Full textAbstract:
With the introduction of hydroponics, a cutting-edge technique that is completely changing conventional procedures, the long-standing practice of mushroom growing has changed to suit modern difficulties. Traditionally cultivated in natural substrates, mushrooms are currently flourishing in hydroponic systems, which substitute nutrient-rich water solutions for soil. This change brings about an evolution in the mushroom industry and satisfies the growing need for sustainable agriculture methods. The advantages of hydroponic mushroom culture are unmatched; they include better nutrient control, year-round output, space efficiency, and pest and disease control. Growers can customize fertilizer levels and create ideal growing conditions for a variety of mushroom species thanks to the accuracy of hydroponic systems. Hydroponics overcomes seasonal limitations to guarantee steady mushroom production, satisfying the rising need for fresh produce that is acquired locally. Its layout maximizes available space, which is especially beneficial for urban farming. usage of land. Because hydroponics is an environmentally benign method, there is less chance of soil-borne illnesses and pests, which means less need for chemical treatments. This method creates a regulated, pollution-free atmosphere that promotes improved mushroom quality and consistency. In addition, hydroponic mushroom farming reduces nutrient leakage and uses less water, which is in line with the global trend toward ecologically friendly farming methods. To sum up, the application of hydroponics to the growth of mushrooms represents a revolutionary advancement in mycology. Improved sustainability, production, and profit for mushroom growers are among the benefits that follow. Hydroponics is a viable solution that could revolutionize the mushroom business and make a substantial contribution towards achieving greater sustainability in agriculture as demand for mushrooms develops.

Full textAbstract:
Oyster mushroom farming is a business practice for six SMEs in the Pongangan Gunungpati region. The fact that the production tools still in use are basic presents one of the main challenges to oyster mushroom cultivation. The production scale for fresh oyster mushrooms is still quite limited, and it has not been able to satisfy market demand. Additionally, production standards and good crop management have not been adopted. Among MSME members, production management and marketing management are still conducted independently, so that the circulation of fresh mushroom production and marketing is not optimal. Changes in climate and seasons are difficult to foresee and have a propensity to occur, and the popular perception that mushroom cultivation is difficult and can only be done in the highlands contributes to the low level of interest in mushroom farming. The inability of mushroom farmers to condition the mushroom house in accordance with applicable regulations and the absence of technology capable of maintaining stable temperature and humidity in the mushroom house area. Currently, mushroom growers in the Pongangan subdistrict still utilize a rudimentary irrigation mechanism and manually water their crops each morning and evening. The objective of the performed service activities is to use appropriate technology to condition the air’s temperature and humidity to match the natural circumstances of oyster mushrooms.

Full textAbstract:
The cultivation of mushrooms has gained significant attention as an alternative agricultural practice due to its high nutritional value, medicinal properties, and eco-friendly nature. However, the effective management of the supply chain in mushroom cultivation presents numerous challenges. This research paper aims to identify the constraints associated with the supply chain of mushroom cultivation and provide suggestions for their improvement.The study was conducted in 2023 (February – March) in the Raipur block of Dehradun. The data were collected via questionnaire and direct interview from 60 growers and 20 traders. Region was specifically chosen due to the significant presence of growers and traders. The reason behind this selection was the growers' shift towards mushroom cultivation as a result of untimely rains and crop damage. Mushroom cultivation offered a controlled indoor environment, mitigating the risks associated with unpredictable weather conditions. However, over time, both the growers and traders encountered challenges in the management aspects of cultivation, as well as post-harvesting. Grower perceived major constraints were Inadequate supply of spawn at appropriate time, Unfavourable climatic conditions, no cold storage facilities, poor marketing avenues and people regard mushroom as a non-veg food were ranked first. It is therefore recommended that constraints should be checked to maximize the production. To do that, extension agencies should take up skill-oriented training programmes and awareness programmes, cold storage facilities should be provided to accelerate the self-life.

Full textAbstract:
BackgroundCultivating the wine-cap mushroom (Stropharia rugosoannulata) on forestland has become popular in China. However, the effects of wine-capStrophariacultivation on soil nutrients and bacterial communities are poorly understood.MethodsWe employed chemical analyses and high-throughput sequencing to determine the impact of cultivating the wine-capStrophariaon soil nutrients and bacterial communities of forestland.ResultsCultivation regimes ofStrophariaon forestland resulted in consistent increases of soil organic matter (OM) and available phosphorus (AP) content. Among the cultivation regimes, the greatest soil nutrient contents were found in the one-year interval cultivation regime, and the lowest totalNand alkaline hydrolysable N contents were observed in the current-year cultivation regime. No significant differences were observed in alpha diversity among all cultivation regimes. Specific soil bacterial groups, such as Acidobacteria, increased in abundance after cultivation ofStropharia rugosoannulata.DiscussionGiven the numerous positive effects exerted by OM on soil physical and chemical properties, and the consistent increase in OM content for all cultivation regimes, we suggest that mushroom cultivation is beneficial to forest soil nutrient conditions through increasing OM content. Based on the fact that the one-year interval cultivation regime had the highest soil nutrient content as compared with other cultivation regimes, we recommend this regime for application in farming practice. The spent mushroom compost appeared to be more influential than the hyphae ofS. rugosoannulataon the soil nutrients and bacterial communities; however, this requires further study. This research provides insight into understanding the effects of mushroom cultivation on the forest soil ecosystem and suggests a relevant cultivation strategy that reduces its negative impacts.

Full textAbstract:
Industrial cultivation of the mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus leaves behind a huge amount of spent straw substrate, which must be disposed of. Therefore, to create optimal conditions for assimilation of this type of organic raw material by earthworms Eisenia fetida, it is necessary to destroy the lignin layer with the help of microbiological preparations. After the biological conversion of spent mushroom blocks by earthworms Eisenia fetida, we get EM compost, which is an ecologically safe substrate for the industrial cultivation of two-spored champignon mushrooms. The purpose of the work is to develop the technology of closed production cycles during the intensive cultivation of Pleurotus ostreatus and Agaricus bisporus mushrooms based on the use of biological preparations and vermiculture. Methodology. In the process of performing the work, general scientific and special research methods were used: theoretical processing of research results by methods of statistical and correlational analysis; empirical – experiments in climatic chamber conditions, graphical and tabular display of results. Results. The speed of the growth and development phases of the exotic species of the mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus is a rather significant indicator that characterizes the relationship between the cultivation conditions and its morphological features. When optimal growing conditions are created with the use of substrates with a high level of nutrient supply, the growth and development of the mushroom becomes more intensive. Due to the use of EM preparations for pre-treatment of the compost mixture before vermicomposting, I will create ideal conditions for obtaining EM compost, which is absolutely safe from a sanitary and epidemiological point of view, because it does not contain pathogenic microflora and is devoid of unpleasant odors and can be used in various branches of agriculture. Further use of biological preparations during intensive cultivation of Agaricus bisporus with irrigation of cover soil makes it possible to influence the morphometric characteristics of the mushroom. The length of the leg in all variants during the first wave of fruiting ranged from 36,2 to 40,1 mm, the diameter of the leg from 15,9 to 19,0 mm, the height of the cap from 12,7 to 13,1 mm, and the diameter of the cap from 45,5 to 53,4 mm. When watering the cover soil during the second wave of fruiting, the size of fruiting bodies differed from the mushrooms obtained from the first wave. The length of the leg according to the options for the use of biological preparations was 35,8 38,2 mm, the diameter of the leg was 15,9 18,4 mm, the height of the cap was 11,2 12,9 mm, and the diameter of the cap was equal to 45,0 48,6 mm. Thus, it can be concluded that watering the cover soil with biological preparations had a positive effect on the morphological features of the structure of Agaricus bisporus fruit bodies. Practical implications. The obtained results have an important practical significance for farms that grow mushrooms. The use of spent straw substrates as fillers in the composition of the compost mixture increases the efficiency of vermicomposting, increasing the yield of coprolite by 10-20 % compared to the use of peat as a filler. The results of the study make it possible to recommend the use of biopreparations "EM Compost" and "Potassium humate" for two-time irrigation of the cover soil, which ensures an increase in the yield of two-spored champignon mushrooms by 19 %. Their use contributes to the growth of yield and quality. In order to achieve the maximum yield and increase the energy value of Agaricus bisporus mushrooms, it is advisable to water the cover soil twice with a 0,05 % solution of the biopreparation "EM Compost".

Full textAbstract:
This chapter lays the intellectual-historical groundwork for thinking about the “virtues of vulnerability,” by mapping the concept of humility inherited in Western thought from Christianity, and the concept of autonomy inherited from liberalism. After detailing what these inherited concepts are, it argues that they are problematic from the perspective of embodied agency and citizenship-subjectivity, and develops alternative versions that bolster, not undermine, democratic practice. Confucian political theory provides a nontheological but deeply relational conception of humility, including concrete practices for cultivating a distinctly political ethic that is not about lowliness, self-denial, or subordination to authority. Feminist philosophy’s concept of “relational autonomy” provides an account of autonomy as an ongoing process that requires supportive social conditions and networks of relations, not mere non-interference. Bringing these traditions together, this chapter develops the conceptual framework and political vocabulary of the project, and begins to flesh out an important new concept of humility-informed-relational-autonomy.

The NICRA project is being implemented in two villages viz., Chamua (since 2010–2011) and Ganakdalani (since 2012–2013 till 2016–2017), which are situated in the west of Lakhimpur district of North Bank Plains Zone of Assam. Chamua village is situated in Kherajkhat Mauza (Taluka), which is 45 km away from North Lakhimpur, the headquarter of district Lakhimpur. On the other hand, Ganakdoloni is situated at Dhalpur Mauza, situated 60 km away from North Lakhimpur and 15 km away from the local township Narayanpur. During 2017–2018 four villages viz., Jakaipelua, Borbali, Borkhet, and Nogaya were adopted under the project. Analysis of long-term rainfall data confirmed the significant decreasing trend of annual as well as monsoonal rainfall in both the Brahmaputra and Barak basins of Assam, India. Variability of rainfall has been increasing in terms of the increased frequency of high-intensity rains and the reduced number of rainy days, leading to localized flash floods and the occurrence of multiple dry spells. Mean season-wise rainfall 2011–2021 indicates long dry periods during the winter season, leading to prolonged dry spells affecting crop growth. About 69% of total rainfall (average annual rainfall of Assam is 2000 mm) is received during the monsoon season, resulting in flash floods leading to crop damage. Out of 12 years of investigation, 10 years are deficit years, resulting in crop stress both during the monsoon and post-monsoon period. Preparation and implementation of real-time crop contingencies are important in responding to weather aberrations in different strategies like preparedness, real-time response, etc. Identification of various adaptation strategies, including climate-resilient crops and cultivars, rainwater harvesting and recycling, efficient energy management through farm mechanization, dissemination of weather information, and weather-based agro-advisories to farmers in a real-time basis, is important adaptation technologies for building climate-resilient agriculture. The study showed that adaption of climate-resilient crop and cropping system and use of harvested rainwater resulted in a 12 to 30% increase in yield observed by the cultivation of high-yielding rice varieties (HYVs) (Ranjit, Gitesh, Mahsuri, etc.) when sown in time (before 15th June) over late sowing conditions (after 20th June). In the case of early season drought, replacement of long duration traditional varieties with short duration HYV and life-saving irrigation using harvested rainwater increased yield by about 59% (short duration var. Dishang) over non-irrigated fields. In case of mid-season and terminal drought, application of an additional dose of 22 kg ha−1 MOP at maximum tillering to grain growth period an increase in yield of about 33% (Ranjit), 32% (Gitesh), 64% (Shraboni), and 57.5% (Mulagabharu) has been observed over farmers’ practice. In highly flood-affected areas under lowland situations replacement of submergence tolerant varieties (Jalashree and Jalkuwari) with traditional deepwater rice varieties resulted in reduced crop loss due to the genetic trait of the deepwater rice, which can withstand water logging for a long period. With an increase in the level of mechanization through the use of machinery available in the custom hiring center the human and animal hour requirement for paddy cultivation was reduced from 795 to 350 hrha−1 and 353 to 23 hrha−1, respectively. Alternate land use in terms of low-cost poly house, vermicompost production, and mushroom cultivation also resulted in nutritional security and generation of higher income for the farmers

Full textAbstract:
One of the latest transformations of Hinduism concerns the appropriation of Western New Age influences, which in the 1990s and 2000s gave rise to a burgeoning spiritual field dominated by urban middle-class Hindus. This chapter discusses its growth and fuzzy contours and analyses its rapid growth. Drawing on psychology-inspired social theory, the chapter argues that the rapid societal changes brought about by the liberalization of India’s economy created a demand for self-development techniques that facilitated adjustment to these changes, some of which were spiritualized in the guru movements that began to mushroom. Cultivating a New Age emphasis on human oneness in a country as hierarchical and multi-religious as India makes Indian New Age stand out in at least two respects. First, by the friction between oneness, class-stratified organization, and religious philanthropy, here conceptualized as ‘patrimonial oneness’. And, secondly, by its self-conscious effort to bridge religious boundaries, though religious cosmopolitanism was difficult to accomplish in practice.

Full textAbstract:
The average annual trade of over 250 thousand tons of essential oils generates over 250 million tons of distillation residues, posing environmental problems due to incineration or landfill overburden. The circular economy focuses on reducing resource inputs, waste generation, and pollution, for sustainability. Implementing circular economy principles not only mitigates environmental concerns but also creates economic opportunities by utilizing residual biomass. Nonvolatile secondary metabolites, like flavonoids and phenolic compounds, remain in plant material during essential oil distillation. These bioactive substances can be extracted from the biomass distillation residues. Instead of discarding or burning waste from essential oil production, it can be processed to make extracts. The residue can be converted into biochar, a carbon-rich material beneficial for soil improvement. Other end uses include generating combustible bio-oil and using distillation residues for mushroom cultivation. Circular economy practices in the essential oil agroindustry have implications beyond the field itself. By providing raw materials for various sectors and industries, such as agriculture, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals, this agroindustry can contribute to broader sustainability goals. While the adoption of circular economy principles presents technological challenges, the potential benefits in terms of waste reduction, value addition, and sustainability justify ongoing research and development efforts.
