PublicationArticle Biogeoaccumulation of zinc in hybrid rice (Oryza sativa L.) in an Inceptisol amended with soil zinc application and its bioavailability to human being(Federation of Eurasian Soil Science Societies, 2022) Mohapatra, Kiran Kumar; Singh, Satish Kumar; Patra, Abhik; Jatav, Surendra Singh; Rajput, Vishnu D.; Popova, Victoria; Puzikova, Olesya; Nazarenko, Olga; Sushkova, SvetlanaSoil Zn amended is an efficient agronomical Zn biofortification approach in rice. However, it is still need to know if higher rate of Zn over recommended dose can influence other essential nutrient uptake, high accumulation of Zn in soils and health risk for human consumption. This study was conducted by taking ten treatments (T1: control, T2: RDF, T3: RDF + 1.25 mg kg-1, T4: RDF + 2.5 mg kg-1, T5: RDF + 3.75 mg kg-1, T6: RDF + 5 mg kg-1, T7: RDF + 6.25 mg kg-1, T8: RDF + 7.5 mg kg-1, T9: RDF + 8.75 mg kg-1, T10: RDF + 10 mg kg-1) on hybrid rice in Zn (1.20 mg kg-1) enriched soil. The findings have shown that 6.25 mg kg-1 Zn application significantly increased crop growth and grain concentrations of N, K, Zn, Cu and Fe by 71.4, 125, 78.9, 28.5 and 2.4%, respectively. Nutrient harvest index was significantly affected by ranged between 29.1�36.4%. Application of Zn at 6.25 mg kg-1 (T7) recorded the highest Zn concentration in grain (28.2 mg kg-1) and bioavailability of the fortified Zn (2.05 mg Zn day-1). The lowest phytatic acid concentration in grain was recorded in T8 (RDF + Zn at 7.5 mg kg-1) and after that a significant increase was observed. Transfer coefficient was inversely behaving with Zn application and ranged between 6.03�18.0 grain. The average daily intake of Zn was ranged between 0.075�0.118 mg-1 kg-1 day. Across different treatments the Zn build-up factor, geo-accumulation index and soil enrichment factor was ranged between 0.98�4.90,-0.61�1.70 and 0.24�1.82, respectively in post-harvest soil. In conclusion, agronomic biofortification of Zn through soil applications at 6.25 mg Zn kg-1 was a sustainable way to improving growth and grain Zn, N, K, Cu and Fe uptake of hybrid rice to meet human recruitment. � 2022 Federation of Eurasian Soil Science Societies.

But in spite of the relatively high total contents, micronutrient deficiencies have been frequently reported in many crops due to low levels of available micronutrients in soils. Based on the critical limits followed in different states of India, the status of the micronutrients deficiencies was assessed in different soils under the leadership of ICAR All India Coordinated Research Project on Micro- and Secondary Nutrients and Pollutant Elements in Soils and Plants (AICRP-MSPE). In addition to single micronutrient deficiencies, multimicronutrient deficiencies have emerged in different areas of the country over the years, posing a threat to the sustainability of agriculture. Various diagnostic procedures for micronutrients deficiency in soil and plants have been briefly discussed in this paper. In total 1421 field experiments were conducted on specific crops to determine the critical nutrient concentration of different micronutrients. Based on field experiments and crop response to micronutrients, generalized transition zones were worked out for different nutrients across the soil types. Various factors affecting micronutrients availability in soil and deficiency symptoms of micronutrients have been discussed along with their mitigation strategies. Hence this paper represents the current status of micronutrients in Indian soil with emerging solutions for micronutrient deficiency. � 2022 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc.PublicationBook chapter Ecological aspects of the soil-water-plant-atmosphere system(Elsevier, 2021) Rekwar, Ravindra Kumar; Patra, Abhik; Jatav, Hanuman Singh; Singh, Satish Kumar; Mohapatra, Kiran Kumar; Kundu, Arnab; Dutta, Asik; Trivedi, Ankita; Sharma, Laimayum Devarishi; Anjum, Mohsina; Anil, Ajin S.; Sahoo, Sanjib KumarThe soil-water-plant-atmosphere system (SWPAS) is a �physically integrated, dynamic system in which interacting processes of mass and energy are performed.� The SWPAS system is comprised of four different components with varying physical and chemical properties that ultimately poses a complex mechanism. Water stress is primarily caused due to nonuniform precipitation. The exhaustion of this reservoir by a crop requires its artificial reloading, which is the case of irrigation. Soil moisture has been shown to have major implications for carbon storage and related climatic feedbacks. Therefore, it is more important than ever to understand how the flow of water interacts with ecosystem health and the mechanisms controlling water fluxes at the land-atmosphere interface. Atmosphere acts as an upper buffer that takes up, transforms, and protects water, as a substance, in the climatic system. The soil-plant-atmosphere continuum (SPAC) is the pathway for water moving from soil through plants to the atmosphere. Movement of water occurs in response to differences in the potential energy of water. The flow path of water through SPAC is complex with a series of resistances offered by different components of the system. Different atmospheric, plant canopy, and soil factors affect the water flow through SPAC. With increasing water scarcity, improvement in crop water productivity will be vital in terms of food security for the future generation. As a result, the effect of soil-plant-atmosphere interactions on how ecosystems respond to and exert influence on, the global environment remains difficult to predict. � 2022 Elsevier Inc.

Multifaceted functional groups with stable C-matrix can serve as a superior carrier for essential nutrients, thereby revamping nutrient use efficiency (NUE). Apart from NUE, engineered biochar’s are excellent as an alternative to fight against climate change and sequester atmospheric carbon-di-oxide (CO2). It improves soil aeration and prevents the formation of methane (CH4). Also, researchers reported a high C:N ratio in modified biochar combat nitrous oxide emission by (N2O) curtailing greenhouse gas (GHG) emission. But, due to constraints from production technology and the environmental applications point of view scientists have tried different avenues like co-composting, co-pyrolysis or introducing polymers for making biochar-based slow-release fertilizer (BSRF), but loopholes are still there. However, long-term on-field evaluation, production feasibility and sustainability need to be studied extensively besides manufacturing and characterizing these biochar-based products. Therefore, in this present chapter, an endeavor has been made to summarize important aspects of engineered biochar’s like production technology and physiochemical properties. Also, a detailed discussion has been made regarding the application of engineered biochar to improve nutrient use efficacy and combat climate change. Therefore, in a nutshell for sustainable agriculture and climate change mitigation, engineered biochars are potent options in years to come. © 2024 by Elsevier Inc.

Across the globe and specifically in India, with the advent of the green revolution, the need for synthetic N fertilizers increased exponentially with the crop production trends. But, applying an enormous volume of N fertilizers has boundless pessimistic impacts, and cutting-edge technologies such as enhanced efficiency nitrogen fertilizers (EENFs) are an upstanding approach. The EENFs (limited release and balanced urea-based N fertilizers) have synchronized release of N as per crop need leading to enhanced efficacy and lessening the losses in contrast to conventional urea. EENFs with substantiating enhanced efficiency is emerging as intelligent formulations compared to an appropriate reference in reducing the probable nutrient losses to the surroundings by regulating the momentum of release or soil fertilizer transformation dynamics. The augmented expenditure of more frequently used soluble N fertilizers improved crop performance; the speed of environmental impairment related to N application prompted us for EENFs. This manuscript has outlined EENFs with a particular emphasis on constituent, its classification schemes and the mode of action implicated in N release, soil factors affecting its efficient use, and delineation of the performance of EENFs on crop productivity under varied agroecosystems in greater detail. In a nutshell, it can be said that EENFs could be an effective strategy to mitigate environmental degradation while sustaining crop yield. Still, their judicious use warrants exclusion of any fertilizer mismanagement, addiction, and implementing knowledge-based N management practices.

Different soil types were treated uniformly with lead (20 mg Pb kg?1 soil), cadmium (5 mg Cd kg?1 soil), chromium (30 mg Cr kg?1 soil) and nickel (10 mg Ni kg?1 soil). Completely randomized design (CRD) was used with three replications. African marigold (Tagetes erecta) recorded ?89.4% more dry matter yield over French marigold (Tagetes patula) when grown under metals treated soils. Both the marigold species were highly effective for removing Cd and Ni from contaminated soils (TF >1) however, Ni (TF ?14.9) was more efficiently accumulated by T. patula and Cd (TF ?12.1) by T. erecta. Higher biomass yield in T. erecta resulted higher accumulation of heavy metals (except Cr) compared to T. patula. Assessment of contamination factor (CF) and geo-accumulation index (Igeo) of heavy metals indicates that post-harvest soils had moderate to high degree of contamination by different metals, Cr being the highest. It may be concluded that T. erecta was more efficient in extracting heavy metals from different heavy metals contaminated soils. Novelty statement Contamination of land with heavy metals poses severe environmental threats. Physical and chemical remediation techniques are generally used for remediating metals contaminated sites. These methods are cost-intensive and therefore, commercially non-viable, besides being disruptive in nature and causing deterioration of soil. Alternatively, bio-remediation techniques are cost-effective and environment friendly. Among the various phytoremediation techniques, hyperaccumulator plants are most commonly used for the remediation of the contaminated sites. It has been found that different species of the same plant (marigold) differ in their ability to accumulate metals under various contaminated soils having different properties. Thus, this experiment provided an unique opportunity to investigate the effect of various soil properties on metal accumulation efficacy of marigold under metal-spiked soils. Marigold plants can grow rapidly by developing a robust root system which helps them to survive under contaminated soil environment. Thus, marigold being ornamental plant could be used to decontaminate polluted sites while providing ornamental value and may serve as a source of commercially valuable products extracting metals from biomass by way of incineration. However, meager information is available about the usage of various marigold species for phytoremediation of heavy metals under different metal-polluted soils. In the current experiment, we intend to evaluate the potential use of two different marigold species (Tagetes patula and Tagetes erecta) in remediating heavy metals under nine soils of different nature spiked with metals and assessing heavy metals pollution load indexes in these polluted soils. � 2021 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.PublicationArticle Influence of varying levels of zinc on yield and zinc biofortification in hybrid rice (Oryza sativa l.) grown in moderate zinc soil(Indian journals, 2021) Mohapatra, Kiran Kumar; Singh, Satish Kumar; Patra, Abhik[No abstract available]PublicationBook chapter Iron in the soil-plant-human continuum(Elsevier, 2021) Patra, Abhik; Sharma, Vinod Kumar; Jatav, Hanuman Singh; Dutta, Asik; Rekwar, Ravindra Kumar; Chattopadhyay, Arghya; Trivedi, Ankita; Mohapatra, Kiran Kumar; Anil, Ajin S.Iron (Fe) is essential for plants and animals and it is the fourth most common element and second most common metal in the Earth�s crust. In cultivated soils, Fe is mostly present in the Fe3+ and Fe2+ forms under oxic and anoxic environments, respectively. Iron should be present in the range >10-7.7 M in soil solution with a redox potential of soil-root environments under <12 to avoid its deficiency. The accessibility of Fe to plants is influenced by soil reaction, soil organics, aeration of the soil, presence or absence of other macro- and micronutrients, etc. Iron is required for the biogenesis and functioning of chlorophyll, energy transmission, metabolism of cells, fixation of nitrogen (N), and respiration of plants. Deficiency symptoms of Fe are first seen as the yellowish color between leaf veins, especially in young leaves, which could result in the necrosis at a later stage. Available soil test methods are not very effective in assessing available Fe in soils, whereas Fe2+ content in soil is a reasonably good predictor of plant Fe status. The supply of iron sulfate to the soil proved to be successful to eradicate Fe deficiency only when used along with compost and manure. As a comparison to soil application, foliar application of Fe had a major advantage to rectify its deficiency. To increase Fe level in edible parts of crops, agricultural techniques (e.g., agronomic biofortification and genetic biofortification) seem to be economic and efficient. The path to genetic biofortification is a long-term method that needs significant energy and money, but agronomic biofortification provides a simple solution to the overwhelming Fe deficiency problem. � 2021 Elsevier Inc.

The limited availability of arable land and water resources has made this challenge even bigger. Recent research-based studies depict that, in many developing countries, poor soil fertility, lower availability of mineral nutrients in soil, improper nutrient management, along with the lack of plant genotypes having high tolerance to nutrient deficiencies or toxicities are major constraints leading to food insecurity, malnutrition (i.e., micronutrient deficiencies), and degradation of ecosystem. It has been stated that 60% of our cultivated soils have growth-limiting problems with deficiencies and toxicities of available mineral nutrients. About 50% of the world population suffers from micronutrient deficiencies that make mineral nutrition studies a major promising area in meeting the global demand for sufficient food production with enhanced nutritional value. Integration of plant adaptation strategies in such soils using genetics and plant breeding and molecular biology is indispensable in developing plant genotypes with high genetic potential to acclimatize such nutrient-deficient and toxic soil conditions to translocate more micronutrients into edible plant parts such as cereal grains. Thus, plant nutrition research provides invaluable information, which is highly useful in elimination of these constraints, and leads to sustain the food security and well-being of humans without harming the environment. Keeping all these points in mind this chapter helps in understanding the mechanisms and strategies of plant in nutrient-deficient and toxic soil conditions. � 2022 Elsevier Inc.

The growth of crops species is becoming more vulnerable due to the climate now. The living ecosystem of every creature depends on the climate. Climate change is the prime threat to the sustainability of our ecosystem and continuous emission of the greenhouse gases is making it more perilous. As a consequence, an unanticipated shift in the dynamics of plant-soil cross-talk is encountered. Nevertheless, gradual escalation of mean earth surface temperature can potentially curtail the duration of the growth period, yield, and water productivity. Every major crop are expected to decline due to erratic precipitation and higher water demands under elevated temperature. In this chapter, we mainly highlight the impact of fluctuating climatic elements on terrestrial flora, edaphic conditions, and their mutual interactions. Surging air temperature is detrimental for the soil carbon stock and its depletion hampers the rhizospheric processes, biochemical cycles, and ultimately affects plant species. We have also discussed different processes involved in plant-soil interactions at different stages of primary or secondary succession. � 2021 Elsevier Inc.

A pot experiment was conducted on the soil of previous season pot study, wherein Ni and zinc (Zn) were applied with recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF). This study with cowpea as test crop was conducted on residual level of Ni in soil along with the application of RDF and Zn. The result showed significant increase in plant height, greenness index, number of branches, number of pods plant?1, number of seed pod?1, stover yield, seed yield, and weight of 100 seed of cowpea. All these attributes were highest at 10�mg Ni kg?1 applied in the previous crop along with Zn at the rate of 10�mg�kg?1 in the current experiment (T10). The concentration of iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), and Zn in grain and stover significantly increased up to 10�mg�kg?1 residual Ni (T10), and beyond this, a reduction in concentration was observed. The behavior of these elements with respect to uptake in both grain and stover was similar as that of their concentration. The urease activity and available N content in post-harvest soil increased as the residual Ni content in the soil increased. � 2022, The Author(s) under exclusive licence to Sociedad Chilena de la Ciencia del Suelo.PublicationBook chapter Rhizodeposition: An Unseen Teaser of Nature and Its Prospects in Nutrients Dynamics(Springer Nature, 2021) Patra, Abhik; Sharma, Vinod Kumar; Chattopadhyay, Arghya; Mohapatra, Kiran Kumar; Rakshit, AmitavaRhizodeposition is defined as all root-derived compounds and plant materials that are released from living roots during plant growth. A wide range of organic compounds are involved in this process, including inorganic ions, sloughed cells, mucilages, exudates and root hairs. Rhizodeposition has diverse functions in plant nutrition and soil ecology, such as improving nutrient availability, acting as allelochemicals, and serving as a carbon and energy source for rhizosphere soil microorganisms. It is mainly quantified through tracer techniques like carbon tracer technique, labeling plants with N15 and dwell labeling technique but, scientific review suggested that cotton wick method is the best technique for quantification. The rhizodeposition plays a crucial role for the mobilization of plant nutrients and serves a complex mixture to carry out ecological functions in the soil. It has been extensively reported that plants invest a large portion of their photosynthetic carbon in the development and maintenance of the rhizosphere through rhizodeposits), which improves the ability to optimally exploit water and nutrient distributions in the soil. Concentration of rhizodeposits has direct effect on C and N mineralization. Different organic acids and phenolic compounds present in rhizodeposition help in increasing different exoenzymes activity, which ultimately increase the mineralization of native, applied and fixed nutrients in soil. Plant root secretes phytosiderophores which improve the micronutrients uptake in plant. In nut shell, through understanding the relationship between rhizodeposits and its function, the insight information of change in microbial diversity and different nutrients transformation process can better understand. � The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2021.PublicationArticle Sewage sludge amendment affects spinach yield, heavy metal bioaccumulation, and soil pollution indexes(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2021) Swain, Adyasha; Singh, Satish Kumar; Mohapatra, Kiran Kumar; Patra, AbhikUse of sewage sludge (SS) in crop production is a feasible strategy for its disposal; however, its application may pose an adverse impact on soil and human health. Therefore, identification of the permissible level of SS is essential to prevent soil contamination. This research not only evaluated the impact of SS application on spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) biomass yield but also tracked the accumulation of heavy metals in soil and plants. A pot experiment was conducted on Inceptisol with different levels of SS (0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, and 40 t ha?1) with recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF). The applications of SS at 20 t ha?1 resulted in the highest biomass yield; however, the concentration of zinc (Zn) and cadmium (Cd) has exceeded the safe limit in leaves. Heavy metal accumulation in the plant was the highest in SS at 40 t ha?1. Spinach grown at 20 t ha?1 and higher dose of SS exceeded the safe limit of Zn and Cd concentration in leaves, and the translocation factor (TF) of lead (Pb) and Cd was found to be > 1. The hazard quotient (HQ) of Pb > 1 at higher doses of SS indicates health hazard if spinach is used for consumption. Assessment of health risk showed that there was a possibility of Pb hazard at a high dose of SS (HI > 1). Evaluation of various soil pollution indexes revealed that the addition of SS enhanced the buildup of Cd and chromium (Cr) in soil. This study advocated the use of SS at 10 t ha?1 to sustain soil quality with no risk of food chain contamination. � 2021, Saudi Society for Geosciences.PublicationBook chapter Socio Economic Aspects of Sewage Sludge Use in Agriculture(Springer International Publishing, 2022) Gulzar, Shabana; Gul, Shafiqa; Patra, Abhik; Mohapatra, Kiran Kumar; Jatav, Hanuman Singh; Rajput, Vishnu D.The sewage sludge is being globally used for agricultural purposes since decades. The worldwide water crisis, a scarcity of fresh water, and, of course, the need to dispose of massive amounts of wastewater created by households and industry are all grounds for using wastewater in agriculture. Wastewater is a complicated resource that has both benefits and drawbacks. It has the potential to be extremely helpful to farming communities and society as a whole. It ensures a constant supply of water to farmers for crop production, aids in soil nutrient conservation, decreasing the need for artificial fertilizers, enhances crop yields and returns from farming, and is a cost-effective and low-budget form of wastewater disposal. The production of wastewater and its reuse has shown a rapid increase with increase in water shortage in many regions of the world, due to expanding population and industrial as well as urban expansion. As industries have grown in urban areas, the structure and content of wastewater has shifted from being primarily organic to containing increasingly hazardous components such as heavy metals and other chemicals. Hence wastewater use can also inflict harmful impacts on communities using this resource and on ecosystems in general. The extensive use of wastewater containing toxic wastes is likely to spread harmful wastewater-borne diseases, more rapid degradation of the environment as well as social issues. Traditionally, issues of efficiency, safety, and cost effectiveness have driven wastewater management techniques. However, there is still a need to apply a uniform technique that takes into account all sociological and economic factors and leads to better wastewater management practices. A paradigm shift is therefore the need of the hour, not only to mitigate the damage to the ecosystems, but also to emphasize the long-term usage of wastewater as a resource that requires proper management in order to ensure future water security. � The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022.
