The main aim of composting is to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle the waste. ● This way the volume in landfills will be reduced, water and air pollution can be reduced as well as creation of green house gases can also be brought down. COMPOSTING ● ● ● A Natural bio-degradation process Time-consuming but helps in soil fertility Nutrient-rich food for the plants Effects of Compost on Soil Physical Properties Soil structure has a vital role in different soil processes . Adding compost to soils recovers their structure that allows free gas and water transfer, facilitates soil management for ploughing or seeding and enhances seed germination and root growth, as well as reduces the risk of erosion, reduces water evaporation, regulates moisture and improves drainage. REJUVENATION OF OLD TREES Rejuvenation means restoring vitality and freshness of plants What affect old trees Infestation Improper planting Planting material Faulty site Adverse weather conditions Attack of pest and pathogen Objective of rejuvenation Enhance the productivity of old fruit Provide quality planting material to farmer at reasonable to increase yield per capital Make senile productive and juvenile Enhance the profitability Conservation of old progeny or species Techniques of rejuvenation Pruning: Remove dead ,damaged ,disease and interlacerating braches Restored bark height of 2m Helps to invigorating trees Manuring: timely manuring helps to rejventating the plants The major required nutrients especially N,P,K Thinning of shoots shoots: aeration , penetration of light,spacing etc are not proper to deal the situation oly selected no.of shoot may be allowed to grow on plants 4-5 shoots healthy , vigorous,well sprouted and well spaced shoots are retained to constitutes framework of rejuvenation Supplement feeding: seeds are plant near the trunk of old tree , once they attain 1 meter height the top portion will be cut and at the same time old tree bark will be cut The top portion will be inserted inside the bark and after some time it will be united and be part of the old bark by this nutrients will be transfered Control of devitalizing agents Pest an disease act as mainly devitalizing agent of plants. Incidence of bark eating ,caterpillar, trunk borer, leaf eating caterpillar pest etc Regular monitoring and early detection of pests with the help of Pest Calendar and identifying abundance level to take appropriate measures. Weed clearing, disposal of infested seedlings, hand picking or net collection of pests and destruction, pruning of affected areas. IMPROVE OF GROUND WATER By planting of evergreen trees in university which leads to transpiration that can be leads to rain and ground water can be restored and by huge foliage trees leads to capture more rain water and through barks it leads for ground water recharge How Do Plants Help To Reduce Environmental Pollution ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● In the current climate, we are constantly bombarded by all sides about pollution reducing, our environmental impact and protecting our environment. Sometimes it can be overwhelming to know where to start! In addition to our regular duties of reducing recycling and recycling, did you think of planting trees? We plant trees primarily for their beauty and to provide shade, but by planting and caring for trees, you help to improve your environment, reduce pollution, lower energy costs. How? They reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the air, increase oxygen and help to remove toxins. Not only do they provide nutrients for the entire food chain as well as the earth itself, Trees can clean the air and remove toxic airborne particles and gaseous pollutants. Toxins such as nitrogen oxides, ammonia and sulphur dioxide from their leaves, bark and roots Trees planted in an urban environment can not only mitigate the warming impact of concrete and buildings on the atmosphere, they have also been shown to clean the air of pollutants and particulates generated by traffic that are harmful to us. . PRINCIPLES OF CAMPUS LANDSCAPING ● ● ● ● ● Focal / Interest plantings Reinforcement of Pedestrian access ways Retention of unique or particularly attractive natural features Sensitively located seating and bench/table arrangements to enhance areas for study, eating and conversation. Consideration for noise in the outdoors COMPOSTING : Soil structure has a vital role in different soil processes . Adding compost to soils recovers their structure that allows free gas and water transfer, facilitates soil management for ploughing or seeding and enhances seed germination and root growth, as well as reduces the risk of erosion, reduces water evaporation, regulates moisture and improves drainage. CAMPUS LANDSCAPING STRATEGIES : ● ● ● ● ● ● ● Proper landscape placements & deflection techniques help to channel prevailing winds and thus increasing the air movement. Glare & heat absorption can be reduced by light-colored materials that are paved around the building. Other strategies which shall be adopted to minimize the discomfort occurred due to hot and humid climatic conditions like buildings should be separated with large, free spaces between them. This allows airflow which provides ventilation for cooling and a hygienic environment. Certain species of trees (e.g. rain trees) form an extraordinary outdoor space by creating a canopy effect. They should not be planted too far from each other, so that the crowns form a wide hall-like space, creating a comfortable microclimate. An un-shaded pavement should be avoided as far as possible and air should not be allowed to pass over such hot surfaces before reaching buildings. High bushes, however, should be avoided near buildings because the space between the ground vegetation and the high crowns of the trees should remain open, providing free access for the wind at the level of the living spaces. In buildings it is possible to have vines/creeper covered trellises which provides shading in summer, allows diffused sunlight. RRRR-REDUCE,REUSE,RECYCLE,RESTORE Waste management include collection, transport, processing or disposal, managing and monitoring of waste materials. The principles to waste management are: RESTORE RECYCLING OF LEAVES Mow them and leave them where they lie. Shred them and use as mulch Shred them and till into the soil Compost them, shredding them first for the best result REUSE PAPER FOR STUDENTS , CRAFT ITEMS BAMBOO FOR FABRICS AND FURNITURE WOODEN SEATINGS WITH WOOD LOGS, DOOR PANELS, SMALL ROOF STRUCTURE WALL SHADING DEVICES, RAINWATER HARVESTING REDUCE DONT USE PAPER TOWELS, TISSUES SAVE PAPER , IRRIGATION CONTROL WALL SHADING DEVICES, LANDSCAPING RESTORE RESTORING GROUND WATER LEVELS BY PLANTING EVERGREEN TREES AND IRRIGATION PLANTING SAPLINGS , AND PROTECTING OLD TREES BY REJUVENATION ORNAMENTAL TREES
