Effect of Nano-fertilizers on Nutrient-Use Efficiency in Finger Millet (Eleusine coracana L.): A Critical Review
PR Meena
Abstract: The customary employing of fertilizers seems to be extremely inefficient. This means that a large part of nitrogen and phosphorus that is applied is lost during the process of volatilization, leaching, runoff, or soil fixing. Because of this, nitrogen use efficiency for cereals is les...
Allelopathic Influence of Nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus L.) on Crop Growth: A Review
Rahul Singh, Priya Rani
Abstract: Cyperus rotundus L., commonly known as purple nutsedge, has been regarded as the most problematic weed in the world since infested plants can result in losses above 80% in the yield of crops. Purple nutsedge competes for the same nutrients, water, and light with crops, while also rele...
Influence of Conservation Agriculture on Soil Carbon and Yield of Berseem (Trifolium alexandrinum L.): A Review
Dr. Tata Ram Kumar
Abstract: Introduction: Berseem (Trifolium alexandrinum L.), also known as Egyptian clover, is considered the major winter (rabi) forage legume crop in the region of Indian subcontinent, Nile Valley, and Mediterranean Basin owing to its high biomass production, capability of producing several r...
Screening of Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) Genotypes for Drought-Tolerance Indices: A Comprehensive Review
Dr. Rajesh Singh
Abstract: Background: Cotton is an important fiber crop in the world and its yield is affected by the occurrence of constant drought due to climate change. Cotton is usually grown in rainfed or watered lands, thus making it very important to look for varieties that can give high yield in drough...
Influence of Sowing Window on Phenology and Yield of Linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.)
Dr. Peter M Williams, Dr. Sarah J Green
Abstract: Overview: Linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) is the sixth-largest oilseed produced worldwide and a crucial rabi oilseed for the oil it contains rich in α-linolenic acid along with protein of high quality and industrial fiber. Linseed is a cool-season crop having its optimum temper...
Agronomic Strategies for Heat-Stress Mitigation in Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.)
Dr. Aditya Chatterjee, Dr. Akash Srivastava
Abstract: Context: Although the safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) is known as a highly significant oilseed crop and its potential as a crop may not have been fully explored but it is still significant due to its high tolerance to drought, its adaptability to saline soil, and its robust root s...
Evaluation of Green Manuring with Sesbania aculeata on Nitrogen Economy in Cropping Systems
Camila Fernanda Santos, Rafael Henrique Oliveira
Abstract: Background: Sesbania aculeata is a species of tree native to Africa and Asia commonly known as dhaincha or jantar. Due to its quick growth and ability to fix nitrogen biologically, Sesbania aculeata is crucial in crop rotations, especially in rice agriculture. Moreover, as prices of s...
Effect of Deficit Irrigation on Water-Use Efficiency of Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.)
Isabella Claire Hayes
Abstract: Background: Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L) is a long-duration and high biomass C4 crop, which is the main sugar-producing crop in the world and an increasingly important feedstock for bioenergy purposes, but it is one of the most water-consuming crops because it requires between ...
Nano-Fertilizer–Mediated Modulation of Rhizosphere Nutrient Flux and Root Ion Transport Dynamics in Cereals Under Nutrient-Limited Soils
Qing Hua Xu, Yan Ling Zhou
Abstract: Overview: The three cereal crops of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), maize (Zea mays L.), and rice (Oryza sativa L.) form the backbone of food security at a global level. However, global productivity of these crops is limited by their intrinsic low efficiency of nutrient use due to the t...
Mechanistic Insights into Nano-Urea Efficiency: Coupling Nitrogen Uptake Kinetics with Chlorophyll Fluorescence Responses in Field Crops
Meera Anjali Malhotra, Rohan Deepak Krishanan, Divya Suresh Nair
Abstract: Background: Nitrogen (N) is the most important limiting nutrient in cereal cropping systems, but standard urea fertilizer’s nitrogen uses efficiency (NUE) seldom surpasses 30-40%, causing huge economic losses and environmental problems from its volatilization and leaching as wel...
