This research was conducted during the kharif season of 2023, spanning from July to September, at the Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, Institute of Agricultural Sciences, B.H.U. Soil sub-samples were extracted and analysed at intervals of 5, 15, 30, 45, and 60 days post planting to assess P-availability. Concurrently, measurements were taken at 24, 72, 120, 168, and 240 hours to analyze P-adsorption kinetics. It was noted that the release of phosphorus was gradual in soil treated with encapsulated NCPC, particularly ex-situ NCPC, in contrast to conventional fertilizer. Moreover, phosphorus availability was found to be higher in NCPC-treated soil compared to conventional fertilizer, especially within the initial 45 days after sowing (DAS). The incubation experiment shed light on the dynamics of P-adsorption over a period of 240 hours. Greater adsorption was evident with 10 ppm solution in comparison to 20 ppm, while desorption was observed with 5 ppm solution initially. The peak adsorption occurred at 20 ppm, with levels stabilizing by the end of 240 hours. P-adsorption kinetics were more prominent in soil treated with phosphorus-loaded nanoclay polymer composite (NCPC) using the ex-situ method, as opposed to the in-situ method. Both first and second order kinetic models were found to be applicable for adsorption kinetics. Consequently, the experiment indicates that the ex-situ technique of fertilizer loading outperforms the in-situ method, possibly due to its capacity to enhance the polymerization of NCPC, leading to favorable results. The results imply that the integration of NCPC not only enhances crop growth but also contributes to the long-term sustainability of soil health through prolonged availability of nutrients.","PeriodicalId":14186,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Plant & Soil Science","volume":"4 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141337522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Treatments combining farmyard manure (FYM), vermicompost, and biofertilizers such as Azotobacter and phosphorus-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) with recommended doses of NPK fertilizers showed superior results compared to inorganic fertilizers alone. The application of vermicompost and FYM not only improved nutrient uptake and soil properties but also increased the synthesis of beneficial phenolic compounds, enhancing plant health and pest resistance.

Biotechnology is essential for protecting crop yield and enhancing sustainability in agriculture. Agricultural biotechnology has advanced offering options for understanding plant molecular mechanisms and breeding. The devastating finger millet blast disease caused by the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae affects crop growth and yield leading to instability due to breakdown of blast resistance. Novel strategies are essential for sustainable finger millet production focusing on breeding techniques such as molecular markers, expressed sequence tags (ESTs), gene expression profiling, genome-wide association studies, and genetic transformations to develop new disease-resistance varieties. This comprehensive review explores current breeding strategies and future directions that may offers insights for effective disease control and optimizing finger millet productivity.","PeriodicalId":14186,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Plant & Soil Science","volume":"17 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141341230","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
