Acrylamide monomer leaching from Polyacrylamide-treated irrigation furrows
Water-soluble anionic polyacrylamide (WSPAM), which is used to reduce erosion in furrow irrigated fields and other agriculture applications, contains less than 0.05% acrylamide monomer (AMD). Acrylamide monomer, a potent neurotoxicant and suspected carcinogen, is readily dissolved and transported in flowing water. The study quantified AMD leaching losses from a WSPAM-treated corn (Zea mays L.) ...

Urban and agricultural pesticide inputs to a critical habitat for the threatened delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus)
The Cache Slough complex is an area of tidal sloughs in the Sacramento‐San Joaquin River Delta of California, and is surrounding by irrigated agricultural lands. Among the species of concern in the area is the delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus), a federally‐listed threatened species. Releases of the organophosphate insecticide chlorpyrifos and pyrethroid insecticides were examined to ...

Estimating ground cover of field crops using medium-resolution multispectral satellite imagery
Remote sensing is useful for estimating plant canopy characteristics, such as leaf area index (LAI) and ground cover (GC). When the source of remote sensing data is medium-resolution satellite imagery, plant canopy characteristics can be estimated for numerous fields within an agricultural region. In this study, a procedure was developed to estimate GC of field crops from medium-resolution ...

Impact of fly–ash–amended soil on growth and yield of crop plants
Fly Ash (FA), a waste product of thermal power stations, has great potential for use in agriculture, because it contains almost all macro as well as micronutrients. In view of the potential disposal problem of FA, this investigation was carried out to search an economical and eco–friendly solution of its disposal by using it as nutrient source in agriculture for growth of crop plants. FA ...

Uses of PPGI Sheet in Agriculture Industry
PPGI sheets are commonly used in the agriculture industry for various purposes, such as: 1. Roofing: PPGI sheets are used to create durable and weather-resistant roofs for agricultural buildings, such as barns, sheds, and warehouses. 2. Fencing: PPGI sheets are used to construct fences around agricultural fields, to keep livestock in or out, and to protect crops from pests. 3. Greenhouses: PPGI ...

Experience in improving fertiliser value of compost by enriching with urine
Urine contains a lot of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, and could act as valuable plant fertiliser. But urine is often either flushed down a toilet or enters a pit latrine, thus being lost to agriculture and increasing surface and groundwater contamination with nitrogen. Ecological sanitation concepts are closing the loop of nutrients contained in wastewater with agriculture. Besides ...

Speciation and mobility of arsenic in agricultural lime
Received for publication October 6, 2008. Agricultural liming materials are used to correct soil acidity and to improve plant growth and microbial functionality. A relatively low-grade agricultural lime was found to contain up to 125 mg kg–1 arsenic (As), which is above any fertilizing materials code threshold. The color of the milled material is brown due to ample oxide dendrites. Microprobe ...

Furfural residue fermented organic fertilizer-3 points you must know
Furfural residue is a kind of waste after extracting furfural from corn cob, oat and wheat bran, sawdust and other agricultural by-products. It also contains more lignin, semi lignin, cellulose and other organic components. These wastes can be transformed into organic fertilizer for plant growth by using organic fertilizer production equip​ment. Compared with other fermented ...

Catastrophic cost of Foot and Mouth Disease
Foot and Mouth disease has never completely disappeared. Although it has been almost 20 years since the last major outbreak of Foot and Mouth disease in the UK, which cost the industry more than £8 Billion, it does not mean that the disease is not still a very real risk to the economy. This August the first outbreak since 2001 in the UK was identified at an abattoir in Brentwood in ...

Magnetic particle treatment for irrigation water greener, better, cheaper, faster
The wells of central California are the main water source to sustain agriculture in the region, but the brackish water contains high concentrations of total dissolved solids (TDS) in general, and geologically occurring recalcitrant elements - like boron - in particular. Boron is hard to remove using membrane technology such as Reverse Osmosis, and Ion Exchange is quite burdensome in cost, ...
