As demands for more controlled manure management heighten, policy makers seek indicators to assess the environmental impacts of livestock production and to subsequently direct manure management policy. Farm size indicators, based on number of animals per farm, are currently used to target federal manure management policy (USDA-USEPA, 1999). In this way, federal policy is directed toward the nat...

The study was conducted to determine the interactive effects of biochar application in combination with farm yard manure (FYM) and nitrogen (N) fertilizer on soil organic matter (SOM) and mineral nitrogen at Agricultural Research Farm of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Agricultural University Peshawar in 2010-2011. Soil samples at 0-15 cm depth were collected from maize and mungbean plots at harvest stage (...

The field experiment was carried out at central research farm of Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj during kharif season year 2022. comprised 9 treatments with three level NPK FYM in factorial randomized block design. treatment T9 has shown the significant results when applied 100% among different levels combinations. Soil p...

Many measures have been proposed to mitigate gaseous emissions and other nutrient losses from agroecosystems, which can have large detrimental effects for the quality of soils, water and air, and contribute to eutrophication and global warming. Due to complexities in farm management, biological interactions and emission measurements, most experiments focus on analysis of short-term effects of i...

A pot culture experiment was conducted at the Department of Agronomy, Madras Veterinary College, Tamil Nadu and Animal Sciences University, Chennai, to study effect irrigation water nutrients on yield nutrient uptake fodder cowpea. The consisted two factors with three four treatments respectively. results indicated that application sewage along recommended dose farm yard manure inorganic enhanc...

A field experiment was carried out during 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 seasons in Agriculture farm, Sebha University, Libya to study the response of some safflower varieties(S , Giza and Dem ) to fertilization by 350 1 137 farm yard manure (FYM) combination with mineral nitrogen fertilizers (0 ton FYM+105 kg N, 1.538 ton FYM +95kgN, 3.076 ton FYM +85 kg N, 4.614 ton FYM + 75 kg N, 6.152 ton FYM + 65...

Agroecological farming is considered to be among the suitable approach toward sustainable food systems and environmental conservation. Characteristically agroecology at low cost as it does not depend on expensive external inputs. Similar other forms of more agriculture, implementation its practices generally low. There scant information regarding causes for implementation. This paper, therefore...

The present investigation was laid out in Completely Randomized design (CRD) with nine treatments and each replicated thrice. treatment T2 i.e., Soil + Sand Perlite Farm yard manure 1:1:1:1) reported significantly better Performance terms of Growth parameters like plant height (60.50 cm), Number leaves per (64.00), spread (27.80 leaf length (7.60 cm); Flowering days to first flower bud appearan...

Thirty-eight Aerococcus viridans isolates were obtained from milk from 478 cows with clinical mastitis in a farm during the periods between November 2011 and February 2012, and between December 2012 and March 2013. Additional isolates were obtained from processed manure (a mixture of composted manure, straw and hydrated lime) and bedding materials. The processed manure was later used to cover t...
