All the ingredients composted for 18 days of two phases composting using tunnel for peak heating as advocated by Shandilya et al, 1976, fresh grain spawn was obtained from Bharat Mushrooms, Delhi, India. Formaldehyde treated casing soil (2:1 mixture of 2 year old farm yard manure and garden...
Impact of long-term additions of chemical fertilizers and farm yard manure on carbon and nitrogen sequestration under rice-cowpea cropping system in semi-a... Restoration of soil organic carbon (SOC) in arable lands represents potential sink for atmospheric CO 2 . The strategies for restoration of...
One alternative to overcome such limitations could be the application of biochar and farm yard manure (FYM) (Schmidt et al., 2017). So far, the effect of biochar on soil fertility and crop production has only been studied for a single cropping season in one Nepalese soil (Schmidt et al....
Oasis. Farm. Poop zone. I don’t know if you can call our property a “farm.” Wedohave an acre of land in Arizona. Wedoprovide a lot of our own food and we do have lots of poop. Er, animal poop that is. I guess that pretty much qualifies as a farm, wouldn’t you agree?
of the 1,600 chickens Rodriguez raises, and whose manure he uses as organic fertilizer. Rodriguez also grows plantains on his farm. He sells the fruit and uses some of the plants as shade cover for his coffee trees. But even with the multiple sources of income, Rodriguez sees most of ...
In addition to the environmental benefits of reduced NH3 losses, the value of retained N nutrient in the lignite treated manure is more than $37 AUD head−1 yr−1, based on the current fertiliser cost and estimated cost of lignite application. We show that lignite application is a cost-...
In the on-farm study, Artemisia vulgaris and Ageratum conyzoides vermicomposts again showed their superiority over farm-yard-manure, indicating their potentiality as vermicomposting materials in NW Himalayas. Higher technology adoption rate for different technology components (71–100%) of low-cost ...
Wet sown rice without daincha, receiving 5 Mg路ha-1 farm yard manure and 90,45,45 kg N, P, and K ha-1 respectively, served as control. The experiment was laid out in a completely randomized factorial design during 2004 and 2005 and was replicated thrice. Incorporation of daincha at ...
The tensile strength was highest in poultry manure (1.02-1.12 kPa) and lowest in farm yard manure-FYM (0.77-0.87 kPa) treatment at 0-15 cm soil depth, and it decreased significantly with an increase in biochar application rate. Similarly, the aggregate density decreased significantly with an ...
A DAIRY cow will dump up to 15 per cent of its daily manure output on the concrete yard of a dairy farm. It is then washed into effluent ponds. Managing this issue is important.Biosolids - appropriately treated environmental sludge - and liquid effluent are potential resources that can be ...
