a consortium of biofertilizers (azotobacter chroococcum and bacillus subtilis) was applied in conventional as well as organic matrix entrapped granular forms as sole nutrient source in two different doses for cultivation of wheat (triticum aestivum l. cv. pbw-343). a double dose of conventional biofertilizers increased the growth of wheat plants as measured on 30, 60, 90, and 120 days after sow...

in the current study, a magnetic inorganic–organic nanohybrid material (hpa/tpi-fe3o4) was produced and used as an efficient, highly recyclable and eco-friendly catalyst for the one-pot and multicomponent synthesis of 3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2-amine, diazepine-tetrazole and benzodiazepine-2-carboxamide derivatives with high yields and in a short range of time (20–35 min). the nanohybrid catalyst ...

Organic farming provides many benefits in Indonesia: it can improve soil quality, food quality and soil carbon sequestration. This study was designed to compare soil carbon sequestration levels between conventional and organic rice farming fields in west Java, Indonesia. The results from soil analysis indicate that organic farming leads to soil with significantly higher soil carbon storage capa...

background and objectives: suitable tillage methods and planting cover crops are such factors in sustainable agricultural systems, which play an important role in the sustainability of agricultural production systems. minimum and no-tillage systems methods that leave instead of usually more than 30 percent of crop residue on the soil surface, are used to reduce soil erosion, improve soil physic...

Animal welfare legislation in the EU, i.e., the EU Directives for the protection of farm animals coming into force by 2013 the latest, and the EU Regulation on organic farming might lead to an increase in ammonia (NH3) emissions. A review of the available, although rather limited, literature reveals that animal-friendly housings systems, in line with welfare legislation, are not ammonia-neutral...
