A large amount of ammonia volatilization from the agricultural system causes environmental problems and increases production costs. Conservation agriculture has emerged as an alternate and sustainable crop production system. Therefore, in the present study, ammonia losses from different agricultural practices were evaluated for the wheat crop under different tillage practices.

Cd mobility in wastewater irrigated soils can be curtailed through eco-friendly and cost effective organic soil amendments (biochars) that eventually minimizes its translocation from soil to plant. This study explored the possible effects of various types of plants straw biochar as soil amendments on cadmium (Cd) phytoavailability in wastewater degraded soil and its subsequent accumulation in sunflower tissues.

- The study explores the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles using a specific fungus, by reacting silver nitrate with the fungus’s cell-free filtrates.
- The synthesized nanoparticles were analyzed using advanced techniques like UV-visible spectroscopy and electron microscopy to examine their size, shape, and crystallinity.
- The research found that these nanoparticles, measuring 10-12 nm, exhibited about 50% antifungal activity against certain plant pathogens at a concentration of 150 ppm, marking it as a unique and environmentally friendly method for nanoparticle production.
