Building Your Own Mini-Greenhouse Can Be A Fun And Educational Experience, As Well As A Rewarding One. Especially If You’re Good With Tools. If You Are Using A Greenhouse To Initiate Transplants Or Grow Plants To Maturity, The Greenhouse Should Be Located In An Area That Will Receive The Most Sunlight. It Should Also Be Located In A ...
Not only are indicators such as greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, water consumption, and energy per kilogram of sugarcane measured, but the supply from feedstock production through consumption is also accounted for. These regulations and certifications for sustainability have yielded tangible impacts for the environment and the sugarcane-growing communities: ...
Mike purchased the plot as a blank canvas and has built up the greenhouses, run water pipes for irrigation and even built his own home on the land. ...
Today water distribution utilities are trying to improve operational efficiency through increased demand intelligence from their largest customers. Moving to prognostic operations allows utilities to optimally schedule and scale resources to meet demand more reliably and economically. Commercial greenhouses are large water consumers. In order ...
Scarcity of water, major critical concern in arid areas, has led to the use of low–quality irrigation water in agriculture in most of arid climate areas. ...
While the prevailing rationale for new irrigation technology adoption is improved water use efficiency, this study evaluated trade-offs between water savings, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and economic gain associated with the conversion of a furrow irrigation system to a sprinkler irrigation (lateral-move) system on a cotton farm in eastern ...
Crop evapotranspiration is the most important parameter for management of irrigation systems in greenhouses. This study was conducted to determine the evapotranspiration of cucumber, tomato and peppers, using micro–lysimeter during seven months in a greenhouse located in central region of Iran. Reference evapotranspiration estimated using drainage lysimeters and ...
A research has been undertaken studying pesticide residues in water from greenhouses and the use of soils and filter materials to reduce such losses. The pesticides detected in water samples collected downstream greenhouses include 9 fungicides, 5 herbicides and 4 insecticides. 10 compounds from flower and vegetable productions ...
High soil P contents in agricultural soils in the Netherlands cause excessive losses of P to surface waters. The reductions in P application rates in the present manure policy are not sufficient to reach surface water quality standards resulting from the European Water Framework Directive in 2015. Accordingly, additional measures are necessary to ...
