leading to widespread disease and premature mortality. Soil health is vital, ensuring the production of safe food, but it is compromised by pollutants such as heavy metals, pesticides, plastics, and excessive fertilization, resulting in the depletion of beneficial microorganisms and subsequently ground...
White mustard scientifically known as Sinapis Alba is an annual herbaceous plant of the Brassicaceae ⁄ Cruciferae (Mustard family). It is occasionally also referred to as Brassica Alba or B. hirta. The plant probably originates from the Mediterranean region, but various cultivars are grown in ...

The judicious application of biochar is paramount for reducing ammonia emissions in urea treatments, enhancing soil pH in liquid digestate and pelletized chicken manure treatments, and exerting a substantial influence on plant biomass. These findings underscore the potential of biochar to augment soil ...
However, the potential of annual manure applications to increase stocks of soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN) needs to be better understood. In this study, we evaluated the long-term (1991–2012) effects of various fertilization regimes on crop yield, and SOC and TN in the ...
