This paper reports the vermicomposting of food industry sludges (FIS) mixed with different organic wastes employing Eisenia fetida. A total of 10 vermicomposting units containing different wastes combinations were established. After 15 weeks significant increase in total nitrogen (N(total)) (60-214%), total available phosphorous (P(avail)) (35.8-69.6%), total sodium (Na(total)) (39-95%), and to...

This experiment target measuring soil properties (pH, EC and OC), nutrient (N, P, K S) the correlation study between availability. Six different locations in Havalbag block, Almora district of Uttarakhand, were sampled for (0-15cm depth). Nitrogen, Phosphorous, Potassium Sulphur examined using known conventional methods. Available Nitrogen was by alkaline KMnO4 method, extractable available CaC...

Soil nutrients, including soil available potassium (SAK), phosphorous (SAP), and organic matter (SOM), play an important role in farmland productivity, food security, agricultural management. Spectroscopic analysis has proven to be a rapid, nondestructive, effective technique for predicting properties general potassium, phosphorous, particular. However, the successful estimation of nutrient con...

In the present study the effect of sewage water and canal water irrigation were compared by their physicochemical properties and heavy metals concentration in soil. The mean values of different physico-chemical parameters and heavy metals were : Bulk density (gm/cm) 1.26, Water holding capacity(%)-53.60, Temperature(oC)-16.33, Electrical conductivity (dsm-1)0.122, pH-7.5, Organic carbon (%)-1.9...

Potassium is among the three essential macronutrients for tea plants, along with nitrogen and phosphorous, plays important roles in growth stress response. absorbed by plants larger amounts than any other mineral element except and, some cases, calcium. At present, more 59% of China’s gardens are a state potassium deficiency, which negatively affects quality yield. This paper reviews effects de...
