Drift Seaweed as a Multifunctional Resource for Sustainable Coastal Agroecosystems

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Soil Science, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The growing global population continues to intensify the demand for food and feed, thereby raising pressure on available soil and water resources. As a matter of fact, sustainable agricultural practices are urgently needed to reduce environmental strain while maintaining productivity.

Soil Phosphatase Enzyme Activity as Influenced by Agro‐Ecological Zones in Central Nepal

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Soil Science, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Soil is a dynamic ecosystem that sustains a diverse community of organisms, enhancing its vitality and functions. Biochemical processes within the soil contribute to its active nature, with enzymes produced by organisms and plants playing roles in reactions. Phosphatases hydrolyze organic phosphorus to plant‐available phosphate ions.

Urban Organic Waste for Urban Farming: Growing Lettuce Using Vermicompost and Thermophilic Compost

open access: yes, 2021
A transformation towards sustainable food production requires improved circular nutrient management. Urban organic waste contains relevant nutrients and organic matter, yet only 4% of global urban nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) sources are presently ...

Impact of Organic Farming on Yield and Quality of BASMATI Rice and Soil Properties [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The management of soil organic matter is critical to maintain a productive organic farming system. No one source of nutrient usually suffices to maintain productivity and quality control in organic system.

Nutrient supply from organic amendments applied to unvegetated soil, lettuce and orchardgrass [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Organic sources of nutrients are increasingly being used in horticultural and certified organic production. The nutrient-supplying potentials of poultry manure compost (PM), feather meal (FM), alfalfa meal (AA) and vermicastings (VC) and an unamended ...

Valorization of Waste Grape Pomace: Effects on Growth, Flowering, and Leaf Nutrient Content of Dahlia variabilis sp. “Figaro” Violet

open access: yesJournal of Chemistry, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Composting is a sustainable method widely used in the evaluation of organic wastes, and stabilized soil amendments and growing media can be obtained by this method. In this study, the effects of compost obtained from grape pomace on the growth and development of Dahlia variabilis “Figaro Violet” were investigated by adding 20% and 40% to the growing ...

Ameliorative effects of termite‐mediated soils and lime on soil acidity: Implication for barley (Hordeum vulgare) produce

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 8, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract Crop production is threatened by low soil fertility and soil acidity in high rainfall areas, while escalating lime and fertilizer costs call for alternative local materials. In this regard, the ameliorative effects of termite‐mediated soils (TMS) as a liming material and source of essential plant nutrients should be investigated.

Growth and Yield of Tomato Applied with Silicon Supplements with Varying Material Structures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The effect of varying material structure of silicon (Si) supplements on the growth and yield performance of tomato was investigated. The experimental design consisted of three Si sources (nanosilica, microsilica and sodium silicate) at 5 g/L Si ...

Effects of bio‐slurry and inorganic nitrogen fertilizer rates on wheat yield components, yield, and soil properties

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 8, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract Maintaining soil fertility and enhancing food production on smallholder farms in Ethiopia remain a major challenge due to severe nutrient depletion caused by continuous cropping with minimal external nutrient inputs. In this context, a field study was conducted on Nitisols over two consecutive cropping seasons (2022–2023) across four locations
