This study aims to assess the impact of Covid-19 lockdown on agricultural crop production in India and identify factors affecting during period. Due pandemic, Rabi crops such as Jowar coarse cereals have declined, growth rate Kharif Bajra also been dropped. Among horticulture crops, fruit has adversely affected by restrictions imposed lockdown. The fertilizer consumption, annual rainfall, pesti...

Both organic and conventional farming processes require energy input in the form of diesel fuel for farming equipment, animal feed, and fertilizer compounds. The most significant difference between the two methods is the use in conventional farming of mineral fertilizers and pesticides that are minimally employed in organic management. It is argued that organic farming is more environmentally f...

changes in the 1980s. Droughts and water regulations required increased use of lowvolume irrigation, severe freezes promoted the use of fabric covers for cold protection, and governmental immigration reform necessitated re-evaluation of personnel resources. Production practices were required that used smaller quantities of fertilizer and pesticides. Additional restrictions limited the disposal ...

Chemical Cocktails Are Mixed Pesticides More Potent? Increasing evidence suggests that environmental chemicals that interact with the endocrine system harm the health of humans and animals. More recent studies suggest further that these chemicals act synergistically, meaning that their combined effect is greater than the sum of their individual effects. While few scientists doubt that endocrine...

Because rice feeds half of the world's population, a secure global food supply depends on sustainable rice production. Here we test whether the co-cultivation of rice and fish into one "rice-fish system" (RFS; fish refers to aquatic animals in this article) could help sustain rice production. We examined intensive and traditional RFSs that have been widely practiced in China. We found that rice...

Apple cultivation in Japan typically involves the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides which can damage environment. Therefore, this study we investigated orchard soil biochemical characteristics as well fruit nutrient contents, pesticide residues apples grown either organically (organic + reduced pesticides) or with conventional rates. Compared fertilizer treatment, organic treatment pro...
