Various physico-chemical parameters, including fluoride (F−), were analyzed to understand the hydro-geochemistry of an aquifer in a semi-arid region of India. Furthermore, the quality
of the shallow and deep aquifer (using tube well and hand pumps) was also investigated for their best ecological use including
drinking, domestic, agricultural and other activities. Different multivariate techniques were applied to understand the groundwater
chemistry of the aquifer. Findings of the correlation matrix were strengthened by the factor analysis, and this shows that
salinity is mainly caused by magnesium salts as compared to calcium salts in the aquifer. The problem of salinization seems
mainly compounded by the contamination of the shallow aquifers by the recharging water. High factor loading of total alkalinity
and bicarbonates indicates that total alkalinity was mainly due to carbonates and bicarbonates of sodium. The concentration
of F− was found more in the deep aquifer than the shallow aquifer. Further, only a few groundwater samples lie below the permissible
limit of F−, and this indicates a risk of dental caries in the populace of the study area. The present study indicates that regular monitoring
of groundwater is an important step to avoid human health risks and to assess its quality for various ecological purposes. 相似文献

In India, millions of tones of livestock excreta are produced. Our study explores the potential of an epigeic earthworm Eisenia foetida to compost different livestock excreta (cow, buffalo, horse, donkey, sheep, goat and camel) into value added product (vermicompost)
at the laboratory scale. Vermicomposting resulted in lowering of pH, electrical conductivity, potassium and C:N ratio and
increase in nitrogen and phosphorus contents. Total K was lower in the final cast than in the initial feed. C:N ratios of
the vermicomposts ranged from 16.2 ± 2.17 to 75.4 ± 6.84. Microbial activity measured as dehydrogenase activity in buffalo,
donkey and camel wastes increased with time up to day 90. But in sheep and goat wastes, maximum dehydrogenase activity was
recorded on day 60 and decreased thereafter. The cocoons and hatchlings production by Eisenia foetida in different excreta were also investigated. The greatest number and biomass of hatchlings was recorded in horse excreta
followed by cow, goat and sheep excreta. Thus, cow, horse, sheep and goat excreta show potential as good substrates in vermicomposting
using Eisenia foetida, although further research is required to explore the feasibility of use of buffalo, donkey and camel excreta in combination
with cow/sheep/goat excreta. 相似文献

Survey of nitrogen use pattern in rice in the irrigated rice-wheat cropping system of Haryana, India

Seeing the sustainability of rice-wheat cropping system (RWCS) of the Indo-Gangetic Plain, adequate crop nutrition in general and nitrogen (N) in particular holds the key to sound crop management. The excessive application or insufficient management of N means an economic loss to the farmer and may lead to yield penalties and environmental problems. Improving N management in consonance with other nutrients is much important to break yield plateaus as breeding for high yielding is not happening in recent years. Findings from farm survey are used to evaluate the on-farm N management practices in rice crop of the study area. The crop management practices (especially time of sowing/transplanting and irrigation requirement) and resource base of the farmers decided the N use pattern of the farmers. The N(Physical optimum) and N(economic optimum) exceeding the recommended levels revealed the apparent need for the revalidation of the existing recommendations. Paddy yield increased significantly within different rice types. This study generated comprehensive data on N use pattern in rice in the study area. 相似文献
