Additionally, biochar produced from low pyrolysis temperatures can enhance nutrient retention in soils and be utilized as a carbon-based fertilizer. Summary The maintenance of an adequate amount of organic matter in soil and a dynamic biogeochemical cycle of essential nutrients are key components of ...
The Agras MG-1 relies on it’s ability to actually affect the crops by applying fertilizer, pesticides or herbicides from the air with robotic perfection. Read Drone Master: Lynh Phan’s toptips and tricks for caring for your drone here, learn how to trouble shoot problems and perform necess...

Fly ash is a thermal power plant residue used as soil conditioner and fertilizer, which acts as an alternative to a liming agent for improving the fertility of agricultural soils. Fly ash improves various physical, chemical, and biological properties of soil. It is also beneficial for plant grow...
Additionally, the present study displayed that agricultural practices, such as irrigation and fertilizer application may introduce MPs into the soil at varying scales depending on the season, meaning that seasons in which the soil received more irrigation water and fertilizer may be exposed to higher ...
Alongside this, Gerard explains that this collaboration works on strategic areas such as nutrient management. "We can actually increase farmer profitability if we reduce the use of fertilizer and provide advice on placement and timing of application of fertilizer." ...
• the intensive use of energy derived from fossil fuels to power agricultural equipment, pumping water for irrigation, etc.; • a similar use of fossil fuel derive energy for food and produce processing and transportation; • extensive use of nitrogen-rich fertilizer; and • livestock rais...
This is a particular problem in cases where resources to maintain the system are finite, such as when phosphorus fertilizer becomes exceedingly expensive due to its limited availability (Elser and Bennett, 2011). Such management often coerces the system into something more brittle and fragile and ...
Biogas derived from agricultural residues can serve vari- ous purposes such as water pumping, cooking, and heating, among others, while the digestate can be utilized as fertilizer for soil enhancement, remediation, and conservation, among other benefits. Research on biogas potential in Morocco has ...
1990). Historically, Palouse soils were near neutral (Jennings et al. 1990), but as nitrogen fertilizer became more readily available and wheat demand rose, application rates increased. The common agricultural practice of monocropping further depletes soil nutrients because each type of crop draws ...
