TL;DR: In this article, the potential of sugar industry by-products, their availability, and use in agricultural production is reviewed, and a large number of research experiments and literatures have been surveyed and critically analyzed for the effect of sugarcane byproducts on crop productivity and soil properties.
Abstract: Sugarcane industries are age-old industrial practices in India which contribute a significant amount of by-products as waste. Handling and management of these by-products are huge task, because those require lot of space for storage. However, it provides opportunity to utilize these by-products in agricultural crop production as organic nutrient source. Therefore, it is attempted to review the potential of sugar industries by-products, their availability, and use in agricultural production. A large number of research experiments and literatures have been surveyed and critically analyzed for the effect of sugarcane by-products on crop productivity and soil properties. Application of sugar industries by-products, such as press mud and bagasse, to soil improves the soil chemical, physical, and biological properties and enhanced the crop quality and yield. A huge possibility of sugarcane industries by-products can be used in agriculture to cut down the chemical fertilizer requirement. If all the press mud is recycled through agriculture about 32,464, 28,077, 14,038, 3434, 393, 1030, and 240 tonnes (t) of N, P, K, Fe, Zn, Mn, and Cu, respectively, can be available and that helps in saving of costly chemical fertilizers. Application of sugarcane industries by-products reduces the recommended dose of fertilizers and improves organic matter of soil during the crop production. It can also be used in combination with inorganic chemical fertilizers and can be packed and marketed along with commercial fertilizer for a particular cropping system. That helps in reduce the storage problem of sugarcane industries by-products across the India.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of contact time and temperature on the removal of methylene blue (MB) was studied, and the value of the rate constant of adsorption was found to be 1.15 × 10−2 min−1 under optimum conditions.
Abstract: Biosorption of a cationic dye, methylene blue (MB) onto coconut coir activated carbon (CCAC) developed by thermal activation has been investigated. Coconut coir is a byproduct of Coconut based industries. The unusable part of the coconut coir was used to develop activated carbon. The effect of contact time and temperature on the removal of dye was studied. The process of dye removal followed a first-order kinetics, and the value of the rate constant of adsorption was found to be 1.15 × 10−2 min−1 under optimum conditions. Adsorption data was fitted to Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin-Radushkevich adsorption isotherm equations. The thermodynamic studies for the process of removal of dye were carried out, and the parameters, namely, free energy (ΔGo), enthalpy (ΔHo), and entropy (ΔSo) changes, were determined. The removal increased from 74.20 to 93.58% with decrease in concentration of dye from 100 to 60 mg/L at 30 °C, 150 rpm, and pH 5.3. The removal exhibited an increasing trend with increasing t...

TL;DR: A growing body of evidence demonstrates the potential of various microbes to enhance plant productivity and yield in cropping systems, however, the molecular mechanisms underlying these phenomena, the signals involved as well as the potential applications in a sustainable agriculture approach, and the biotechnological aspects for possible rhizosphere engineering are still matters of discussion.
