Upregulate Soil Health and Wheat Yield: Conversion of Organic Waste into Bioactivated Zn-Enriched Compost for Deficient Soils

by Naeem M. Iqbal Z. Hussain A. Jamil M. Ahmad H.T. Ismail A.M. El-Mogy M. El Ganainy S. El-Beltagi H. Hadid M.L.

Solid Waste Management

Soil zinc (Zn) deficiency is a major constraint limiting wheat productivity and nutritional quality, particularly in degraded agricultural lands. Sustainable organic waste management through composting presents an eco-friendly approach to enhancing soil health while mitigating environmental...

Water and wastewater treatment and reuse

Mungbean is a key leguminous crop species highly regarded for its nutritious properties. However, soil salinity greatly reduced its growth and yield. Our study investigated whether applying exogenous nitrogen (N) (ammonium nitrate; AN) could improve salinity tolerance in mungbean seedlings by...

Effectiveness of corn stalk biochar in amending the contaminated soil attributes and enhancing the sustainable grass growth

by

Ditta A. et al. View all

Issue 1

Environmental management and policy

It is important to rapidly amend the hostile rural soil fertility and quality to develop green land verdure. In this research, cornstalk-derived biochar was added (sequence proportions 0, 1, 5, 10, 20, and 50 % in the mass ratio) into hostile rural soil and then the grass was grown in the pots. The...

CEST2017 - Heavy metals in the environment

Application of municipal sewage sludge (MSS) to agricultural soils is a current practice in EU. European legislation permits its use in agriculture when concentrations of metals in soil do not exceed the maximum permissible limits. In order to study the influence of MSS on cotton yield and soil...

by

Richa Amina et al. View all

Issue 4

Hydrology and Water Resources Management

The present study associates groundwater nitrate pollution with agricultural activity in the Upper-Cheliff wich is known for intensive farming practices. The indicatory kriging method is used in order to elaborate a map of the spatial probability distribution of nitrate concentration that exceeds a...

Removal of ammonia by clinoptilolite

by

Zabochnicka-Swiatek M. and Malinska K.

Issue 3

General

The important advantage of zeolite applied to water treatment is its high porosity when comparing to other minerals. The porosity results in good hydrodynamic properties (the increase in the pressure loss on the zeolite filters is 1.5-2.0 times smaller than in the case of sand filters) and...

Denitrification as a component of Nitrogen Budget in a Tropical Paddy Field

by

Pathak B.K., Iida T. and Kazama F.

Issue 2

General

The direct assessment of denitrification suffers from a number of problems. A mass balance model is simple and widely accepted to calculate nitrogen (N) loss as a denitrification component. The objective of study was to estimate the potential N loss a denitrification from a tropical paddy in the...
