  Making manure in your kitchen can be a simple and effective way to recycle organic waste and create a nutrient-rich fertilizer for your plants. Here are the steps to make manure in your kitchen: Collect organic waste: Collect vegetable and fruit scraps, coffee grounds, tea leaves, eggshells, and other plant-based materials from your kitchen. Avoid adding meat, dairy, or oily food scraps as they can attract pests and create odor problems. Prepare a container: Find a suitable container with a lid that can hold the organic waste. You can use a plastic or metal container, a compost bin, or a worm bin. Add bedding material: Add bedding material such as shredded newspaper, dried leaves, straw, or sawdust to the container.

Agricultural products are the most traded commodities in the world, with billions of tons of goods traded globally every year. The largest producer of agricultural products in the world is China, followed by the United States, Brazil, India, and Russia. The world's oldest active farm is the 1,000-year-old Shirakawa-go Gassho-style village in Japan. The first crop to be grown in space was wheat, in 2015. Astronauts aboard the International Space Station grew and harvested the wheat as part of an experiment. Ancient farmers in South America used llama and alpaca dung as fertilizer. The dung is rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which are essential nutrients for plant growth. The average dairy cow produces enough milk in one day to make 3-4 pounds of cheese. Over 95% of the world's rice is eaten in the country where it is grown. The world's largest exporter of coffee is Brazil, followed by Vietnam and Colombia. Bees are crucial to agriculture, pollinating around 70% ...

Five facts about Agriculture which will make you think twice...........!!!!!

Image
  Agriculture is a significant contributor to climate change: Agriculture is responsible for approximately 14% of global greenhouse gas emissions, primarily from livestock and the production of fertilizers. The use of fossil fuels in agriculture, including transportation and processing, also contributes to emissions. Soil degradation is a growing problem: Soil degradation is the loss of soil quality and productivity due to human activities such as overuse, deforestation, and the use of agrochemicals. It is estimated that around one-third of the world's soil is degraded, and this problem is expected to worsen as demand for food increases. Agriculture has a major impact on water resources: Agriculture is one of the largest users of water globally, accounting for around 70% of all freshwater withdrawals. The intensive use of water for irrigation can lead to depletion of water resources and increased salinization of soils. The global food system is highly dependent on a small number o...

PGPR: Compliment to Traditional farming

Image
  PGPR (Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria) is a group of beneficial bacteria that colonize the roots of plants and promote plant growth and development. Traditional farming practices include a range of activities such as tillage, crop rotation, intercropping, and the use of fertilizers and pesticides. These practices have evolved over time to suit the needs of different regions and crops and are often based on centuries of knowledge and experience. They are an essential part of the agricultural system and help to ensure food security and sustainable crop production. PGPR can be used in conjunction with traditional farming practices to help reduce the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, improve soil health and fertility, and enhance crop resilience to biotic and abiotic stresses. DISEASE RESISTANCE Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) have been shown to enhance disease resistance in plants through a variety of mechanisms. These bacteria can produce antimicrobial c...
