The present study was conducted to assess the green consumer behavior of respondents, their waste disposal pattern and factors that influence their green behavior. Descriptive research design was selected for the present study. Random sampling method was used to select respondents for conducting this study. Total 300 respondents were selected through simple random sampling method; who are residing in campus of Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University. A teacher made test was developed to assess green consumer behavior of the respondents. Interview schedule was developed to know the basic information of the respondents, their waste disposal pattern and factors affecting their green consumer behavior. Data were analyzed by using suitable descriptive statistics. Majority of the respondents belonged to medium category of green consumer behavior. Waste disposal pattern was not proper. Several factors affected green consumer behaviour of respondents such as their education, income, family size, motives, barriers of purchasing green products and environmental concern.

Plant diseases are a significant agricultural productivity constraint. Pesticide resistance and environmental contamination are issues that come from widespread pesticide use. It has been estimated that 20–40% of the crops are lost each year as a result of plant infections and pests. The use of hazardous pesticides in the present plant disease control strategy might be damaging to both humans and the environment. Plant pathogens have begun to be affected by the use of nanoparticles; a field of cutting-edge technology known as nanotechnology. An efficient method for controlling harmful bacteria was demonstrated by using nanoparticles as an alternative to chemical pesticides. The current approach of controlling plant diseases uses potentially harmful pesticides, which might have negative effects on both people and the environment. The use of nanoparticles in nanotechnology, a cutting-edge area of study, has started to have an impact on plant diseases. Nanoparticles have been shown to be an effective alternative to chemical pesticides for the control of dangerous microorganisms. The nanoparticles have an advantage over other commonly used chemical treatments since they are very stable and naturally biodegradable, which are linked to eco-toxicity. This study is centered on the application of nanotechnology in plant pathology for the identification and management of plant diseases, interactions between hosts and pathogens, and the microbial generation of nanoparticles, which offers plant pathologists and nanotechnologists a wide variety of prospects.

A survey work was conducted to assess the soil fertility status of sugarcane growing soils of SNJ sugar factory zone, Andhra Pradesh. Two hundred seventeen (217) soil samples were collected at a depth of 0-15 cm from nine mandals (Palasamudram, Veduru Kuppam, Penumuru, Rompicherla, Pileru, Pulicherla, Chinnagottigallu, Erravaripalem and Chandragiri) and analyzed for physicochemical and chemical properties. Geo reference coordinates (Latitude and Longitude) also noted at sampling sites. The results revealed that 38% of soils were neutral in reaction (pH 6.5-7.0), 10% were slightly acidic and 33% of soils were slightly alkaline in reaction. All soils had non saline nature. 80% of soils were low in organic carbon (OC) content and 20% of soils had medium in OC content. Available nitrogen in 93% of collected soils was low (< 280 kg ha-1). Available phosphorus in these sugarcane growing soils ranged from 26 to 114 kg ha-1 with a mean of 57.07 kg ha-1. Available potassium levels varied between 197 and 521 kg ha-1 (medium to high) with a mean of 347 kg ha-1. The soils have available sulphur ranged from 2.6 to 15.6 mg kg-1. 74% of soils were showed deficient in available sulphur. Digital soil maps for pH, EC, OC, available nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and sulphur prepared by using GIS approach. Soil nutrient index for OC, available nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and sulphur was 1, 1, 2, 2.31 and 1, respectively

A field experiment was carried out in the Kharif season of 2021, at soil science research farm of Lovely professional university (Punjab), to assess the effects of various sulphur sources and levels on the nutrient content, uptake, Nutrient use efficiency and the sulphur availability in post-harvest soil of green gram ( Vigna radiata L.Wilczek) crop. The experiment was laid out in a factorial randomized block design, comprising of three sulphur sources (Gypsum, Single Super Phosphate and Bentonite sulphur), four levels (0, 10, 20 and 30 kg/ha) and replicated thrice. The results of the study revealed that the higher sulphur content and its uptake in leaf, shoot, grain, and straw yield were obtained with gypsum application at 20 kg S/ha. Moreover, statistically significant increase in Sulphur use efficiency and Agronomic use efficiency of green gram were recorded with the application of gypsum @ 20 kg S/ha respectively over control. However, the sulphur availability in soil after harvest, was maximum with the sulphur application of 30 kg/ha through bentonite sulphur. Therefore, gypsum application at the dosage of 20 kg/ha along with the Recommended dose of NPK, gave productive results with respect to green gram crop.

Arsenic contamination in aqueous environments poses a significant threat to human health and the environment. Various adsorbents have been explored to mitigate this issue, with biochar emerging as a promising candidate due to its high adsorption capacity and environmental sustainability. In this study, we investigated the effectiveness of iron-modified biochar as an adsorbent for arsenic removal from aqueous solutions. The results demonstrated that the iron-modified biochar exhibited superior arsenic adsorption performance compared to unmodified biochar. The maximum reduction was found to be 71%, indicating a significant improvement over conventional biochar.

The water quality assessment of lotic ecosystems using physico-chemical parameters does not accurately reflect the impact of pollutants on the biota. The life span of the inhabiting biota integrates both the past and present environmental conditions and predicts the long-term impact of pollutants. Bio-monitoring- the systematic study of biota- is a powerful tool to assess the degree of impact of pollutants on aquatic environment. Bio-monitoring began in World during 1840s but, in India, it started during 1980s. But, proper coordination among all the stakeholders is required to fill the gap on available information of lotic resources of India. The current article calls for the inventory of the biological water quality of lotic ecosystems and bio-monitoring specific policy framework under regulatory regime in the country. This would help the environmentalists and the policymakers for the sustainable management of both the lotic ecosystems and the inhabiting biodiversity.
