The market is segmented into fertilizers, pesticides, adjuvants, and plant growth regulators, with key applications in crop-based and non-crop-based sectors. ...
When used as a soil amendment, biochar improves soil fertility, enhances water retention, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions — all of which contribute to more sustainable farming practices. 1. Enhancing Soil Fertility One of the primary benefits of biochar is its ability to improve soil fertility. ...
The practice not only maintains soil fertility, but also reduces the risk of contamination of nearby water bodies. ...
Main Applications of Liposomes in Agricultural Research Liposomes may serve as carriers and active agents for pesticides and fertilizers, thereby promoting their absorption in crops. The objective of Liposome Formulation Development is to bring benefits to sustainable agriculture based on liposome platform. Pesticides and insecticides Liposomes can enhance the delivery of ...
Agricultural practices in developing countries often face hurdles such as: Soil Degradation: Continuous farming and overuse of chemical fertilizers deplete soil nutrients. Low Crop Productivity: Poor soil quality and limited access to advanced technologies result in low yields. ...
Pyrolysis is an energy-efficient method that, aside from producing biochar, generates syngas and bio-oil, which can be utilized as renewable energy sources, further amplifying the sustainability of the process. Soil Health and Fertility Enhancement One of the most significant benefits of biochar is its ability to improve soil health and fertility. ...
It can not only be used as a clean energy to replace traditional coal and reduce environmental pollution, but also as a soil conditioner in agriculture to improve soil fertility and crop yields. In the field of environmental protection, the adsorption properties of biomass carbon make it an ideal adsorbent for water treatment and air purification. ...
Mobile genetic elements shatter the concept of fixed location genes on chromosomes 1974: Institute for Genetics, Justus-Liebig University, Giessen, Germany. Prof. Fritz Anders (1) passes two papers to his student: “Please read these (2, 3)…. and provide a summary of them next week in our Journal Club!” Published two decades earlier and authored by Dr. ...
Murara Plants Kenya is one of the leading plant propagators in Africa. It is located in Kericho, in the middle of Kenya’s highlands, west of the Great Rift Valley with an altitude of about 2,150 metres above sea ...
Our innovation is a major transformation in farmers’ decision making regarding the application of limited resources such as water, seeds, fertilizer and labor. Instead of relying on common-sense management, farmers are now able to take decisions based on facts, resulting in an increase in water productivity. ...
Agricultural Enzymes Agricultural enzymes, sourced from microorganisms like fungi and bacteria, are catalyst that accelerates the chemical reaction that unblocks the nutrients present in the soil, and helps increase crop production, soil fertility, and food protection. The most commonly used enzymes in plant growth and soil fertility are phosphatases, ...
This Pisys customer – a well-known Japanese engineering firm – introduced our cloud-based Permit to Work system on a $985.7 million construction project of a new fertiliser plant in the Caspian Region, which is managed remotely from Japan. The whole construction project benefits from increased safety, better communication across different languages and reduced waiting times for ...
Cultivation operations [plants density/area unit (micro clime), agricultural rotation, 13. fertilization, wet harvest, mechanization, storage period….. etc.]. 14. ...
When working with slurry, choosing the right pump is crucial. A slurry is a mixture of solids and liquids, often thick and heavy. It can be found in many industries, including mining, construction, and wastewater treatment. The right pump for slurry can make a big difference in how efficiently you can move and manage this mixture. In this article, we will explore the different types of pump for ...
Soil Amendment: Charcoal, also known as biochar when used in agriculture, improves soil fertility and structure. It enhances water retention, nutrient availability, and microbial activity, leading to better crop yields. ...
Agricultural Enzymes Agricultural enzymes, sourced from microorganisms like fungi and bacteria, are catalyst that accelerates the chemical reaction that unblocks the nutrients present in the soil, and helps increase crop production, soil fertility, and food protection. The most commonly used enzymes in plant growth and soil fertility are phosphatases, ...
Another key advantage of using cytokinin is that it can help to reduce the need for other types of plant growth regulators, such as synthetic hormones or chemical fertilizers. This not only reduces costs for farmers but also helps to support sustainable agriculture by minimizing the use of potentially harmful ...
Aquaponics Systems: Constructing closed-loop systems that integrate fish farming with hydroponic plant cultivation, where fish waste is used as fertilizer for the plants. Seaweed Farms: Establishing seaweed cultivation areas, typically on ropes or lines, to grow different types of seaweed for various applications like food, biofuels, or bioplastics. ...
By sequestering carbon, agronomists can improve soil structure, enhance water retention, and reduce the need for chemical fertilizers, contributing to more sustainable farming ...
For generations, farmers have relied on chemical fertilizers to boost crop yields. However, these fertilizers come with a hidden cost: environmental damage. ...
