Development of Polymer-based Mulch Films for Disease Suppression
Abstract: Gerbera jamesonii [Gerbera daisy) is a popular flowering plant susceptible to various microbial diseases. This paper explores disease control strategies for gerberas, focusing on the potential of novel polymer-based mulch films. Conventional mulching practices offer benefits in gerbera cultivation, including weed suppression that helps control pathogens. However, limitations associated with traditional mulch materials necessitate exploring alternative solutions. This study investigates the development of biodegradable polymer-based mulch films specifically designed for …

Effects of Mulching on Yield and Quality of Tomato Varieties
Abstract: AbstractA field experiment was conducted at the Regional Agricultural Research Station, Hathazari, Chittagong to study the effect of different mulch materials on the yield and quality of tomato. rice husk mulch was found superior to sawdust, garden leaves and black polyethylene mulch in producing higher yield of tomato. Higher number of fruits per plant and maximum yield was recorded with rice husk which was 17.93% higher than the control (without …

Performance of Wheat under Various Rice Residue Management Practices on Farmer Fields under South-Western Conditions of Punjab
Abstract: On farm trails were conducted during Rabi seasons of 2015–16, 2016–17, 2017–18 to evaluate the influence of different rice straw management practices on wheat productivity, yield attributes and soil fertility under south-western conditions of Punjab. Rice straw was managed by harvesting of crop using straw management system (SMS) fitted combines harvester then applied the treatment of happy seeder, mulcher, mould board plough, and zero tillage. Significant improvement in wheat productivity …

Microplastics in Terrestrial Ecosystems: Impacts on Soil Biodiversity, Plant Growth, and Nutrient Cycling
Abstract: Microplastics, defined as plastic particles smaller than 5 mm, have emerged as a widespread environmental contaminant in terrestrial ecosystems. Although their impacts in aquatic environments have received considerable attention, the occurrence and ecological consequences of microplastics in soil ecosystems are increasingly recognized as an important environmental concern. Agricultural practices, plastic mulching, sewage sludge application, wastewater irrigation, compost, atmospheric deposition, and the fragmentation of larger plastic materials are major pathways through …

Herbicide Resistance in Relation to Weed Management in Crops and Cropping Systems in Reference to North East: Review
Abstract: AbstractWeeds are one of the greatest limiting factors to efficient crop production. As a consequence of structural and financing problems the cultural condition of the soil deteriorates and weeds proliferate; many species are hard to kill. Therefore, for sustaining food grain production to feed ever-increasing population and ensuring food security, effective weed management is very essential. Despite advances in control technologies, weeds have retained their rank as the most damaging …
