Abstract:

Chemical fertilizer inputs in China peaked in 2015; however, agricultural carbon emissions continue to rise, and the effect of chemical fertilizer inputs on agricultural carbon emissions remains unclear in this context. This paper aims to offer a useful policy reference for low-carbon agriculture based on agrochemical inputs. Taking northeast China as an example, we incorporated chemical fertilizers as a factor in the generalized Divisia index model (GDIM) and conducted a decoupling analysis using a decoupling effort index (DEI) on data from 2000 to 2020. The factor decomposition results indic

The list of subsidised inputs and the rate structure of the subsidies were expanded considerably throughout the Sixties. Towards the end of the Sixties, it was noted that almost all the agricultural inputs including fertilisers, insecticides, seeds, irrigation water, tubewell installations, and the operation and pur

Abstract:

A systematic review has been done to collate all empirical evidence in order to answer a question regarding the development of ecofriendly farming. This farming system nowadays has been developed in order to overcome the negative impact of the application of green revolution technology. As we know, green revolution technology need more chemical inputs to double crop productions, which causes a negative impact on resources, a decrease in crops production, an increase pests and diseases, high residues of inorganic inputs, environmental unbalance and problem for human health.

Abstract:

Bacillus species have emerged as promising agents for reducing chemical input in sustainable crop production. These bacteria possess diverse abilities, including nutrient cycling, phytohormone production, and stress tolerance enhancement in plants. Recent advances in omics technologies have revolutionized the understanding of Bacillus sp. biology and expanded their potential applications. Bacillus-based products have demonstrated effectiveness in reducing nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer requirements while maintaining or improving crop yields.

Abstract:

Based on a nitrogen (N) budget change model of agricultural fields, nitrogen budget change in each county in Tao River basin was calculated. For the whole basin, N-inputs, N-outputs and N-surpluses were obtained. The results indicated that N-inputs and N-outputs of Tao River from 2006 to 2008 increased obviously. The total N-inputs (N-outputs) in 2006, 2007 and 2008 were 31935 (18109) Tg, 33162 (17982) Tg and 33878 (19048) Tg, respectively. Compared the sources of N inputs, chemical fertilizer accounted for 44.94%, followed by human and animal excreta with 26.06%. For the N-outputs, the percen

Abstract:

Zero Budget Natural Farming (ZBNF) is an innovative and sustainable agricultural paradigm that redefines conventional farming practices. Pioneered by Subhash Palekar, ZBNF promotes a harmonious coexistence with nature by minimizing external inputs and eliminating the use of synthetic chemicals. The approach is rooted in indigenous wisdom, emphasizing the use of locally available resources and traditional farming techniques. Through the judicious application of inputs such as Jeevamrut and Bijamrita, ZBNF aims to enhance soil fertility and plant resilience. ZBNF advocates crop diversification,

Comprehensive accounting of carbon emissions and carbon sinks in the agricultural sector is crucial for China to achieve its carbon neutrality goal as early as possible. This paper develops a comprehensive and scientific accounting system to recalculate China’s agriculture sector’s carbon emissions and sinks from 1995 to 2020, taking into account both resource inputs and productive activities. Subsequently, the STIRPAT model is employed to predict alterations in carbon emissions and sinks across different scenarios.

This study introduces a non-parametric approach to estimate the marginal products of agricultural inputs (agricultural land, labor, machinery, fertilizers and pesticides) in Jiangsu province, China. To study the effects of climate change on these marginal products, we used a fixed-effects regression model. The results show an upward trend of inefficiency in Jiangsu’s agricultural production from 2001 to 2018. The marginal products of agricultural land, labor, machinery, chemical fertilizers and pesticides are 1.54 thousand USD per hectare, 0.32 thousand USD per person, 0.31 thousand USD per kW

The use of fertilizers plays an important role in increasing agricultural productivity. However, long-term dependence on chemical fertilizers poses a risk of reducing soil fertility, causing nutrient imbalances, and leading to the accumulation of chemical residues that negatively impact the soil ecosystem. Pandan Wangi Village, which develops the agricultural and livestock sectors side by side, still faces challenges in managing organic waste. This condition leads to environmental pollution and a high dependence on chemical inputs in agriculture. This program aims to reduce the use of chemical
