The escalating global waste crisis and precipitous decline in biodiversity have emerged as two of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time. These interconnected issues pose grave threats to the delicate balance of ecosystems and the myriad species that inhabit them. This research Endeavor seeks to harmonize these critical spheres by proposing an integrated approach to waste reduction and wildlife preservation, recognizing their inextricable linkages within the intricate web of life. This research explores the synergistic potential of integrating waste reduction strategies with targeted wildlife preservation efforts. By promoting circular economies, sustainable production and consumption practices, and innovative recycling technologies, the influx of harmful pollutants into ecosystems can be mitigated, alleviating the burden on vulnerable species and habitats. Complementarily, robust conservation measures, ecosystem restoration initiatives, and the engagement of local communities can safeguard biodiversity, thereby maintaining the ecological integrity that underpins sustainable waste management.

In the vast expanse of India's agricultural panorama, the book "Modern Facets of Agriculture in India" serves as a comprehensive guide, delving into an array of contemporary topics that underscore the dynamic nature of farming in the 21st century. The chapters within this volume converge on a spectrum of issues ranging from cutting-edge technologies to sustainable practices, offering an in-depth exploration into the intricate web of challenges and innovations shaping the agricultural landscape of India. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force in various sectors, and agriculture is no exception. This book opens the door to the realm of AI applications in farming, unraveling the potential it holds in optimizing resource utilization, predicting crop yields, and enhancing decision-making processes for farmers. From smart farming techniques to precision agriculture, the integration of AI is a beacon illuminating the path towards a more efficient and productive agricultural future. Micro-organisms, particularly Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR), take center stage as contributors to soil health and crop productivity. The book provides a nuanced exploration of how harnessing the potential of these micro-organisms can revolutionize agricultural practices, reducing the dependence on chemical inputs while enhancing soil fertility. The sustainability of the rice-wheat cropping system is a pivotal concern, given its prevalence in the Indian agricultural mosaic. This volume scrutinizes the challenges and opportunities inherent in sustaining this crucial cropping system, offering insights into practices that balance productivity with environmental conservation. Diversity, a hallmark of nature, extends to the intricate world of honey bees. The book navigates through the varied species of honey bees in India, emphasizing their role in pollination and the delicate balance required for sustaining biodiversity. Soil water conservation and fertility management emerge as critical components of sustainable agriculture. This volume probes into innovative techniques and time-tested practices that safeguard water resources, enhance soil health, and fortify the foundations of a resilient agricultural ecosystem. As agriculture grapples with the specter of heavy metal contamination in soil, the book investigates the sources, impacts, and remediation strategies. It underscores the urgency of addressing this issue to ensure not only food security but also the long-term health of the environment. Genetic transformation in medicinal plants represents a groundbreaking frontier in agricultural research. As the demand for herbal remedies rises, understanding the genetic makeup of medicinal plants becomes crucial. This book scrutinizes the strides made in genetic modification, exploring how science is unlocking the therapeutic potential of plants and contributing to the pharmaceutical landscape. The concept of reverse genetics unfolds as a key tool in unraveling the intricacies of plant biology. This book sheds light on how this approach is reshaping our understanding of plant genetics, enabling scientists to modify genes for improved crop traits, disease resistance, and environmental adaptability. "Modern Facets of Agriculture in India" is a compendium that invites readers on a journey through the contemporary nuances of Indian agriculture. It is a testament to the tireless efforts of researchers, scientists, and farmers striving to strike a harmonious balance between technological advancements and sustainable practices. As we traverse the diverse landscapes of AI, genetic transformation, sustainability, and beyond, this book serves as a beacon guiding us toward an agriculturally resilient and environmentally conscious future.

Phosphorus (P) plays dual role in providing plant nutrition while suppressing lead (Pb) toxicity in soil-plant system. Remediation of lead toxicity with soluble P is a promising low-cost soil rehabilitation technology. An incubation experiment is conducted for assessing the bioavailability of Pb and P under simultaneous application in Pb-laden soils. The treatments consist of four Pb levels, 0, 5, 10 and 20 mg kg −1 soil, and four P levels, 0, 10, 20 and 30 mg kg −1 soil, with five periods of incubation (0, 7, 15, 30 and 60 days) arranged in a 4 × 4 × 5 factorial design. The important physical, physicochemical and chemical characteristics of soil samples are analyzed. Bioavailable P and Pb contents of the soil samples after incubation with Pb and/or P are determined. The results indicate that Pb×P interactions significantly decrease bioavailable soil-Pb concentrations by 38.9-43.9%. Likewise, interactions of Pb×day and P×day significantly reduce soil-Pb concentrations by 33.1-35.1 and 31.8-33.6% at different levels of Pb and P spiking, respectively. A ready reckoner is developed using the antagonism manifestation of Pb and P in soil, which suggests the administration of P doses with respect to Pb-loading and time elapsed to rejuvenate Pb-contaminated soils for healthy crop production.
