  • Impact of tillage and fertilizer management on Soybean-Cotton rotation system: effects on yield, plant nutrient uptake, and soil fertility for sustainable agriculture

    Scientific Reports, 2025
    Agricultural productivity in semiarid regions is challenged by low soil fertility, limited water availability, and unsustainable farming practices. Semiarid vertisols, commonly found in such regions, require efficient management practices to maintain long-term soil health and optimize crop yields. This study aimed to evaluate the sustainability of yield, rainwater use efficiency (RWUE), and monetary returns in a crop rotation system involving soybean and cotton under semiarid vertisols over a 10-year period (2011-2020). Fifteen treatment combinations of tillage and fertilizer were applied, with tillage treatments consisting of conventional tillage, reduced tillage with interculture, and reduced tillage with herbicide plus one interculture. Fertilizer treatments included farmyard manure (FYM) at 5 t/ha, vermicompost at 3 t/ha, 50% recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF) with FYM at 2.5 t/ha, 50% RDF with vermicompost at 1.5 t/ha, and 100% RDF (inorganic). The objective was to assess the impact of these treatments on crop yield, rainwater use efficiency (RWUE), and soil fertility. The soybean equivalent yield (SEY) ranged from 2155 kg/ha (T3 N2) to 2727 kg/ha (T1 N5), with an overall mean of 2406 kg/ha and a coefficient of variation (CV) of 6.5% indicating consistent performance of treatments over time where the yield variability was relatively low. RWUE varied from 2.96 kg/ha·mm (T3 N2) to 3.80 kg/ha·mm (T1 N5), with a mean of 3.34 kg/ha·mm (CV = 7.5%). Statistical analysis revealed significant differences in SEY and RWUE due to tillage and fertilizer treatments. Such as, T1 N5 (100% RDF with vermicompost) consistently produced the highest soybean equivalent yield and rainwater use efficiency, indicating that this treatment was more effective than others in promoting crop growth and water utilization. Principal component analysis (PCA) explained 88.19% of the variance in plant and soil considering the influencing significance parameters (soil organic carbon, nitrogen content and microbial biomass) which are positively correlated with higher yields and better water use efficiency. The treatment T1 N5 (100% RDF with vermicompost) produced the highest mean SEY (2727 kg/ha), sustainability yield index (SYI) of 66.5%, benefit-cost ratio of 3.20, and RWUE of 3.80 kg/ha·mm. This treatment also improved soil fertility over the study period, with soil organic carbon increasing by 15% and microbial biomass carbon by 20% under the T1 N5 treatment, reflecting the positive impact of combined organic and inorganic nutrient management. Based on these findings, adopting T1 N5 can be recommended to enhance soybean equivalent yield, maximize monetary returns, optimize rainwater use, and preserve soil fertility in semiarid vertisols. Further studies could focus on the long-term environmental impacts of these practices, including soil carbon sequestration and the potential for adapting these treatments to other semiarid regions with varying soil types.

    Antimicrobial Resistance in Agriculture and Its Consequences, 2024
    The extensive use of antibiotics in agriculture has escalated with the increasing demand for food by the world’s rising population; the use of antibiotics has pros and cons. As bacteria become resistant to traditional antibiotics, newly discovered antibiotics were used to combat emerging infections. This, in turn, led to increased resistance in bacteria, resulting in a dramatic and ever-increasing war and race between bacteria and new antimicrobials developed by pharmaceutical corporations. Sadly for human health, germs adapt considerably more swiftly and cheaply than pharmaceutical corporations, and as a result, we are losing the race. Several emerging diseases are resistant to almost all antimicrobials. Antimicrobials are the foundations of modern medicine and have made significant contributions to the advancement of healthcare over the last half century. As a result, the ongoing trends in AMR must be reversed or we shall return to the dark ages of medicine. Antibiotic resistance is a naturally occurring mechanism that can be reduced but not totally eliminated because resistance is an unavoidable result of antibiotic selection pressure. The negative impacts of antibiotics have been associated with severe health hazards in humans and animals and induce antibiotic resistance among the vast range of plant pathogenic microbes. The antimicrobial resistant microbes cause massive losses to crop yield and productivity. Apart from the health issue for humans, the resistant microbe escalates elements of agrarian distress in agricultural-dependent countries, like poverty, rise in agricultural input cost, reduced productivity, uncontrol plant diseases, etc. The chapter deals with the grief caused by the application of antibiotics in the agricultural system.
  • Use of Ganoderma lucidum extract to elevate the resistance in chickpea against the Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris

    Archives of Phytopathology and Plant Protection, 2023
    Biological based formulation for inducing systematic resistance in the crop is a sustainable measure to control plant disease by utilizing the natural defence system of the host plant and meet the strategic needs of pesticide application for agricultural products worldwide. The crude extract of Ganoderma lucidum was used to induce systematic resistant in the chickpeas against the Fusarium wilt caused by soil-borne fungus Fusarium oxysporum (Schletend: Fr) f. sp. ciceri (Padwick) (FOC). The formulation was made using a crude extract of Ganoderma lucidum and an emulsion (water in oil: W/O); different dilutions of the formulation were made and applied to the chickpea and then challenged with the FOC. After the incubation with FOC, the chickpea was assayed for the enzyme involved in Phenylpropanoid pathways, i.e. Peroxidase (PO), Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL). The activity levels of these enzymes were changed in chickpea treated with the formulations as compared to the control (water treated chickpea). The GC-MS analysis confirmed bioactive compounds responsible for the enhanced level of enzyme in chickpea. The findings of the study would lead to the development of a bio-formulation based inducer of resistance molecules in the chickpea against the Fusarium wilt.
  • Effects of Different Compost on Vegetative and Yield Performance of Pea

    Communications in Soil Science and Plant Analysis, 2022
    The present study deals with the effects of Biosolid (animal manure), Spent Mushroom Compost (SMC), and Leaf Compost on the vegetative growth and yield of pea (Pisum sativum L.). We have examined the physicochemical properties and fungal flora of soil (control) and different composts (amendments). The composts (amendments) were taken in four concentrations, i.e., 25, 50, 75, and 100%, along with complete loam soil as a control. The result reveals the differential response of compost (amendments), showing that Biosolid gives a higher yield at 25%, whereas SMC with 50% and Leaf compost best results at 75% concentrations, respectively. The other parameters of the test plant, such as height, numbers of leaflets, numbers of pods, 100 seeds weight, are found in accordance with respective yields in all the amendments. However, SMC found better fertilizers compared to other test organic substances.
