“…Because of its high sugar content, it accelerated the decomposition of organic matter in soil [ 3 , 20 ]. Pressmud is a good source of organic manure that may be utilized to improve soil fertility and crop productivity [ 17 , 21 , 22 ]. It requires more storage space in addition to proper disposal.…”

“…Pressmud is a rejected sugarcane waste that, when accumulated, causes storage issues as well as pollution in the surrounding areas of the sugar mill [ 15 ]. It is a soft, spongy, amorphous, dark brown to brownish material formed as a byproduct of the sugarcane industry during the carbonation or sulphitation of sugar [ 16 , 17 ]. Madhya Pradesh state is having three large scale sugar industries at Indore, producing significant amount of pressmud.…”

“…The organic matter and sugar content are eaten by soil biota as food [ 22 ]. The mineralization of pressmud produces a range of organic acids during decomposition and ions that form complex bonds to adsorb toxic metal ions [ 17 , 23 ]. As a result, PM could be used to treat soils that have been contaminated with lead.…”

Soil fertility management and crop productivity both are inter-related need extensive attention for sustainability. Industries are being built, which over time produces a lot of effluents containing heavy metal(s), which is then dumped on healthy soils and water bodies. Long-term discharge of lead (Pb)-containing wastewater resulted in significant Pb buildup as well as a decrease in soil biological activity. In this experiment, graded dose of Pb, i.e. 0, 100, 150 and 300 mg/kg and pressmud (PM) (0, 2.5, 5, 10 g/kg) were applied to monitor the Pb toxic effect on soil acid and alkaline phosphatase, dehydrogenase activity. Different treatment combinations were formulated and the experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications. In this experiment, spinach crop was used as a test crop. According to the findings, increased Pb levels in the soil lowered dehydrogenase activity (DHA), acid and alkaline phosphatase. The addition of PM enhanced enzymatic activities by decreasing the labile fraction of Pb in the soil. Incorporation of PM improved the soil enzymatic activities as alkaline phosphatase activity > DHA > acid phosphatase activity in the study. This study suggested that the addition of 10 g/kg PM reduced Pb toxicity (contamination level 300 mg/kg) and improved the soil microbial properties in black soil. These findings are very useful for the remediation of Pb contaminated soil with the help of PM, particularly in peri-urban Pb effluent irrigated areas.

“…Agriculture provides a living for about three-quarters of the population in developing nations and it is one of the key facets of human growth (Muthayya, 2014). For Nepal, agriculture is crucial because it provides resources for approximately 65.7% of the population's means of subsistence and accounts for about 37.0% of the country's GDP (Gunjal & Gunjal, 2021). The green revolution over the past few decades has significantly altered the global food production systems, increasing food output and productivity, agricultural income, and employment prospects in both developed and developing nations (Joshi et al, 2015).…”

Organic products not only provide numerous health benefits but also contribute to environmental sustainability. The entrepreneurial skills needed for the promotion of organic products in the Karnali province of Nepal can contribute significantly to the regional economy. But it requires a comprehensive policy framework to support and encourage the growth of this sector. The purpose of this study is to explore the current status of entrepreneurial activities to produce and promote organic products in the Karnali province and identify the challenges faced by entrepreneurs in this sector. The study is based on qualitative methods, including in-depth interviews with leading entrepreneurs, government authorities, and experts by using quota and convenience sampling techniques, and a review of relevant literature. This study finds the effective strategies for promoting entrepreneurship in the organic products sector in the Karnali province of Nepal. By analyzing the current state of organic agriculture and entrepreneurship development in the region, the study provides the recommendations for policymakers to support the growth of entrepreneurs in this sector. The findings suggest for the implications for the local community and the environment, as promoting organic agriculture with positive effects. Overall, this study seeks to contribute to the development of policies that promote entrepreneurship and sustainable development in the Karnali province.
