A Review on Potential use of Bioherbicides for preventing the growth of weed plants
Abstract: Like pests, disease and other hazards weeds are one of the major problems for farmers. They not only compete with crops for water, nutrients, sunlight, and space but also harbor insect and disease pests, clog irrigation and drainage systems undermine crop quality and deposit weed seeds into crop harvests. They can heavily damage the production of crops as well as they reduce the value of land. Weeds can also host …

Zinc -The Miracle Nutrient of Agricultural Crop Production
Abstract: Zinc is involved in most plant growth functions. Zinc helps produce auxins. Zinc is a growth promoting substance that controls the development of the shoot. Zinc also forms enzyme systems, which regulate plant life. Yet zinc is the most common micronutrient deficiency in agriculture today! Zinc deficiency can limit yields of corn, beans, wheat, cotton, sorghum, fruits, and vegetables. Yet, without this essential ounce of zinc no crop would grow …

Humic substances and their importance on plant health and yield
Abstract: Plant growth depends on several factors. Optimum nutrients, water absorption, light quality and intensity, soil structure and fertility and many other factors control plant development. Good quality organic matter present in soil is crucial for soil structure and plant growth. Soils that are equipped with adequate amounts of nutrients viz., nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium; but devoid of humic substances undergo stress and retarded growth. Plants grown in presence of humic substances …
