Broadacre (arable) crops generally require a relatively higher nutrient input toward yield
targets. The efficient use of nutrients in arable farmlands is very vital to this endeavor. It …

Biological plant protection presents a promising and exciting alternative to chemical
methods for safeguarding plants against the increasing threats posed by plant diseases …

In this study, we investigated the bioavailability and toxicity of metals (Cu and Ni) in the soil
containing polyethylene microplastics (PE-MPs). The bioavailability of the metals …

Microplastics can alter the physicochemical and biogeochemical processes in soil, but
whether these alterations have further the effects on the transformation of soil heavy metal …

No-tillage systems and cover cropping can improve soil organic carbon (SOC), which
enhances soil health and sustainability. However, the interaction between tillage systems …

A few researchers have reported enhancing soil physicochemical properties and reducing
greenhouse gas emission using biochar-compost mixture as an alternative method to …

Phytoextraction is an in situ remediation technique that uses (hyper) accumulator plant
species to extract metal (loid) s from contaminated soils. Field studies can help in selecting …

Horticultural crop quality is an important aspect of agricultural production because it directly
influences customer preference, market value, and overall sustainability. Micronutrients are …

Zinc-solubilizing bacteria (ZSB) are potential and ideal substitutes for Zn supplement.
Currently, limited reports are available on the bacteria displaying capability to transform …

Unsustainable agricultural management practices such as non-conservationist tillage and
overuse of fertilizers result in soil acidity and, in turn, soil degradation due to reduced carbon …
