“…Active nodules are coloured inside (pink-red-brown) as a result of pigmented protein (Achakzai, 2007). Significant nodule colour variations among Kabuli and Desi varieties could also be attributed to interactions between the N and c rbon (C) cycles th t ffect the crop's N:C b l nce nd nodulation (Kumar et al, 2020). This is in agreement with Che ining'w et l. ( 2013) who determined active nodules in chickpea varieties.…”

Chickpea is a major legume grown in Kenya. The agronomic performance, nodulation ability and grain crude protein are not fully exploited. Field experiments were conducted at Embu, Kenya to determine the effect of plant spacing and N-fertilizer rates on nodulation and protein content of selected chickpea varieties. A split-split plot design was used and replicated three times. Treatments consisted of main factor, variety in four levels (Saina K, Mwanza 2, Chania I, Chania III), sub factor, spacing in three levels (S 1 : 50 x 10; S 2 : 50 x 20; S 3 : 50 x 30 cm), and sub-sub factor, nitrogen fertilizer rates in four levels of (0; 30; 60; 90 kg ha -1 ). Data on nodulation and CP was subjected to GLM. Spacing and N-fertilizer rates significantly affected nodule numbers, fresh weight and their sizes. Mwanza 2 x 50x10 cm x N 30 posted highest nodule numbers while Chania III had highest protein content. Interactions of VS, VN, SN and VSN had no consistent pattern under nodule factors but were highly significant in percent CP. Hence, optimal interactive effects of VSN can improve nodulation factors and CP of chickpea. The information will help growers make informed decisions, and researchers in developing improved varieties.

“…The functional groups formed on the biochar's surface are able to adsorb contaminants from waterbodies and the soil environment (Song et al 2021), including antibiotics, heavy metals, dye and herbicide, along with ammonia and phosphates (Kumar et al 2020b). Additionally, modified biochar can catalyse various environmental purposes (Wan et al 2020;Wang et al 2020;Kumar et al 2020c).…”

Integration of biogas systems into a carbon zero and hydrogen economy: a review

The Ukraine conflict has put critical pressure on gas supplies and increased the price of fertilisers. As a consequence, biogas has gained remarkable attention as a local source of both gas for energy and biofertiliser for agriculture. Moreover, climate change-related damage incentivises all sectors to decarbonise and integrate sustainable practices. For instance, anaerobic digestion allows decarbonisation and optimal waste management. Incorporating a biogas system in each country would limit global warming to 2 °C. If suitable policies mechanisms are implemented, the biogas industry could reduce global greenhouse gas emissions by 3.29–4.36 gigatonnes carbon dioxide equivalent, which represent about 10–13% of global emissions. Here, we review the role of the biogas sector in capturing methane and mitigating carbon emissions associated with biogas outputs. Since biogas impurities can cause severe practical difficulties in biogas storing and gas grid delivering systems, we present upgrading technologies that remove or consume the carbon dioxide in raw biogas, to achieve a minimum of 95% methane content. We discuss the role of hydrogen-assisted biological biogas upgrading in carbon sequestration by converting carbon dioxide to biomethane via utilising hydrogen generated primarily through other renewable energy sources such as water electrolysis and photovoltaic solar facilities or wind turbines. This conceptual shift of 'power to gas' allows storing and utilising the excess of energy generated in grids. By converting carbon dioxide produced during anaerobic digestion into additional biomethane, biogas has the potential to meet 53% of the demand for fossil natural gas. We also evaluate the role of digestate from biogas systems in producing biochar, which can be used directly as a biofertiliser or indirectly as a biomethanation enhancement, upgrading, and cleaning material.

“…Limbah ekstraksi Indigofera tinctoria dapat digunakan sebagai pupuk organik karena merupakan limbah organik. Tanaman Indigofera tinctoria merupakan salah satu keluarga leguminaceae yang mampu memfiksasi N di atmosfer sehingga dapat meningkatkan ketersediaan nitrogen tanah (Kumar, 2020). Penggunaan tanaman legume sebagai pupuk meningkatkan mineralisasi bahan organik tanah dan aktivitas enzim tanah (Sánchez-Navarro et al, 2019).…”

Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat bekerjasama dengan CV. Indigo Biru Baru yang merupakan usaha batik pewarna alami di Desa Puron, Kecamatan Bulu, Kabupaten Sukoharjo dengan memanfaatkan tanaman Indigofera tinctoria sebagai pewarna biru alami. Pengelolaan tanaman tersebut sebagai pewarna alami menghasilkan limbah yang belum dimanfaatkan. Permasalahan limbah tersebut mendorong pemanfaatan limbah sebagai pupuk organik padat. Tujuan kegiatan pengabdian yaitu membina mitra dalam pengelolaan limbah ekstraksi sebagai pupuk organik. Metode yang diterapkan yaitu: uji coba pembuatan pupuk organik limbah ekstraksi Indigofera tinctoria, analisis kualitas pupuk organik, penyuluhan dan demonstrasi tentang pemanfaatan limbah sebagai pupuk organik, demontrasi plot budidaya Indigofera tinctoria dengan aplikasi pupuk organik, demontrasi plot budidaya sayuran dengan aplikasi pupuk organik. Hasil kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat menunjukkan bahwa limbah ekstraksi Indigofera tinctoria dapat digunakan sebagai pupuk organik dan memenuhi persyaratan standar sebagai pupuk organik menurut Permentan No.70/ Permentan/SR.140/10/2011. Kualitas pupuk organik meliputi parameter kadar air, N total, P2O5, K2O, C-organik, C/N rasio dan pH menjadi indikator keberhasilan pengelolaan limbah sebagai pupuk organik. Berdasarkan kegiatan penyuluhan menunjukkan bahwa peserta interaktif dan berminat untuk memanfaatan limbah ekstraksi Indigofera tinctoria sebagai pupuk organik. Pupuk organik limbah ekstraksi dapat digunakan sebagai media tanam untuk penanaman sayuran dan pembibitan Indigofera tinctoria. Hasil percobaan menunjukkan bahwa pemberian pupuk organik limbah ekstraksi dapat meningkatkan pertumbuhan tanaman Indigofera tinctoria pada 6 MST. Hasil kegiatan yang diperoleh yaitu peningkatan pengetahuan mengenai teknologi tepat guna untuk memanfaatkan limbah.
