After years of research,scientists have successfully grown crops in Martian soil simulant. Although the crops aren't ready to be eaten, this brings us one step closer to realistically inhabiting Mars.
a level that significantly inhibits growth of uninoculated plants. This discovery is significant since soils throughout areas of China, Australia, and the Middle East have grown increasingly salty, as well as major farmland
Dieldrin and endrin uptake from a contaminated soil by pot-grown plants of thirty two crops (including seventeen families) was examined. Among the tested crops, Cucurbitaceae took up considerable amounts of dieldrin and endrin in the shoot. The otherfamilies absorbed negligible amounts of them. ...
Likewise, cotton is grown in the regur (black earth) soil of Maharashtra and Gujarat, while the loamy soils of western Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Punjab are ideally suited for wheat, rice and sugarcane crops. Furthermore, the land occupancy, ownership of land, size of ...
Cover crops are typically grown in combination with main summer annuals such as corn, soybean, and spring cereals to control nitrate leaching, provide nutrients (especially N) as “green manure,” conserve water resources, reduce insect and pathogen damage, and improve soil quality (Hargrove, ...
In the new scientific (and literal) field of agrivoltaics, researchers are showing how panels can increase yields and reduce water use on a warming planet.
Additionally, research is being conducted on the use of algae as a feedstock for biofuels, as it doesn't compete with food production and can be grown in non-arable land or even wastewater (Ullmann et al. 2021). Therefore, there is a need to strike a balance between using biofuel ...
(L.) Thell.) are grown and marketed for different end uses. The use of the subspecies names, in such cases, is useful as it differentiates the various cultivated forms. Subspecies names also are useful to differentiate cultivated forms of plant species from wild ones. For example,durum ...
Plant and soil metabolism of the herbicide chlorpropham in field grown crops of lettuce, scorzonera and Italian chicory 喜欢 0 阅读量: 29 作者:J Rouchaud,P Roucourt,F Benoit,N Ceustermans,J Gillet,H Maraite 摘要: Propyzamide [3,5-dichloro-N-(l,l-dimethyl-2-propynyl)benzamide] is a...
Values of water use efficiency (about 30 kg shoot ha-1 mm-1 for Beecher and OIConnor and 20 kg ha-1 mm-1 for Syrian and Gutha) were similar to other cereal crops and the amount of shoot dry matter per unit of water transpired for barley crops grown in W.A., U.K. and Syria ...
