Food waste disposal is regarded as a source of contamination in the environment. There is little information on whether food waste compost can be used in agriculture, especially in the subtropics. The study examined the effect of food waste compost on onion
The present study was aimed to investigate the effect of physico-chemical parameters and soil macro-nutrients to know the nutrient uptake status during sowing time (ST) and after the harvesting (AH) of crops of Leh–Ladakh. In this context, total 55 no. of soil samples were collected from
The Himalayan region, a critical freshwater source for South Asia, faces increasing anthropogenic pressures, which impact water quality for domestic and agricultural uses. This study bridges a significant knowledge gap by conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis of 274 studies (2003–24) to evaluate heavy metals (HMs) contamination levels, health
The sustainable use of fruit and vegetable residues (FVRs) in poultry feed formulations has gained considerable attention due to their potential in advancing animal health. FVRs are abundant, cost-effective, and eco-friendly resources, which eventually could replace conventional feed additives. The inclusion of FVRs in
Emerging pollutants (EPs), including pharmaceuticals, pesticides, personal care products, microplastics, nanoparticles, and heavy metals, pose significant environmental threats and are increasingly affecting aquatic organisms. This review consolidates recent findings on how EPs enter aquatic systems through industrial discharges, agricultural runoff, wastewater, and landfill leachate, where they persist, bioaccumulate, and
Traditional disease diagnosis often involves invasive procedures like biopsies or blood draws, which are uncomfortable, costly, and carry risks. However, recent advancements in non-invasive biomarker detection have opened new avenues for diagnosing diseases using accessible biological fluids such as urine. Urine shows great promise as
The Sundarban region located from the Hooghly River in India’s state of West Bengal to the Baleswar River in Bangladesh renowned for its distinctive ecosystem and agricultural techniques, heavily depends on groundwater for irrigation purposes. However, concerns arise regarding the suitability of groundwater for sustainable agriculture in this vulnerable
