Study on the Degradation of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon (TPH) by Water Hyacinth Co-composts
Abstract: AbstractThis study was carried out to investigate the rate of total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) by water hyacinth co-compost at the Teaching and Research Farm, Faculty of Agriculture, Delta State University (DELSU), Asaba Campus. Five (5) kg of soils was collected from the school farm and measured into eighty-four (84) experimental pots and the treatments were arranged in 4×7 factorial experiment in a completely randomized design replicated three (03) times. The …

Water Hyacinth-Derived Biopolymers as Reinforcements for Sustainable Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites
Abstract: Composting has gained significant attention for sustainable waste management and nutrient recycling. This study investigated the efficacy of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) as a composting material to produce nutrient-rich organic fertilizer. Water hyacinth compost inoculated with nitrogen-fixing (Azotobacter chroococcum) and phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (Pseudomonas putida) exhibited increased nitrogen and phosphorus content compared to uninoculated compost or cattle dung compost. Wheat grown with biofertilizer-enriched water hyacinth compost displayed significantly improved grain yield, …

Development of Organic Seeds under Inhana Rational Farming (IRF) Technology—A Case Study from Canning Block Seed Farm, 24 Parganas (S), West Bengal
Abstract: Availability of good quality seed is one of the major constraints for sustainable agriculture in India. Especially in pretext of climate change mitigation, relevance of organic seed is immense. In this respect, organic seed development has been undertaken jointly by Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya (BCKV) and Inhana Organic Research Foundation (IORF), Kolkata, India in Canning Block Seed Farm under coastal saline ecosystem with adoption of Inhana Rational Farming (IRF) Technology—A …
