The indiscriminate use of fertilizers under intensive cropping system deteriorates the soil health and in turn productivity of crops and also pollutes the ecosystem (Jagdish Prasad 2004 and 2015) and those necessities to study the changes in soil properties for efficient management of soil for sustained production. Keeping this in mind, the present study was undertaken to characterize the soils (0-15 and 15-30 cm) at two distances from reference point (Upper Ganga Canal) and three districts namely, Muzaffarnagar, Meerut and Ghaziabad of Western Uttar Pradesh. The soil sampling (0-15 and 15-30 cm) was done on the right side (RS) of Ganga canal (as base line) at the distance of 1000 and 3000 m from each alternate bridge between Purkazi and Muradnagar using GPS.

The City

This chapter reports the details of the existing system of MSW management and characterization of Muzaffarnagar City located in Western Uttar Pradesh (UP) state in India. The overall waste generated in the city is about 120-125 tons per day (TPD) with a per capita generation rate of 0.415 kg/person/day with a collection efficiency of 70-80%. Physico-chemical and geotechnical properties of the MSW were carried out to determine its overall characteristics. The characterization results showed about 46% of the waste generated in the city is organic nature (from HIG and MIG) and 52% for (LIG) with chemical characterization showing that the elemental carbon was in the highest proportion. Further, the chapter also recommends suitable remedial measures for proper management of the existing MSW management system and suitable treatment alternatives.

Management Issues

Organic wastes are naturally biodegradable, but they contribute to environmental pollution and management issues. Composting and pyrolysis are widely used technologies for recycling these wastes into valuable organic products for soil health and crop production. In the current study, fruits vegetables waste (FVW) was converted to biochar, compost, and co-composted biochar. The microcrystal structure, functional groups, surface morphology, and nutrient contents of organic materials were investigated by XRD, FTIR, SEM-EDS, AAS, multi C-N analyzer, and ICP-OES techniques. Heavy metals contamination was not detected in the biomass used for pyrolysis and compost preparation. FVW had an acidic pH (5.92), while biochar, compost, and co-composted biochar had an alkaline pH. Total macronutrient (K, Na, S) and micronutrient (Cu, Fe) concentrations were higher in compost and co-composted biochar, with the exception of K, which was higher in biochar. Biochar had the highest surface area (4.99 m2g), followed by FVW, compost, and co-composted biochar. Co-composted biochar had a porous structure. Si, Ca, and Al contents were common in all organic materials, while P, K, Mg, and S were found with lower concentrations in both biochar and compost. Iron was only found in compost and co-composted biochar. Quartz, sylvite, and calcite were common minerals found in all organic treatments. Biochar contained more aromatic carbon ring structure C=C/C=O and aromatic C-H bending as compared to FVW and compost, thus, making biochar a stable carbon rich material suitable for soil carbon sequestration.

Field experiment was conducted for two consecutive years at the research farm of Baba Raghav Das Post Graduate College, Deoria, Uttar Pradesh, India to evaluate the effect of different tillage practices on soil health andcrop productivity of wheat under the rice-wheat cropping system of Indo-Gangetic Plains of India under the irrigated ecosystem.Results revealed thattreatment T3 produced significantly higheryield attributes in terms of number of ear bearing shoots (407)as compared to T4(390). However, it was also recorded that the grain weight per spike and test weight were significantly lower in T3 and T4over rest of the practices. The similar trends were followed in case of grain yield under the T3 (45.60) being on a par with T4 (45.50 but it was recorded significantly superior over rest of the tillage practices. With respect to the soil physical and chemical properties, it was also noticed significantly higher under the treatment T4 as compared to other treatment.

In general, distribution of nutrients in soils is governed by soil forming factors and process crops grown and external supply. The continuous mining of the nutrients under intensive cropping system is of serious concern. The large tract of Eastern Uttar Pradesh is witnessing the deficiency of most of the nutrients and Ballia district is not an exception (Singh et al. 2017; Gupta et al. 2019). Singh et al. (2020) have characterized some of the rice growing soils of Eastern Uttar Pradesh and reported depth-wise distribution of some fertility parameters. Although horizon-wise distribution of nutrients in shrink-swell soils of other part of the country have been reported (Jagdish Prasad and Gajbhiye 1999; Karthikeyan et al. (2014) but it is lacking in Eastern Uttar Pradesh and particular in pulse-growing black soil of Ballia district and hence present investigation was carried out.
