Agriculture is the backbone of the critical industry, especially in Southeast Asia regions, and helps sustain food security worldwide. ...
What are the advantages of coated controlled release fertilizer? 1. Reduce human management cost After the fertilizer is made into particles by the rotary drum granulator, the coating process is carried out. ...
The purpose of these tests is two-fold: •Set benchmarks for comparing Kondex technology to existing material/coating technology •Evaluate new material/coating technologies as a means of improving wear resistance and or improving the cost of agricultural knives. Based on data collected from these tests, Kondex can prove its thermal spray technology ...
Coupled with the expensive labor costs and other factors, at present more and more people begin to choose organic fertilizer production line. ...
In Australia and other countries, small private dams in agricultural catchments pose both disastrous individual and cumulative dam failure flood threats to downstream communities; threats that can be exacerbated by increased rainfall intensities caused by climate change. This paper addresses the need for a low cost, scientifically acceptable mechanism and ...
Desalination of brackish and seawaters might be an attractive option to sustain salt-affected lands in the Sultanate, particularly given that recent advances in desalination technologies have reduced energy and running cost requirements.
