No-till and mulching enhance energy use efficiency and reduce carbon footprint of a direct-seeded upland rice production system
Gulab Singh Yadav,Subhash Babu,Subhash Babu,Anup Das,K.P. Mohapatra,K.P. Mohapatra,Raghavendra Singh,R. K. Avasthe,Saptamita Roy +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a hypothesis was formulated that no-till (NT) cultivation along with mulching can provide an environmentally clean crop production practice that can enhance energy use efficiency, economic profitability, and reduce the carbon footprint.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of land configuration and organic nutrient management on productivity, quality and soil properties under baby corn in Eastern Himalayas.
Subhash Babu,Raghavendra Singh,R. K. Avasthe,Gulab Singh Yadav,Anup Das,Vinod Singh,K.P. Mohapatra,S.S. Rathore,Puran Chandra,Amit Kumar +9 more
TL;DR: The study suggests that the broad bed and furrow land configuration along with the combined application of farmyard manure + vermicompost could be an economically feasible practice for quality organic baby corn production and soil health improvement in the Eastern Himalaya.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biochar as Carbon Negative in Carbon Credit under Changing Climate
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil carbon dynamics in diverse organic land use systems in North Eastern Himalayan ecosystem of India
Subhash Babu,Subhash Babu,K.P. Mohapatra,Gulab Singh Yadav,Rattan Lal,Raghavendra Singh,R. K. Avasthe,Anup Das,Puran Chandra,B. A. Gudade,Amit Kumar +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of land use management on soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics was analyzed in the Sikkim Himalayan region of NEH, India, and other similar regions of the world, and it was shown that the cultivation of maize and/or ginger is more degrading and will always have a negative impact on the fertility and overall health of the Himalayan soil.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crop productivity, soil health, and energy dynamics of Indian Himalayan intensified organic maize-based systems
Raghavendra Singh,Subhash Babu,R. K. Avasthe,Gulab Singh Yadav,Gulab Singh Yadav,Anup Das,K.P. Mohapatra,Amit Kumar,Vinod Singh,Puran Chandra +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the sustainability of prevailing maize-fallow system in rainfed ecosystems of the Eastern Himalayan region (EHR) of India is often questioned due to poor economic return and negative impact on soil health.
