining farm profits, soil health susceptibility to climate change, and heightened concerns about food insecurity, rendering the agricultural production system unsustainable. To address these issues, a two-year study was conducted from 2019 to 2021 at the Agronomy Far...

Due to factors including biodiversity loss, land degradation, and climate change, soil is becoming one of the most vulnerable resources on the planet. Resolving the degradation of land and soil is a fundamental task for sustainable development. Climate change- related sustainable land and soil management. It offers technical expertise on the pr...

Due to growing anthropogenic activity on energy resources, exploitative farming methods, and faster rate of industrialization, environmental contamination has escalated over the past few decades. One of the biggest concerns for everyone is contamination of soil since it can harm humans through the consumption of food grown in polluted soil or it ca...

Recovering soil nutrients has become essential to preserving soil fertility. Soil contamination is a result of the use of certain organic and inorganic compounds in industrial and agricultural systems. The ability to create vermicomposting technology to break down specific organic and inorganic wastes in soils has been made possible by advancem...

A collection of interconnected agro-economic activities that interact in a specific agricultural environment is known as an integrated farming system (IFS). The primary goals are to reduce risks and boost revenue. Approximately 90–95 percent of the nutrients needed are met by recycling resources, which lowers cultivation costs and boosts employ...

Throughout the last few decades, scientists' concentration has been on the creation of biosensors. In addition to being used in other commonplace applications, biosensors can function as extremely effective, low-cost devices for this purpose. A biosensor comprises primarily of these two components: a transducer in addition to a bioreceptor. A biolo...

A field experiment was conducted during Rabi season of 2021-2022 at Students' Instructional Farm (S.I.F.) of Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh to evaluate the effect of biofortification with zinc and iron on growth parameters, yield attributes and yield of Barley. The present experiment having 16 t...

The present field experiments were conducted on studies effect of phosphorus and zinc on yield and quality parameters of chickpeas taken up at Student's Instructional Farm, at Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur, (U.P.) India, during the rabi season 2021-22. The experiment consists of 16 treatment combinations in a...

The continuous cultivation of rice has resulted in a decline in soil quality, posing a serious threat to agricultural sustainability. In response, efforts are being made to promote crop diversification by introducing a variety of crop types to restore soil health. A field experiment spanning from 2017 to 2019 at the Agronomy Research Farm in Ayodhy...
