Rice and wheat production in Pakistan with effective microorganisms

Article Abstract:

Organic farmers who are seeking to acquire considerable gains in the quality, growth and yield of crops may try using Effective Microorganisms (EM). These are actually microbial inoculants that contain naturally occurring microorganisms beneficial for plant use. Results gathered from a three-year long agricultural assessment in Pakistan revealed that EM do not only promote high-quality plant growth, but also provide efficient protection against diseases. EM may also be used in combination with chemical fertilizers and farmyard/garden manure to increase the nutrient uptake of rice and wheat.

Evaluation of farmers' perceptions of soil quality indicators

Article Abstract:

The perception accuracy of farmers regarding soil quality is relatively the same for conventional and organic farming operations, as revealed by a study involving 24 farmers in eastern Nebraska. The perception accuracy scores of these farmers did not reflect major differences when they were asked to evaluate the nature of soil in the context of physical, chemical and biological properties. However, a marked discrepancy in the perception of good and bad soil was noted when single indicator was employed.

Growth of apple trees, nitrate mobility and pest populations following a corn versus fescue crop rotation

Article Abstract:

A comparison between conventional system and alternative system for the growth of four apple cultivars on a whole-orchard scale is described. The conventional system was composed of a standard crop rotation system, followed by use of fertilizer and nematicide. The alternative system, on the other hand, consisted of a K-31 fescue sod. The advantages of the alternative system over the conventional system are discussed.
