Regulating fertilizer applications in agriculture for healthier crops & environment
Farm Fertilizer - A Double-Edged Sword The excessive use of fertilizers is one of the main causes of the environmental impact of industrial agriculture. The notion that more is better has caused more harm than good to farming, as well as the environment. Therefore, using the right amount of fertilizers is considered an important part of farm management. To this end, there has been a lot of ...

Sugar industry press mud as alternate organic fertiliser source
Organic materials are added to soil for improving soil physico-chemical properties. In the present study different doses of press mud along with NPK were applied to wheat crop in pot and field experiments. The increasing levels of press mud application improved soil physical conditions like increase in total porosity and reduced bulk density. Organic matter content, NPK, Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu content ...

How to ferment sugar dregs quickly to make organic fertilizer
Filter mud, chicken manure, pig manure, furfural residue and sugar residue left from sugar processing in sugar factory can be used as raw materials for organic fertilizer production. They are fermented under suitable conditions to form organic matter, which is then processed by the organic fertilizer production equipment to provide nutrients for crops. Method of fermenting organic fertilizer ...

Impact assessment of pre- and post-sown irrigation with Post Methanation distillery Effluent on soil health and crop yield
Field experiments were conducted to assess the optimum dilution of Post Methanation distillery Effluent (PME) to utilise as an organic nutrient source for growing rice and wheat crops. Dilution levels of distillery effluent significantly affected the biomass production as well as grain yield of rice and wheat crops. Levels of organic carbon and NPK were significantly higher in effluent treated ...

What are the advantages of organic fertilizer production machine to make fertilizer from farm wastes?
Organic fertilizer production machine makes manure from farm wastes, mainly for livestock manure, kitchen and domestic garbage and other organic wastes to carry out aerobic high-temperature fermentation, kill harmful bacteria, add beneficial bacteria, use the activity of microorganisms to biodegrade and decompose them, so that the organic wastes can be transformed into usable organic raw ...

Soil phosphorus
As I "dig" deeper into the soil microbial world I am amazed how much we understand but few utilize what we do know. The word is getting out that if we let the soil microbes thrive and multiply by feeding our soil degradable plant and organic material the microbes will give our plants and crops back the nutrients they need. We are now finding that by adding fertilizers directly in the inorganic ...

Understand Crop Nutrients to Optimize Farm Management
Crop Nutrient Uptake and Removal Farming today is an increasingly complex business. However, when you break down the simplest function of agriculture, it’s all about nourishment. With the global population expected to reach nearly 10 billion by mid-century, nourishing your soil to meet this demand is increasingly essential to what you do. How often does crop nutrient uptake and removal ...

3 Great Ways to Use Your Farm Drone During the Off-Season
You may have finished up your 2016 harvest, or perhaps getting a jump start on planning for the 2017 growing season, but think twice before putting away your farm drone for the winter. Just because you’re not actively working in the field does not mean your quad-copter shouldn’t play an active role in your off-season operations. Here are some great ways you can use your farm drone to ...

Uncomposted wool and hair-wastes as soil amendments for high-value crops
The hypothesis of this work was that uncomposted sheep wool and human hair could be used as nutrient source for nonedible high-value plants. Pot and field experiments were conducted to assess uncomposted sheep wool-wastes and human hair-wastes as a nutrient source for high-value crops and to evaluate the effect of these waste materials on soil microbial community and mycorrhizae. In the pot ...

How to deal with manure in animal farms
The animal farm produces a lot of animal excrement and related waste every day, which is also a great fortune. It is a reliable and economic method to ferment farm manure compost into organic fertilizer by using organic fertilizer production equipment. Composting and fermentation of farm manure The fresh animal excrement is mixed with wheat bran or rice bran according to the proportion, and the ...

Performance of an optimized nutrient management system for double-cropped wheat-maize rotations in North-Central China
Overapplication of N and P and insufficient supply of K are considered primary reasons for restriction of yield improvement in the North China Plain. Optimized nutrient management practices based on soil testing and yield targets have been developed. Other large scale field experiments have indicated that additional improvement for yield and nutrient use benefits is needed. The objective of this ...

Sound Advice: Meeting Corn`s Nutrient Demands
In this edition of Sound Advice, Will Llewellyn, Sales Agronomist, shares his insights on how growers can meet corn’s nutrient demand all season long. Early in the crop’s life, nutrient needs increase slowly, until corn reaches the V10 to V14 window of peak nutrient demand. By the end of that window, much of the fertilizer applied since last fall has run its course. Fertilizer ...

Enhancing nutrient cycling by coupling cover crops with manure injection
Coupling winter small grain cover crops (CC) with liquid manure injection may increase manure nutrient capture. The objectives of this research were to quantify manure injection effects using target swine (Sus scrofa) manure N rates of 112, 224, and 336 kg N ha–1 on CC plant density, fall and spring shoot biomass, N, P, and K uptake and subsequent corn (Zea mays L.) yield. A winter rye (Secale ...

NPK fertilizer granulation for slow-release granular fertilizer
Slow-release fertilizers mainly apply modern plant nutrition and fertilization theory, and take into account the law of crop nutrition demand, adopt some control mechanism technology to delay the release mode of fertilizer in soil, so that nutrient release mode and crop nutrient absorption are coordinated or synchronized. NPK fertilizer granulator machine makes powdery fertilizer into ...
