Revolutionising Himalayan Agriculture: The Magic of Nepalese-Alder Forests

Image
  Imagine a world where forests aren't just pretty backdrops, but vital life-giving forces. A recent study from Jawaharlal Nehru University has revealed a fascinating secret: the type of forest can significantly impact the health of nearby farmland. Researchers found that broadleaf forests, with their wider leaves, are more beneficial to soil health than coniferous forests. These forests promote the growth of beneficial microbes, increase organic matter content, and release essential nutrients, leading to healthier and more productive farms. An Agricultural Farm Near Forest The research, led by Shankar and Garkoti (2024) , published in journal Science of The Total Environment , highlights the pivotal role of Nepalese-alder ( Alnus nepalensis ) forests in enhancing soil quality and nutrient availability. This remarkable improvement is largely attributed to the alder’s nitrogen-fixing capabilities and higher microbial biomass, which contribute to better soil structure...

खाद: प्रकृति का उपहार, हमारी जिम्मेदारी

Image
 खाद का अर्थ होता है, खाद्य पदार्थ (पौधों का भोजन), पौधों को पानी के साथ साथ भोजन की भी आवश्यकता होती है। पौधे अधिकतर भोजन प्रकाश संश्लेषण से प्राप्त करते हैं, लेकिन पोषकतत्व (माइक्रो न्यूट्रेंट) जड़ों के माध्यम से पानी के साथ जमीन से ग्रहण करते हैं। भूमि में जो जैविक कार्बन तत्व होता है वह भूमि में जीवन का आधार होता है। यह भूमि में रहने वाले सभी जीव, जीवाणुओं का भोजन होता है। इससे ही भूमि उपजाऊ बनती है और पौधे पनपते है। रासायनिक खादों की वजह से मिट्टी में यह जैविक कार्बन तत्व कम होता जा रहा है और भूमि बंजर होती जा रही है। रसायनिक खाद रूपी नशा देकर धरती माता का दोहन, बलात्कार किया जा रहा है। एक इंच मिट्टी की परत बनने में हजारों वर्ष लग जाते हैं। दिनों दिन मिट्टी कम होती जा रही है। कुछ मिट्टी को हमने बिल्डिंग, शेड, सड़कों, फुटपाथ के नीचे दबा दिया है, कुछ से हम खनिज लवण, बिल्डिंग मैटेरियल, रेत, कोयला, निकालकर खत्म कर रहे हैं, कुछ से ईंट, मिट्टी के बर्तन बनाकर उसे हमेशा हमेशा के लिए मार दिया हैं। कुछ को रसायनिक केमिकल डालकर, जहरीला करके मार रहे हैं। कुछ को मलबे, प्लास्टिक के ...

Family Drama Beneath Our Feet: Genetic Tug of War in Soil

Image
 In the ever-evolving saga of nature's mysteries, scientists have uncovered a captivating twist in the age-old tale of plants and their soil companions. A recent research by Clark, K. M. et. al., has delved deep into the intricate relationship between these two entities, shining a spotlight on the role of genetic relatedness in shaping their dynamic dance. With Solidago altissima (North American species of Goldenrod ) as their muse, researchers embarked on an enthralling journey to unravel the secrets hidden beneath the earth's surface. Seedlings from a diverse array of parent plants were carefully nurtured, their destinies intertwined with the soil they grew in. Would kinship prove to be a blessing or a curse? The results of this groundbreaking experiment were nothing short of astonishing. Seedlings nestled in soil from their genetic relatives found themselves in a struggle for survival, their growth stunted by the very earth that bore their lineage. Meanwhile, ...
