4 Benefits of Using Power-Z Sustainable Soil Additive for Agriculture Companies
There are many complex aspects to soil quality that can affect the growth and health of plants. Soils in different areas have different physical and chemical compositions that can be good or bad for farming. In the case of naturally rich and beneficial soil, over time, nutrients will be depleted. For other soils, plants could not be grown well there naturally. In those cases, a sustainable soil ...

Effect of charcoal quantity on microbial biomass and activity in temperate soils
Wildfire-produced charcoal is a common component of soils, affecting a range of important abiotic and biotic soil processes. Our ability to predict the effects of charcoal addition to soil is currently limited, however, by our understanding of how charcoal affects the soil microbial community mediating many of these processes. This study sought to improve our understanding of the relationship ...

Application of two vermicomposts on a Rice crop: Effects on soil biological properties and rice quality and yield
Vermicomposts have been considered as a soil additive to reduce the use of mineral fertilizers because they provide required nutrients, increase cation exchange capacity, and improve water-holding capacity. However, the effect of each vermicompost on soil properties and crop yield depends on its chemical composition. The main objective of this work was to study the effect of incorporating two ...

Dairy cattle manure improves soil productivity in low residue rotation systems
Mineral fertilizer alone may not sustain soil productivity in cropping systems that return little crop residues to the soil, unless additional organic residues and/or manure is applied regularly to the soil. The objective of the present study was to assess the long-term effects of mineral fertilization (No fertilizer, PK, and NPK) and manure addition (0 and 20 Mg ha–1 yr–1) on soil physical and ...

Controlling Nitrogen with Clinoptilolite
With skyrocketing prices on the fertilizer market, and record high contamination levels in runoff from soil leaching, solutions for fixing nutrients in the root zone are of paramount importance. The price of nitrogen fertilizer is always in flux, but as of recently there is a distinct and obvious spike. Fertilizer prices are on the rise. Meanwhile the broad use of fertilizer in agriculture has ...

Principles for market-orientated production of compost products from the perspective of a plant operator
The treatment of biological waste, and composting in particular, has received a great boost in recent years since the introduction of source separation for biological waste in the 1980s. At the same time, legal regulations and guidelines for the construction of composting plants, production and trading of compost products were expanded. At present, about 6.5 million tonnes of biological waste is ...

Function and production of carbon based fertilizer
Function of carbon based fertilizer Organic carbon fertilizer based on high-quality humic acid and fulvic acid can promote the formation of soil aggregate structure, reduce soil bulk density, increase cation exchange capacity, and regulate soil pH, thus contributing to improving soil water, fertilizer, heat preservation and ventilation capacity. Carbon based fertilizer processed by fertilizer ...

Cattail plants’ Biomass as a bulking agent in sewage Sludge composting and the effect of the produced Compost on cattail plants’ Growth
In every Greek island there is at least one town with more than 20,000 inhabitants. Several smaller towns and villages range from a few hundreds to a few thousands in population. Usually in the larger towns there are sewage treatment facilities providing at least secondary treatment of wastewater. In most cases the effluent produced is drained to the sea and the sludge is dumped in landfills. In ...

N-(N-butyl) Thiophosphoric Triamide Solution
N-Butylthiophosphoric triamide (NBPT, hereinafter referred to as "NBPT") is currently one of the most effective soil urease inhibitors. Agricultural fertilizers, mainly nitrogen fertilizers, are quickly decomposed by urease in the soil under normal use. This not only wastes a lot of nitrogen fertilizer resources, but also increases the cost of crop production, and brings a series of problems such ...
