Restoration of soil fertility of arable land is a great challenge in the developing and populous countries like India. The country witnessed the benefits Green Revolution Technologies (GRTs) in boosting of grain yield and the after effect of GRTs during past few decades in terms of deterioration of soil fertility and land degradation, loss of soil flora and fauna, genetic erosion, ecological unbalance, yield plateauing and associated insecurity in livelihood of the farmers. Now maintenance of soil fertility and sustainability of agriculture production are of important concerns. Green manuring can play an important role in this regard as it showed versatile impacts like improvement of soil physico-chemical and biological properties and fertility, nutrient supply to succeeding crops, checking erosion and plant protection. The previous research activities on various aspects of green manures were reviewed here in favour of evergreen agriculture for the future.

The present investigation entitled "Effect of foliar application of different nutrients on growth and yield of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under sodic soil" was carried out at main experiment station (MES) of

An experiment was laid out with six wheat genotypes K-9162, K910-30, DBW-16, AAI-16, K-911, and NW-1014. This study was conducted during winter season 2020-2021 at the Student Instructional Farm and in the laboratory of Plant Molecular Biology and Genetic Engineering at Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture & Technology, Kumarganj, Ayodhya –224 229 (U.P.) in Randomized Block Design (R.B.D.) The wheat genotypes were exposed to heat stress by delayed sowing of 60 days from the normal date of sowing (15 January 2021) so that reproductive stage of wheat can experience heat stress. The field preparation and normal agronomic practices were followed as per need of the crop. The wheat genotypes K-9162, K910-30 and K-911 showed less reduction in yield and yield components over the DBW-16, AAI-16 and NW-1014 wheat genotypes. Therefore, on the basis of less reduction in yield and yield components under heat stress, K-910-30, K-911 and K-9162 were showed the significant tolerant while the other genotypes like DBW-16, NW-1014 and AAI-16 were found high yielding under normal condition but also showed high reduction in yield under heat stress condition.

Global climate change, in the form of increasing temperature and fluctuating soil moisture conditions including drought stress, is projected to decrease the crop physiology of food crops over the next 50 years. Drought stress is an effect of considered as the lowering in the rate of respiration or decrease in the level of photosynthesis. This mini-review tells us the latest information about the drought stress and its effect on the growth of the plant with relation to photosynthesis and water and the mechanism of adaptation. There are numerous ways of the mechanism of adaptation that allows the plant to tolerate the drought stress condition. This mini-review we can prove the statement of different authors on the tolerance of drought stress and the slight changes in the environmental conditions may lead to the fast flexibility of the cell metabolism is the first and main step in the avoidance of drought stress.
