International Conference on Reimagining Rainfed Agro-ecosystems: Challenges & Opportunities<br />

during 22-24, December 2022 at ICAR-CRIDA, Hyderabad<br />

nitrogen use efficiency followed as BGB-SRF (38.3 %) > MSB-SRF (37.5 %) > LCB-SRF (36.2<br />

%) > PNB-SRF (35.7 %) than fertilizer (22.8 %). After 288 hr <strong>of</strong> incubation the N-P-K nutrient<br />

release from hydrogel-biochar composite varied 36.49-81.37%. Similarly, it exhibited 35.46-<br />

90.83% release <strong>of</strong> N-P-K in soil after 45 days study. The release kinetics fitted by Korsmeyer-<br />

Peppas model illustrates that the n values were 0.5-1.0 (anomalous transport). Utilizing four<br />

different biochars, the average removal rate <strong>of</strong> heavy metal from aqueous solution was 49.5-<br />

66.1%(Cd), 47.3-60.0%(Pb), 45.5-60.6%(Ni), 46.6-60.8%(Zn), 49.3-63.2%(Cu) and 52.7-64.2%<br />

(As) compared with no biochar treatment. Biochar amendment has attracted a fair amount <strong>of</strong><br />

research interest due to its abundant usage and wide potential. Assuming that the science <strong>of</strong><br />

biochar is ‘unambiguously beneficial’, all the scientific community should support the biochar<br />

application for modern science and technological intervension.<br />

Vermicompost is recognized as a high-nutrient bi<strong>of</strong>ertilizer with a range <strong>of</strong> microbial<br />

communities and it considerably increases the growth and yield <strong>of</strong> different field crops,<br />

vegetables, flower and fruit crops. Vermicomposting organic material with earthworms not only<br />

yields the healthiest organic manure but also lessens environmental pollution and health hazards.<br />

The experiment was laid out in a three-replicated randomized block design (RBD) with 3<br />

treatments. The highest production <strong>of</strong> vermicompost was recorded in the T3 (348kg/vermibed).<br />

The production <strong>of</strong> vermicompost in T2 was (340kg/vermibed) followed by T1 <strong>of</strong><br />

(332kg/vermibed). Result revealed that among the different vermicomposting units T3 was<br />

efficient in terms <strong>of</strong> quantity <strong>of</strong> vermicompost harvested. Among the Treatments the highest<br />

Benefit: Cost ratio was recorded in T3 (4.85.1) followed by T2 (4.74.1) and T1(4.63.1).<br />
