Many scientists view that Biochar is considered the Black Gold of Agriculture Biochar is a hard fabric obtained from the carbonization thermochemical conversion of biomass in an oxygen limited environments. In more technical terms, biochar is produced by thermal decomposition…
After nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) is the second plant nutrient most widely deficient both in normal (82 – 90 %) and salt-affected soils (93 %) of Punjab. Therefore, the plant demand is replenished through fertilization but efficiency (recovery by the…
Different types of fertilizers, such as chemical fertilizers, organic fertilizers, and natural fertilizers are available on the market. The type of fertilizer you use has a large impact on the quality of your product. Farmers all over the world use…
Organic farming is found to be more favorable for farmer. Production of crops without use of the chemical fertilizer and pesticide is called organic farming. In this method of cropping anything which is naturally available can be utilized other then…
