ABSTRACT

Highlights • Smoke produced from plants waste material is more efficient, cost effective, vegetative growth promoter, inexpensive, rapid and most appropriate eco-friendly bio-fertilizer in sustainable agriculture.• Plant derived smoke was generated by burning of plant material (leaf, straws etc) in a specially designed furnace.• Four level of plant derived smoke (1 h, 2 h, 3 h & 4 h) along with control were tested on four wheat cultivars in CRD repeated pot experiment.• Plant derived smoke exposure applied for short time i.e. 1 h & 2 h induced significant results as compared to prolonged PDS exposure.
