Test your soil for a better garden next year. Summer is a good time to evaluate your soil’s health so that any fall amendments can break down over the winter in time for spring planting. Here’s how. You don’t have to dig too deeply to discover the secret of great gardening; it ...
Carbon sequestration, particularly through reforestation and sustainable agriculture, is one of the key instruments at our disposal to address climate change.
Soil EC refers to the electrical conductivity of a solution within a unit distance, and it represents the content of soluble salts in the matrix, also known as salinity or ion concentration. Soil conductivity is an index to measure soil water-soluble salt, and soil water-soluble salt is an ...

Agriculture is becoming a substantial contributor to carbon emissions in China, and the efficient reduction of agricultural carbon emissions (ACEs) has become a universal concern. Currently, the digital transformation of agriculture (DTA) provides a new
The NDMI index is a measure of how well-hydrated a growing plant is right now. Soil moisture issues or a plant’s inability to take in enough water could be to blame for out-of-the-ordinary index values. However, keep in mind that this feature is appropriate only for non-flooded dry-...
Sunflowers generally grow best in soil type that allows water filtration to naturally occur, but not sandy soil. Sunflowers have very long tap roots and reach deeply into the soil. The best soils are loams with a moderate pH range of 6.5 to 7.5, determined by soil testing. Poor soil pH ...
