Urban agriculture to enhance a city from a sustainability point of view
Abstract: As we all know, 70 percent of rural households still depend primarily on agriculture. The core activity of rural areas is agriculture still now. The proportion of the rural population declined from 72.19% to 68.84%, which in turn tells that population in urban areas is increasing day by day. But the sad truth is, this mass level of the population depends on rural areas for the food source. “Urban agriculture: …

Studies on Batch Leaching of Excess Salt from Agricultural Soil
Abstract: This paper discusses about the experimentation on leaching of salt from agricultural soil. The leaching behavior of agricultural soil is studied for the recovery of salt. The main aim of leaching of salt from agricultural soil is to remove the salt from agricultural soil as the presence of salt in soil affects the soil fertility and causes 'structural breakdown' in grains. Hence this process is used to remove excess salts …

Recent Trend of Bio-Fungicide and Pesticide in Agriculture
Abstract: Biopesticides, which are commonly employed to combat harmful phytopathogens, are derived products made from living microbes, including plants, animals, fungi, bacteria, viruses, and minerals, as well as their bioproducts. In contrast to synthetic fungicides, the use of biopesticides in agricultural fields is a more cost-effective, environmentally safe, and target-specific method due to their biodegradability and environmental safety. Trichoderma spp.-based biofungicides are currently regarded as the most promising and dominant commercial …
