ATTRA is the national sustainable agriculture information service operated by the National Center for Appropriate Technology. This document provides information on organic soybean production, including recommended crop rotations, cover crops, use of livestock manures and composts, and weed, insect and disease management strategies without synthetic pesticides. Organic soybean yields are typically comparable to conventional, while production costs may be lower. Premium prices for organic soybeans provide incentive for farmers to transition to organic.
Impact of nitrogen fertilizer from organic and conventional sources on seed y...Innspub Net
Niger (Guizotia abyssinica Cass.), a minor oil seed crop cultivated on marginal and sub marginal lands under poor or neglected nutrient management practices in India has a good production potential even under low nutrient input conditions. However, not much study has been made on nutrient management practices for optimising plant growth and thereby seed yield. The study was undertaken to determine the growth and seed yield response of Niger to different nitrogen sources in rainfed acid lateritic uplands. Nitrogen was applied through chemical (Urea) and organic sources (Vermicompost, Mustardoilcake and Bonemeal) separately and in combination of these at two levels (30 and 60 kg ha-1) in consecutive two years (2013-’14 and 2014-’15). Maximum seed yield (580 kg ha-1) and dry matter yield (4530 kg ha-1) of Niger were obtained where oilcake was applied in combination with chemical nutrients. However, varying sources or level of nitrogenous nutrients had no impact on oil content in seeds of Niger. Among the various sources of Nitrogen, combination of oilcake and chemical provided sufficient amount of Nitrogen to the soil which was observed through highest uptake as well as leftover available Nitrogen in soil.

Rice is the major cereal crop in Asia where 90% of the world’s rice is produced and consumed. Rice production and productivity need to keep pace with a growing global population likely to reach 9 billion by 2050 in order to have a hunger-free world and to ensure sustainable production in the face of depleting resources such as land, water and nutrients as well as changing climatic conditions.

Wheat (Tritium aestivum) is the primary food of Pakistan.Salinity is a blockade towards growing a sustainable food production system and necessitates environment management. Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria can ameliorate abiotic stressors through induced salt tolerance. PGPR having ACC deaminase activity can improve plant performance by minimizing the effects of ACC and endogenous ethylene that limit plant growth under salt stress. Plants grown from seeds inoculated with PGPR strains having ACC deaminase are comparatively more tolerant to salt stress. The study was carried out at Soil Salinity Research Institute, PindiBhattian to investigate the impact of PGPR (Plant growth promoting Rhizobacteria) on wheat grown in salt affected field. The design was Randomized complete block with three replications. Wheat seeds Cv. Faisalbad-2008 were inoculated with rhizobacteria strains which were: Thal-8, WM-14 and WM-10 during 2015-16 Inoculation with rhizobial strains that provide ACC-deaminase activity proved a useful move toward for alleviating the stress induced by ethylene and accordingly improving the growth and yield of wheat in the presence of high salinity stress. Decline in sodium uptake following seed inoculation with different rhizobial strains for wheat grown on salt- affected lands is a constructive possibility to reclaim salt stress biologically.

To meet our food security demands, Papua New Guinea (PNG) needs to improve smallholder subsistence agriculture by promoting the production of cash crops that mature early and have a high market value. Peanut is a typical example of a cash crop which potentially has a high market value, but pod yields are low due to declinein soil quality. A field experiment was conducted under 4 different land use systems (LUS) to evaluate the effects of continuous peanut cultivation on peanut pod yield and on selected soil properties. Peanut pod yield declined significantly under the continuous peanut and peanut/corn rotation systems; while the poultry manure and land fallow systems significantly increased pod yield. Over the 3 cropping seasons, significant changes in organic carbon; extractable potassium and CEC in all cropping systems occurred, while changes in total N was significant in the peanut/corn rotation and poultry manure cropping systems only. No significant changes in bulk density; field capacity; electrical conductivity; soil pH and available phosphorus were observed in all the 4 LUS over the 3 cropping seasons. We suggest that adequate fallow periods of more than 1 year and poultry manures are applied to enhance soil quality and improve peanut productivity and/or sustain peanut production in marginal lands under continuous cultivation

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. //ORGANIC SOYBEAN PRODUCTIONPAGE 2
U.S. locations is alfalfa, though other legumes are also effective. Well-established alfalfa, left in
place for two or more years, can supply a high level of biologically fixed nitrogen for subsequent,
non-leguminous crops.
Non-forage legumes, including soybeans, are moderate nitrogen-fixers. However, most of the
nitrogen is removed with the harvested portion of the crop, leaving little residual nitrogen for sub-
sequent crops. This is not to downplay soybeans’ contribution to nitrogen fertility; the subsequent
crop often exhibits some residual benefit. (One traditional rule of thumb suggests that there is a
residual nitrogen gain of only 1 lb. nitrogen for each bushel of harvested soybean yield.) The key
point of this discussion is that soybeans should not be considered an equal substitute for legume
forages in standard rotations.
To get a good idea of how to design crop rotations for optimum fertility and pest management,
see the enclosed article “Planning Crop Rotations.”
Cover Crops & Green Manures
Growing and incorporating green manures is another means of improving soil fertility for soy-
beans and other main crops. This traditional practice had fallen out of favor, as farmers felt they
could not afford to skip a season of cash cropping for the benefit of soil improvement. The practice
has been revived in recent years, however, as interplanting and winter cover-cropping strategies
have emerged. These allow the grower to use cover crops with minimal disruption of the cash-crop
cycle. For additional information on cover crops, see ATTRA’s Overview of Cover Crops & Green
Manures.
Some cover-cropping schemes use ridge-till and reduced-tillage planting strategies: the winter
cover crop is either winter-killed or mechanically killed and the following crop is planted in the
residue. For more information on this topic, request ATTRA’s Pursuing Conservation Tillage Systems
for Organic Crop Production.
Livestock Manures
Farms producing livestock and farms that are in proximity to confinement operations have the
advantage of access to animal wastes, which contain major nutrients and organic matter. Proper
application and soil incorporation of fresh manure ensures the maximum capture and delivery of
nitrogen to the crop. That’s why manure is often applied prior to corn planting in crop rotations.
There are several important considerations in the use of fresh manure. For more information,
request the ATTRA publication Manures for Organic Crop Production.
Composting is a means of stabilizing and enhancing livestock wastes for storage, in order to
avoid certain problems inherent in applying fresh manure. Composts, though lower in total nitro-
gen, are a more balanced fertilizer and are more useful in building soil fertility over time. For
additional information on composting, request ATTRA’s Farm-scale Composting Resource List. ATTRA
also has information on Biodynamic™ composting and Controlled Microbial Composting™.
The Benefits of an Organic System
Crop rotation, cover cropping, green manuring, use of livestock manure, and composting con-
tribute much more to the whole agroecosystem than may be readily apparent. By adding organic
matter and stimulating biological activity in the soil, these practices make mineral nutrients more
available to plants, generate the microbial production of plant-beneficial chemicals (e.g., strepto-
mycin), and improve the soil’s tilth. Spreading livestock manure, in particular, cycles essential
macro- and micro-nutrients back onto the fields.
Rock Minerals—Lime
Because manures are imbalanced fertilizers, and because not all soils are equally rich in native
fertility, organic farmers often need to import supplementary nutrients to ensure balanced crop
nutrition. These inputs are commonly in the form of moderately priced, minimally processed rock
powders.
3. //ORGANIC SOYBEAN PRODUCTION PAGE 3
The most commonly used rock powders in organic systems are various agricultural liming ma-
terials. By definition, agricultural lime is used to neutralize the acidity of soils and to provide plant
nutrients—mostly calcium and magnesium. There is considerable disagreement in agronomic circles
as to which liming materials are most appropriate under various circumstances. Of greatest con-
cern is the possible overuse of dolomite or dolomitic lime, which contains high percentages of mag-
nesium relative to calcium. It is believed that soil magnesium buildup has detrimental effects on soil
structure, and that soils with excessive magnesium produce nutritionally imbalanced livestock feed.
A common approach to liming—one popular among many organic growers—measures the
ratios of positively charged ions in the soil. This is known as the Albrecht or CEC (Cation Exchange
Capacity) System. It is based on the philosophy that the primary reason to add lime is to supply
essential nutrients and that soil acidity will reach a desired level when all minerals are present in
proper balance. Overuse of dolomitic lime is avoided with this approach. The more conventional
approach is based largely on supplying lime as a neutralizing agent; nutrient ratios are generally
ignored.
Lime and other rock mineral powders should only be applied with the guidance provided by
soil testing. To determine what sort of recommendation one will receive from a soil testing labora-
tory, it is often necessary to ask in advance. A list of laboratories that use the Albrecht System is
provided in the ATTRA publication Alternative Soil Testing Laboratories.
Rock Minerals—Other Major Sources
When supplementary phosphates are required in an organic system, they are usually supplied
as rock phosphate. Rock phosphates are generally classified as one of two types: hard-rock or
colloidal soft-rock phosphate. Hard-rock phosphate is available from several geological sources
and varies considerably in appearance and soil reactivity. North Carolina Black Rock Phosphate®
is one brand that has a reputation for performance in the field and is easy to handle.
Soft-rock or colloidal phosphate is a dried clay-based by-product of hard-rock mining. Al-
though powdery and difficult to handle, it has a good reputation as a phosphate source on a wide
range of soils.
Gypsum (calcium sulfate) is often referred to as a liming material because of its calcium content.
However, since it does not neutralize soil acidity, this designation is technically incorrect. Gypsum
can be used to supply calcium and sulfur. It is especially useful on high-pH and sodic soils, and is
reputed to improve soil structure under some conditions.
Supplemental potassium is generally supplied in the form of sulfate of potash-magnesia (e.g.,
Sul-Po-Mag®) and selected sources of mined potassium sulfate.
There are other rock mineral powders available for agricultural use, including greensand, lava
sand, and granite dust. Generally speaking, most are relatively expensive and not economical for
agronomic crops.
Unique Soil Products
Several other soil additives are available to organic growers as soil fertility enhancers. These
include humates, humic acids, surfactants, bioactivators, Biodynamic™ preparations, and others.
These products are often expensive and performance can be highly specific to circumstances. ATTRA
has additional information on several products including humic materials and Biodynamic™ prepa-
rations. Also available on request are the ATTRA publications Alternative Soil Amendments and
Sources for Organic Fertilizers & Amendments.
Foliar Fertilization
Crop nutrition can also be supplemented via foliar feeding. There are several organically ap-
proved fertilizers and materials that can be used. Request the ATTRA publication Foliar Fertiliza-
tion for more information.
4. //ORGANIC SOYBEAN PRODUCTIONPAGE 4
Weed, Insect, and Disease Pest Management
Reasonable control of weeds must be maintained to ensure profitable soybean yields. Consider-
able guidance on non-chemical weed control can be found in the ATTRA publication Principles of
Sustainable Weed Management, available on request. Fortunately, a good crop rotation along with
proper fertility management appears to suppress most soybean pest problems in organic produc-
tion.
Where nematodes have become a problem, rotating to non-host crops and integrating nemati-
cidal cover crops into the crop mix have proved effective. For more detail, see ATTRA’s Alternative
Nematode Control publication. Leaf- and pod-feeding caterpillars are readily controlled by well-
timed applications of Bacillus thuringiensis. Various formulations are currently available, often
through conventional sources. White mold, which has become a serious problem in conventional
production, has a number of management options. See ATTRA’s Organic Control of White Mold on
Soybeans publication. For more information on pest control strategies without conventional pesti-
cides, refer to ATTRA’s Biointensive Integrated Pest Management and Farmscaping to Enhance Biologi-
cal Control publications.
Economic and Marketing Considerations
Limited information has been developed on the economics of organic crop production. The
enclosed budget information from Rutgers University is intended for the northeastern U.S. but
should serve as a starting point in determining production costs elsewhere. Remember to consider
organic production economics in light of a whole-farm crop mix, dictated in significant part by
rotation requirements. To assist in planning, the enclosed budgetary information also includes
information on organic corn and alfalfa production—crops commonly rotated with soybeans in
many production regions.
When estimating crop yields under organic management, many factors need to be considered,
such as the current fertility status of the soil, whether or not manure resources are available, and
the stability of the whole-farm ecosystem as it relates to natural biological pest control. The process
of conversion to certified organic farming can be challenging and disconcerting.
In post-transition organic systems, experience has indicated that organic soybean yields are
usually comparable to those obtained under conventional management. Legume hay yields might
also be comparable to conventional yields, though less information exists to confirm this. Corn and
small-grain yields are generally somewhat lower due to limited nitrogen availability. Often, how-
ever, organic production costs are lower and cancel out lost revenues due to yield reduction, even
when organic crops are marketed through conventional channels.
Market premiums are a significant motivating factor for transitioning to organic production. In
recent years, the market for organic soybeans has appeared especially attractive (note the enclosed
articles “Go Organic?” and “Organic Farmer Taps…”). Farm gate prices for cleaned ‘Vinton’ or-
ganic soybeans ranged from $17 to $20 per bushel during most of the first quarter of 2002. During
that same period, clear-hilum soybean prices ranged from $11 to $14 (2).
Frequently, the organic market specifies ‘Vinton’ and other varieties of food-grade soybeans.
These varieties are used primarily in the production of tempeh, tofu, soya nuts, and a host of other
products and are generally grown under contract. For more details, ask for ATTRA’s Marketing
Organic Grains, Soyfoods: Adding Value to Soybeans, and Edible Soybean Production and Marketing
publications.
