NATURE’S BEST FRIENDS: HOW CROPS SUPPORT EACH ...
...

Farming is often viewed as a battle against nature, where plants are forced to compete for limited resources. However, agricultural science increasingly shows that crops can also cooperate. This article explores the concept of companion cropping, a practice in which different plants are grown together to support one another. In particular, it examines the practical relationship between Garlic and Coriander, where Coriander helps protect young Garlic plants by moderating sunlight exposure, while Garlic reduces pest pressure through its strong natural odor. By also reviewing classic examples such as maize, beans, and squash, this article demonstrates how working with natural plant interactions can improve crop health while reducing dependence on chemical inputs.

TOXIC FOOT PRINT OF CHEMICALS: IMPACTS ON SOIL Q...
...

Over time, their indiscriminate and continuous application has led to ecological challenges, including pest resistance, secondary pest resurgence, chemical residues, non-target toxicity, and declining soil health. Consequently, systematic risk assessment is essential for sustaining agricultural productivity and environmental safety.

CONSERVATION AGRICULTURE: PROTECTING SOIL FOR FU...
...

Conservation agriculture (CA) offers a sustainable pathway by improving soil health and productivity through minimal soil disturbance, permanent soil cover, and diversified crop rotations. However, CA is knowledge-, machinery-, and herbicide-intensive, requiring strong institutional support. Widespread adoption demands coordinated efforts from farmers, researchers, and policymakers, particularly in arid regions, to achieve long-term agricultural sustainability.

The High-Density Planting System (HDPS) represents a significant advancement in cotton cultivation in India, aimed at improving productivity and sustainability. This system involves cultivating early-maturing, compact cotton hybrids at closer spacing, thereby increasing plant population per unit area.
