“…Other research also showed that malathion exposure gave the significant reduction in body weight and decreased sperm viability of Eisenia fetida adults species. The organism also had an adverse impact on growth and reproduction by the chlorpyrifos exposure, and the cypermethrin exposure also gave the significant reduction in cocoon production [3][4][5][6]. Pesticides which are applied to the soil could have an impact on nontarget organisms and damage the local metabolism that is required by soil fertility and pesticide degradation itself [7][8][9][10][11].…”

Uncontrolled application of pesticides can contaminate soil and may kill other nontarget organisms. This study aims to determine the usage pattern of pesticides by farmers in Wanasari Subdistrict and study the soil quality degradation potential. This study was a quantitative and qualitative research. Sources of data were collected from observation, questionnaire, and in-depth interview methods. The respondents were shallot farmers who planted shallot during 2013-2016 ( = 60). In-depth interview was done with three respondents from the local agricultural extension center (BPP). This study found that there were some different types of insecticides and fungicides that were used in every planting season. The farmers applied pesticides in large amount once every three or four days. They mixed minimally three insecticides and fungicides types about 30-40 ml for each type. Organophosphate residues that were found in soil samples were methidathion residue about 0.014 mg/kg, malathion residue ranging around 0.1370-0.3630 mg/kg, and chlorpyrifos residue in the range of 0.0110-0.0630 mg/kg. The excessive application of pesticides showed the land degradation potential. Soil quality laboratory testing is recommended to ensure the agricultural land condition. Routine assessment of soil quality and pesticide usage control is recommended to keep sustainable ecosystem.

“…On the other hand, in VRG, the presence of manure, along with the lack of agrochemicals which can inhibit the micro-and macro-organisms in the soil and the manure (Hussain et al, 2009;Yasmin and D'Souza, 2010), suggest that the flow of SOM is more dynamic in VRG than NT systems, which receive an annual application of herbicides and insecticides.…”

Rationally Managed Pastures Stock More Carbon than No-Tillage Fields

A significant share of Greenhouse Gases (GHG) produced from agriculture comes from cattle farming. The reduction in GHG emissions from ruminants fed with grains has led some researchers to recommend such a diet as a means of mitigating emissions in the sector. A more accurate balance of emissions, however, must include the carbon (C) stocked by feed crops. Within the grain production system, no-tillage (NT) cultivation systems have a greater capacity to increase and store soil organic carbon (SOC). Within grazing management systems, the rotation used in Voisin's Rational Grazing (VRG) allows the accumulation of SOC through root growth. The objective of this study was to assess the C stock of pasture under VRG and compare soil C stock between VRG pasture and fields under no-tillage management, in two seasons over a period of 1 year. The study included five dairy farms in Santa Catarina State, Brazil. In each property, we collected soil to quantify SOC from VRG pasture and NT fields, in summer and winter. In the pasture, to determine the total stock, we also collected samples from the aerial parts of plants and the roots. Further, we estimated how efficient would be producing milk from those pastures or from those crops. The VRG pasture showed a greater capacity to stock C in the soil than the no-tillage fields (VRG = 115.0 Mg C ha −1 ; NT = 92.5 Mg C ha −1 ; p < 0.00009), with the greatest difference at a depth of 0-10 cm (VRG = 41 Mg C ha −1 ; NT = 32 Mg C ha −1 ; p < 0.00008). In VRG, 95% of C was in the soil, 1% in the aerial part of plants, and 4% in the roots. On pasture was produced 0.15 kg of milk.kg −1 of C stored, and on NT system 0.13 kg of milk.kg −1 of C stored. In this study, we conclude that independent of season, the soil in well managed pastures had a greater stock of C, produced more milk and produced more milk.kg −1 of stored C than fields under NT management. Therefore, when comparing GHG emissions of ruminants with different diets, we must also quantify the SOC resulting from distinct feed production systems.

“…Lima et al (2010) encontraron un aumento en los efectos deletéreos del carbaril sobre la lombriz de tierra Eisenia andrei Bouché, 1972 (Oligochaeta). Yasmin & D'Souza (2010) han encontrado efectos en la reproducción de Eisenia fetida (Savigny, 1826). En contraste al presente estudio que mostró alta toxicidad del carbaril a diferentes entomófagos del control biológico; en las larvas y en las obreras del polinizador Apis mellifera Linnaeus, 1758 se ha observado un bajo riesgo por acción del carbaril (Sánchez-Bayo & Goka, 2014).…”
