“…Under combined application of Zn + GM, a better outcome in disease suppression could be attributed to the benefit of decomposition of GM ( S. bispinosa ), which releases the organic acid in the soil, lowers soil pH, improves soil physicochemical properties, and increases the availability of Zn and essential nutrients to the plant ( De et al, 2021 ). Moreover, the multivariate analysis also separated the best treatments for the disease management and suggested that Zn (2.44 or 5 mg/kg) in combination with GM may act in the way that ideally managed charcoal rot disease in mungbean plants by regulating plant development and activities of antioxidants and increasing grain yield.…”

Charcoal rot disease is incited by the soil-borne fungus Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi). Goid is a challenging disease due to long-term persistence of fungus sclerotia in the soil. This study assessed the potential of zinc (Zn: 1.25, 2.44, and 5 mg/kg) and green manure (GM: 1 and 2%) in solitary and bilateral combinations to alleviate infection stress incited by M. phaseolina on disease, growth, physiology, and yield attributes in mungbean. A completely randomized design experiment was conducted in potted soil, artificially inoculated with the pathogen, and sown with surface-sterilized seeds of mungbean genotypes (susceptible: MNUYT-107 and highly susceptible: MNUYT-105). Concealment of plant resistance by M. phaseolina in both genotypes resulted in 53–55% disease incidence and 40–50% plant mortality, which contributed in causing a significant reduction of 30–90% in attributes of growth, biomass, yield, photosynthetic pigment, and total protein content with an imbalance of production of antioxidant enzymes (polyphenol oxidase, superoxide dismutase, catalase, and peroxidase). Soil application with Zn-based fertilizer (ZnSO4: 33%) in combination with GM significantly managed up to 80% of the charcoal rot disease, hence improving growth (50–100%) and physiochemical (30–100%) attributes and sustainably enhancing grain average yield (300–600%), biological yield (100–200%), and harvest index (100–200%) in mungbean plants. The heat map and principal component analyses based on 19 measured attributes with 16 treatments separated Zn (2.44 or 5 mg/kg) combined with 2% GM as the best treatments for alleviating charcoal rot disease stress by improving growth, yield, and biological attributes to an extent to profitable farming in terms of harvest index (HI) and benefit-cost ratio (BCR).

“…Various organic sources, including farmyard manure (FYM), paddy husk ash (PHA), and potato peel compost (PPC), derived from agricultural and industrial waste, significantly contribute to sustainable practices. FYM, composed of decomposed dung, urine, litter, and leftover fodder, enables gradual nutrient release, aligning with plant requirements ( De et al., 2021 ). Similarly, PHA, a byproduct of rice milling, and potato peel waste from the food processing industry present disposal challenges, motivating their exploration for agricultural applications ( Sharma et al., 2015 ).…”

Utilizing agricultural and industrial wastes, potent reservoirs of nutrients, for nourishing the soil and crops through composting embodies a sustainable approach to waste management and organic agriculture. To investigate this, a 2-year field experiment was conducted at ICAR-IARI, New Delhi, focusing on a pigeon pea–vegetable mustard–okra cropping system. Seven nutrient sources were tested, including a control (T1), 100% recommended dose of nitrogen (RDN) through farmyard manure (T2), 100% RDN through improved rice residue compost (T3), 100% RDN through a paddy husk ash (PHA)–based formulation (T4), 75% RDN through PHA-based formulation (T5), 100% RDN through a potato peel compost (PPC)–based formulation (T6), and 75% RDN through PPC-based formulation (T7). Employing a randomized block design with three replications, the results revealed that treatment T4 exhibited the significantly highest seed (1.89 ± 0.09 and 1.97 ± 0.12 t ha−1) and stover (7.83 ± 0.41 and 8.03 ± 0.58 t ha−1) yield of pigeon pea, leaf yield (81.57 ± 4.69 and 82.97 ± 4.17 t ha−1) of vegetable mustard, and fruit (13.54 ± 0.82 and 13.78 ± 0.81 t ha−1) and stover (21.64 ± 1.31 and 22.03 ± 1.30 t ha−1) yield of okra during both study years compared to the control (T1). Treatment T4 was on par with T2 and T6 for seed and stover yield in pigeon pea, as well as okra, and leaf yield in vegetable mustard over both years. Moreover, T4 demonstrated notable increase of 124.1% and 158.2% in NH4-N and NO3-N levels in the soil, respectively, over the control. The enhanced status of available nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in the soil, coupled with increased soil organic carbon (0.41%), total bacteria population (21.1%), fungi (37.2%), actinomycetes (44.6%), and microbial biomass carbon (28.5%), further emphasized the positive impact of T4 compared to the control. Treatments T2 and T6 exhibited comparable outcomes to T4 concerning changes in available N, P, soil organic carbon, total bacteria population, fungi, actinomycetes, and microbial biomass carbon. In conclusion, treatments T4 and T6 emerge as viable sources of organic fertilizer, particularly in regions confronting farmyard manure shortages. These formulations offer substantial advantages, including enhanced yield, soil quality improvement, and efficient fertilizer utilization, thus contributing significantly to sustainable agricultural practices.

“…Crops, cattle, poultry, fish, sericulture, vermicompost, piggery, dairy, goats, and horticulture are all part of the farming system [2]. Integrated Farming Systems (IFS) is a wellrecognized good technique for coordinating cooperative management of land, water, plants, livestock, and people [3]. Animal husbandry, dairying, and fishing are among the allied industries that are progressively expanding as high-growth sectors.…”

The study's major goal was to find out the challenges (high cost of input, pest attack, marketing problems, high transportation cost etc.,) that farmers face in the integrated farming system. Farmers' constraints in different enterprises of the integrated farming system were recorded through a well-structured and pretested survey schedule. To confirm their validity and determine the extent to which the identified constraints were seen in crop production as well as in cattle production, goat rearing, backyard poultry production and orange cultivation, the severity of the indicated constraints in the real field condition was measured. The fieldwork was carried out in sixteen villages of the Hadoti region out of which Kota, Bundi, Baran, and Jhalawar were selected randomly. A total of 112 farmers were interviewed and data was gathered through group discussions and personal interviews. The data were quantified by ranking the limitations based on the responses of the respondents.
