From these formulas, we can calculate the total biomass from a tree: Total Biomass (TB) = AGB + BGB = AGB + 0.2 x AGB = 1.2 × AGB On average, a tree consists of 72.5% dry matter and 27.5% moisture content. To calculate the tree’s dry weight, we could multiply the total weight...
Fertilisers are necessary to aid health and growth while turf is subjected to the harsh conditions of sports and extremes of weather events. To reduce costs, turf managers need to ensure nutrient uptake is maximised so lower volumes can be applied.HortWeek...
The chlorophyll index (CI) is applied to calculate the total amount of chlorophyll in plants. In general, this index contains two separate bands: CIgreen and CIred-edge. These bands are responsive to slight variations in the chlorophyll content and are consistent for most types of plants. In ...
Plant uptake is one pathway in which nutrients are removed in floating wetland systems. Plants facilitate the removal of nutrients through direct assimilation (absorption or adsorption), or indirectly by creating habitat for microbial communities on the root infrastructure – which assist in nutrient rem...
However, if mulch is in direct contact with plant stems it can cause rotting which can lead to disease. Try not to mulch Mediterranean plants such as lavenders and rosemary as they do not like or need the extra moisture or nutrients. What are the methods of mulching? When it comes to ...
Cabbages will grow in most soils. They prefer short days and cool temperatures. Mature cabbages can withstand cold temperatures as low as 20°F. Seedlings and young plants can withstand a light frost. There are many varieties of cabbage from the size of a softball to others that weigh as mu...
to the surrounding soil. Many times, the plants are unable to absorb all of the nutrients found in these products at once, and they are merely leached away into the soil. A slow release fertilizer breaks down over time instead of releasing immediately, encouraging the gradual uptake of ...
Why not create your workflow diagram and then use it to automate your processes? You can do it in Nutrient Workflow. What are the benefits of a Workflow Diagram? Workflow diagrams and workflow charts provide an easy visual way to document and analyze a business process or sub-process. A wor...
If the plant receives too little or too much light, it leads to problems such as light stress. Light stress in plants is a condition where plants are exposed to light levels either too high or too low for their healthy growth and development. Stress leads to reduced growth, discoloration, ...
Growing cannabis hydroponically can seem like a complicated process, but trust me, it’s actually easier than it sounds. When you get it right, it’s one of the most efficient and rewarding ways to grow cannabis, especially for beginners. With no soil in the way, your plants get direct ...
