农业是一个重要的部门，提供食物，纤维，燃料和其他可能维持地球生命的重要商品。近年来，L.萨哈· K。Bauddh（*）印度兰契贾坎德中央大学环境科学系电子邮件：kuldeep. cuj.ac.in # Springer Nature新加坡私人有限公司2020 K. Bauddh等人（编辑），可持续农业的生态和实际应用，https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-15-3372-3_1 1不断增长的人口需要大量的农业商品来满足需求。因此，农业一直在迅速升级，引进了各种现代做法和技术，在许多方面影响环境。过量使用化肥和农药污染了空气、水和土壤。虽然使用合成肥料和杀虫剂提高了作物产量，但也恶化了土壤健康。有必要探讨经济上合理和生态上可行的替代办法，以解决这些问题。许多可持续的种植做法，如施用生物肥料、缓释肥料、生物炭、蚯蚓粪、免耕或少耕等，已经被调查并发现非常有效。在本章中，对这些技术进行了深入的讨论。此外，还探讨了如何将这些技术与现代/公司农业工具相结合。
Agriculture is an important sector that provides food, fiber, and fuel, and other vital commodities which possibly sustains life on Earth. In recent time, the L. Saha · K. Bauddh (*) Department of Environmental Science, Central University of Jharkhand, Ranchi, India e-mail: kuldeep.bauddh@cuj.ac.in # Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2020 K. Bauddh et al. (eds.), Ecological and Practical Applications for Sustainable Agriculture, https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-15-3372-3_1 1 growing human population demands a large amount of agriculture commodities to fulfill the need. Therefore, agriculture has been escalating rapidly, which introduced various modern practices and technologies that affect the environment in many ways. The excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides contaminates the air, water, and soil. Although the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides enhances crop productivity, it also deteriorates the soil health. There is a need to explore the economically sound and ecologically viable alternatives which can address these concerns. Numerous sustainable cropping practices like the application of biofertilizer, slow-release fertilizers, biochar, vermicompost, zero or low tillage, etc., have been investigated and found substantially effective. In the present chapter, a thorough discussion about these technologies has been made. Moreover, how these technologies can be incorporated with modern/corporate agricultural tools has also been explored.
