Agricultural Waste : Threats and Technologies for Sustainable Management
This volume focuses on tackling the harmful impact of agricultural waste with the use of sustainable practices bio-techniques and new technologies that either make use of the waste as a raw material or convert the waste into a useful resource that can help achieve environmental sustainability. The agriculture sector is one of the major producers of waste around the world. These wastes are produced at various stages of the various processes in the agricultural industry. Agricultural practices such as mechanical tillage mono-cropping application of agro-chemicals irrigation with waste and industrial waters affect soil health and productivity. The resulting agricultural wastes can have a deleterious impact on the different components of the environment resulting in harmful problems that pose a huge risk to ecological stability. The book investigates the sources and impacts of agri-waste on the environment and goes on to offer effective techniques processes and sustainable practices that can be implemented for effective agricultural waste management. Chapters also discuss a selection of innovative engineering-based technologies. The volume includes discussions of many remediation techniques such as the use of biofertilizers biocontrol agents vermicomposting green chemistry microbial interventions and more. The book explores the various uses of agri-waste with special emphasis on their applications in the plant-soil system. This book is a valuable reference source for academicians professionals researchers students and policymakers who are interested in the innovative management of the agricultural waste. | Agricultural Waste Threats and Technologies for Sustainable Management
