“…In another study, they report a bio-organic fertilizer (BoF) prepared using kitchen waste (79%), chita-dhan (unfilled rice grain) biochar (15%), rock phosphate (5%), and a consortium of 10 plant-growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) (1%). With this BoF, they can replace 30% nitrogen and triple superphosphate (TSP) fertilizer in rice production and improve soil health [96,97]. In any case, there are many products in the market of organic fertilizers [98], but almost none have academic support regarding their composition or mode of action for the plants.…”

“…In any case, there are many products in the market of organic fertilizers [98], but almost none have academic support regarding their composition or mode of action for the plants. Thus, more products must be experimented with scientifically to advance to a more precise and sustainable agriculture [96]. In addition to having sustainable agriculture, human health should benefit from the wide adoption of organic agriculture [99,100].…”

The global demand for sustainable agricultural practices is increasing, necessitating the preference for fertilizers and organic stimulants with minimal chemical transformation. This study investigates the potential use of Mucuna (Mucuna pruriens sp.) and avocado (Persea americana Mills) seed residues in the cultivation of cherry-tomato crops (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) var. cerasiforme. After extracting L-dopa, the Mucuna ground residual seeds were incorporated into the soil substrate as an edaphic fertilizer. In contrast, the hydrolyzed avocado seed was mixed with water or the nutrient Long Ashton and applied as a foliar biostimulant to cherry plants grown in a greenhouse. We report the nutrients and amino acid content in hydrolysates of the avocado and Mucuna’s residue seeds and experiment with their effect in plants employing a completely blocked random design of eight treatments with four replicates. Data inspection involved analysis of variance, and mean differences were determined using Fisher’s least significant difference test. Significant differences (p < 0.05) were observed among the treatments regarding the number of flowers (70%), fruits (23%), and dry weight fruits (25%) in favor of those using these seed residues. A second experiment revealed that treatments containing both seed residues slightly increased the °Brix in fruits. This study supports with evidence that residual seeds benefit tomatoes and probably other important plants, contributing to the path to sustainable agriculture.

“…However, bioorganic liquid fertilizers formed with various contents have appeared as a substitute for plant nutrition, soil conditioner, and improver. As a result, chemical fertilizers should be subsidized for maintainable land management by increasing their trials both in terms of low cost and in field greenhouse condition (Turan et al 2022 ). Due to limited movement, people were unable to go outside and earn for their families and thus suffered from several social and psychological disorders, e.g., depression and anxiety.…”

Coronavirus disease (COVID)-19 is a viral and transferable disease caused by severe respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2. It can spread through breathing droplets in human beings. It caused 5.32 million deaths around the world at the end of 2021. COVID-19 has caused several positive impacts as well, such as a reduction in air, water, and noise pollution. However, its negative impacts are by far critical such as increased death rate, increased release of microcontaminants (pesticides, biocides, pharmaceuticals, surfactants, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), flame retardants, and heavy metals), increased biomedical waste generation due to excessive use of safety equipment and its disposal, and municipal solid waste generation. Environmental pollution was significantly reduced due to lockdown during the COVID-19 period. Therefore, the quality of air and water improved. COVID-19 affected all sections of the population, particularly the most vulnerable members of society, and thus pushed more people into poverty. At the world level, it increased risks to food safety by increasing prices and lowering revenues, forcing households to reduce their food consumption in terms of quantity and quality. COVID-19 also upset various exercises e.g., horticulture, fisheries, domesticated animals, and agribusiness hence prohibiting the development of merchandise for poor-country ranchers. Most of the patients can self-recover from COVID-19 if they do not have any other diseases like high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart problems. Predictably, the appropriate execution of the proposed approaches (vaccination, wearing face masks, social distancing, sustainable industrialization) is helpful for worldwide environmental sustainability.

In order to understand the characteristics and influencing factors of surface release fluxes in the typical agro-pastoral mosaic region of the Songnen grasslands of northern China, this study selected two sample plots to, respectively, represent the L. chinensis covered grassland (L), and the Z. mays covered fields (Z) in the Waizi area of Changling County, with western Jilin Province as the study area. This study investigated the atmospheric mercury (Total Gaseous Mercury (TGM)) concentrations, surface soil mercury concentrations, the gaseous elemental mercury exchange fluxes, and related environmental factors. The results showed that the TGM concentrations in two sample plots in the study area were basically the same during the summer and autumn months, but were higher in summer than in autumn, and there was a clear diurnal pattern. The average mercury concentrations in the surface soil were also higher in summer than in autumn. Furthermore, the surface soil has a clear mercury release process, and the mercury release were higher in the sheep grass field than the maize field during the same season. The mercury release fluxes in each site within the ecotone were related to the solar radiation and soil temperature values, and the effects of them on the soil mercury release were independent from one another.
