Improving farm soil using urban organics

Article Abstract:

The practice of composting urban organics has long been promoted in India, and the Hubli-Dharwad Municipal Corporation (HDMC) has undertaken initiatives to improve solid waste management. The practices of farmers in two villages were observed to better understand their use of composts and develope strategies for increased use of urban waste. The results of composting trials and on-farm application will add to research to improve waste management.

Soil assessment of apple orchard under conventional and organic management

Article Abstract:

Soil compaction is studied by measuring water infiltration, microbial activity and organic matter content in a conventionally and organic-managed apple orchard. It is shown that organic methods brings higher macroporosity within the row and wheel-track compared to conventional management, and can be used to manage irrigation and fertilizer applications in a better way.

Principles of soil bioremediation

Article Abstract:

Basic information on soil bioremediation is presented. Bioremediation, which usually involves the use of bacteria to achieve soil decontamination, can be applied on site or off site. On-site bioremediation is generally suitable for sites that have restricted access or would present excessive extraction costs. Information on slurry-phase soil-treatment is included.
