    Soil science and agriculture is an Educational Platform. Here I will provide you only interesting content related to agriculture, which you will like very much. I am dedicated to providing you the best educational blocks related to soil science, agriculture, pesticides, food safety, food quality, and other agriculture-related information. I am working to turn our passion for education into a booming online platform. I hope you enjoy our blogs as much as I enjoy offering them to you.

    I will keep posting more important posts related to soil science and agriculture on this platform for all of you. Please give your support and love.

Thanks For Visiting...

Have a nice day!

Green Chemistry: Adoption and Implementation Approaches in Agrochemical Sector

       Anastas coined the term "Green Chemistry" for the first time in 1991, in a special program created by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to stimulate significant development in chemistry and chemical technology. The program also aimed to change chemists' perspectives on environmental protection by focusing on lower risks or their complete elimination in terms of human health. Green chemistry is a chemical research and engineering philosophy that involves the development of products and processes that reduce the use and generation of hazardous chemicals (Pereira, 2020). Unlike environmental chemistry, which studies pollutant chemicals and their effects on the environment, green chemistry seeks to reduce pollution at its source. Green chemistry entails reducing waste at the source, using catalysts instead of reagents, using non-toxic reagents, using renewable resources, increasing atom efficiency, and using solvent-free or recyclable environmentally friendl

Household Techniques for Pesticide Residues Removal from Fruits and Vegetables

     Pesticides are chemical or biological agents that are employed in agricultural food production to protect cultivated plants from harmful sources such as weeds, plant diseases, and insects. Pesticides play a delicate role in agriculture because they are needed to protect crops, but they may also be hazardous to the environment and people's health. Pesticides are frequently used in today's agricultural ecosystem to meet the increased demand for food and fiber. Pesticides are now required for pest management in crops, particularly fruits and vegetables. Following the harvest of raw agricultural products, the subsequent handling, storage, and processing have a significant impact on the amount of pesticide residues found in food.      If food costs rise and pesticide residues in agricultural products don't stop, fresh fruits and vegetables may soon become a luxury for people who can afford chemical-free and organic goods. Effective enforcement of appropriate agricultural an

STCR approach for precision agriculture

  The science of using front-line sensor and analysis systems to enhance crop yields and support management decisions is known as precision agriculture. A novel idea called precision agriculture has increased widespread recognition in order to boost output, shorten labor hours, and assurance efficient fertilizer and irrigation management. It makes widespread use of data and information to raise crop yields and quality while better utilizing agricultural resources. With the introduction of the “green revolution” during the 1960s high yielding varieties and hybrids were introduced, and thereby application of higher doses of fertilizers was initiated. By interpretation of soil test ratings, the soil testing laboratories adjusted fertilizer recommendations by increasing and decreasing the recommendation level by 30-50 percent based on low or high fertility levels. Even though it is a good method, it cannot be generalized for all crops and all soils. In order to achieve higher and sustained
