This study was conducted to evaluate the performance of black gram (Vigna mungo.L) grown under drought stress using coir waste manure and cow dung manure. Two varieties of black gram-ATD mash 3 and ATD mash 1 were the treatment variables. A best fit positive relationship existed between leaf chlorophyll and leaf nitrogen content with two organic manures. N, P and K accumulation in the two varie...

Phosphorus (P) in animal manure can be an important nutrient for crops or an environmental contaminant if in excess. Organic P in dairy manure may add to the environmentally bioactive P pools upon mineralization. A 353d incubation study of manures containing C:P between 83 and 130:1 was conducted to determine linkages between C and P transformations and the effects of C:P on the immobilization-...

Organic manures are rich source of nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, well micronutrients calcium, magnesium, sulfur, which essential for plants. It also contains organic matter that improves soil structure, water-holding capacity, aeration. The study focused on evaluating two types manures, i.e. Farmyard manure (FYM) vermicompost. Results showed vermicompost had higher nutr...

In 2010, the National Organic Program implemented a rule for the US stating that pasture must be a significant source of feed in organic ruminant systems. This article will focus on how the pasture rule has impacted the management, economics and nutritional value of products derived from organic ruminant systems and the interactions of grazing cattle with pasture forages and soils. The use of s...

Globally, there are a number of treatments indicated for the control of invasive alien plant species like parthenium. The production and use of vermicomposts from weeds or other wastes in agriculture is economical and eco-friendly. The unique advantage of using vermicomposting is that it helps to build and sustain soil condition and fertility for sustainable agricultural activities. The present...

application of organic manures is one of the most important strategies for plant nutrition compared to chemical fertilizers, especially in organic management of medicinal plants. in order to evaluate the effects of different organic and chemical fertilizers on yield, yield components and qualitative characteristics of isabgol (plantago ovata), a field experiment was conducted based on randomize...

15. Supplementary Notes Project conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration, the Texas Department of Transportation, and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (previously the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission). 16. Abstract TxDOT reports that composted manures have been used in 22 of the 25 TxDOT districts, usually wit...

Excessive salt rate can adversely influence the physical, chemical, and biological properties of soils, mainly in arid and semi-arid world regions. Therefore, salt-affected soils must be reclaimed to maintain satisfactory fertility levels for increasing food production. Different approaches have been suggested to solve these issues. This short review focuses on selected studies that have identi...
