“…Meanwhile, with wasted paper and paper products constituting for over a third of landfill waste, the paper industry generates significant quantities of waste, contributing to landfill overflow [3,4]. However, recycled paper fibers offer a sustainable solution by binding the soil particles together, preventing them from being washed away by water or blown away by wind [5,6,7,8].…”

An innovative approach to storing and germinating seeds can be achieved by embedding seeds in recycled papers. This quantitative study was conducted to evaluate the viability and germination of vegetable seeds in recycled paper compared to soil. Pechay (Brassica rapa), mustard (Brassica juncea), spinach (Spinacia oleracea), and saluyot (Corchorus olitorius) were seed samples examined in both media. Daily monitoring of seedlings' height and germination count was conducted using a counting method and rulers, as well as water sprays. As a result, viability varied among seeds, with pechay (100%) and mustard (96.30%) showing higher rates in recycled paper than spinach (25.93%) and saluyot (44.44%). The viability of pechay (96.30%), mustard (96.30%), spinach (96.30%), and saluyot (70.37%) was generally higher in soil. Germination rates differed across seed types and media. Pechay and mustard grew consistently in both media, while spinach and saluyot had different growth patterns and showed slower growth. Statistical analysis using the Fisher Exact Test and T-test showed no significant difference in viability between recycled paper and soil (P = 0.214). Soil remains preferred, but recycled paper can serve as an alternative starting medium. Long-term growth assessment and matching media to more plant species are recommended to enhance germination practices and sustainable agriculture.

The experiment entitled “Effect of sowing date and nitrogen on quality of beet leaf (Beta vulgaris var. bengalensis)” was conducted during summer, 2020 at Vegetable Research Farm, RHRS, ASPEE College of Horticulture and Forestry, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari, Gujarat, India. The experiment was laid out in Split plot design with five replications. The experiment was arranged with three levels of sowing date (D1:1st Fortnight of January D2:2nd Fortnight of January and D3:1st Fortnight of February) and four doses of nitrogen (N1:0 kg N ha-1, N2:50 kg N ha-1, N3: 75 kg N ha-1 and D4: 100 N kg ha-1). Total chlorophyll content (1.91 mg g-1), moisture content (88.51 %), ash content (7.37 %) and iron content (4.56 ppm) in plant from the 2nd cutting were recorded higher in 1st fortnight of January sowing (D1). Among the nitrogen doses, ascorbic acid (71.07 mg 100 g-1), total chlorophyll content (2.18 mg g-1), moisture content (89.22 %) and ash content (8.65 %) were obtained higher with application of nitrogen @ 100 kg ha-1 (N4). The iron, nitrogen and potassium content (4.71 ppm, 1.83% and 2.67 %, respectively) in plant and nitrogen (231.18 kg ha-1) in soil were higher under nitrogen at 100 kg ha-1 (N4). Beet leaf sown at 1st fortnight of January with 100 kg N ha-1 (D1N4) had given the best performance in the quality parameter i.e. total chlorophyll content (2.30 mg g-1).

A field experiment was carried out at the Department of Horticulture, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh during the Rabi 2021-2022 with a view to determine the performance of different varieties of spinach beet (Beta vulgaris var. bengalensis) for its growth, yield under Prayagraj climate and to work out the economics of various treatments. Under this experiment, overall 7 varieties were sown under tags T1 (Pusa Jyoti), T2 (All Green), T3 (All Green H-1), T4 (Green Iron), T5 (Palak- Ashirwad), T6 (Sudevi Green Spinach), T7 (Supriya) which was laid out in randomized block design (RBD) with three replications. From the present investigation, it was concluded that variety Pusa Jyoti performed best in respect of all parameters specially yield (64.44q/ha) at Prayagraj climatic condition. The benefit-Cost ratio (1.61) of variety Pusa Jyoti was found to be the highest therefore, it can be suggested to farmers to adapt it in cultivation practices.
