Wastes are the very big query of this century and its disposal is to be ecofriendly. As a result there is a magic called vermicomposting in which without troubling the environment, using tea dust powder and observes different reproductive stages of the worms, cocoons and cast potential for sprouting. The nature and texture of control and pre-decompost mixture with tea dust powder and cow dung mixture were partially composted with 60 days and fully composted after 90 days. The yield has high nutrient worm casts and also observed cocoons and young ones. Vermi casts are enriched nutrient supplement to germination of cow pea seeds. This increases the plant growth parameters and enhanced the plant growth. Adult earthworm of Eudrilus euginae worked with the tea dust powder and produced casts gave the macronutrients and was utilized in seeds germination.

Positive Effect

The presented study assessed the effect of bovine (BC) and fish (FC) waste-derived collagen, poly(hexamethylenebiguanide) hydrochloride (PHMB) and waste dolomite on the emergence of seedlings, growth and development of pea (Pisum sativum L. ‘Lasso’) plants. The seed coating method was used to apply the binding agents. Some of the studied agents were showed to significantly affect the index of emergence velocity (IEV) and of emergence synchrony (IES), but not the final emergence percentage (FEP). The results showed that treatment of the pea seeds with BC, FC and PHMB had a slightly positive effect on plant growth, whereas negative effects of dolomite were observed, i.e., detrimental differences in morphological traits of stipules. Moreover, BC, FC and PHMB improved maximal efficiency of PSII (FV/FM) and did not negatively influence chlorophyll content. Analyses demonstrated positive effects of FC and PHMB and negative ones of BC and dolomite on elemental composition of roots and shoots of the studied plant species. We suggest that the FC and PHMB can be used as promising agents for improvement of plant growth, whereas usage of BC and dolomite should be limited.

Properties Of Soil

Recently, the bactericidal and fungicidal effects of plasma-activated water (PAW) have been confirmed for its application in agriculture. Although the PAW application is beneficial in plant growth, no information is available about processes induced by PAW in soil. This paper gives the first experimental results about PAW’s influence on selected physical and physical–chemical properties of soil. PAW was prepared using the dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) operating in the multistreamer mode at a frequency of 11 kHz. The total energy consumption was 60 J/ml. The obtained results show minimal changes in the natural water evaporation from the soil exposed to PAW, slower tap water absorption if a higher amount of PAW (16 doses per 10 ml to 90 g of the soil) is applied, as well as water retention in the soil of over 30%. The soil pH remains in the neutral range of values even at the highest applied PAW amount of 1.7 weight of soil, which represents the best conditions with respect to the plant growth. Thus, we can conclude that the PAW application, even at high amounts, has no negative influence on the physical and physical–chemical properties of soil and it can be safely applied in sustainable, environmentally friendly agriculture.

Ethylene Signalling

Ethylene is the simplest unsaturated hydrocarbon, yet it has profound effects on plant growth and development, including many agriculturally important phenomena. Analysis of the mechanisms underlying ethylene biosynthesis and signalling have resulted in the elucidation of multistep mechanisms which at first glance appear simple, but in fact represent several levels of control to tightly regulate the level of production and response. Ethylene biosynthesis represents a two-step process that is regulated at both the transcriptional and post-translational levels, thus enabling plants to control the amount of ethylene produced with regard to promotion of responses such as climacteric flower senescence and fruit ripening. Ethylene production subsequently results in activation of the ethylene response, as ethylene accumulation will trigger the ethylene signalling pathway to activate ethylene-dependent transcription for promotion of the response and for resetting the pathway. A more detailed knowledge of the mechanisms underlying biosynthesis and the ethylene response will ultimately enable new approaches to be developed for control of the initiation and progression of ethylene-dependent developmental processes, many of which are of horticultural significance.
