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 ...

Field trial carried out in the ebro valley, Spain case study
Rice farmers in Spain experience two major problems with their rice crops: After the flooding and fertilisation of the rice fields algal growth rapidly develops and covers the surface of the water in the paddy. This greatly reduces the availability of sunlight received by the seedlings until they have grown above the water level. This results in early stage plant loss which can be severe. The ...

Comparative plant growth and development in two cotton rotations under irrigated and non-irrigated conditions
Incorporating perennial grasses such as bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum Fluegge) to diversify the conventional two-crop rotation of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) and cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) prevalent in the U.S. Southeast (SE) is advocated. However, little is reported on growth and development for cotton grown in rotation with perennial grasses. Our objectives were to compare plant ...

Using Soil NPK Sensors to Improve Plant Nutrition
Introduction Plant nutrition is a critical aspect of sustainable agriculture, as it directly impacts the growth, development, and yield of crops. Traditional methods of fertilizer application often lead to over- or under-fertilization, resulting in poor plant growth or environmental pollution. With the advent of soil NPK sensors, however, farmers now have a precise and efficient tool to improve ...

Pig manure organic fertilizer production line has great effect and obvious advantages
In agricultural production activities, the breeding industry is also a group that can not be ignored, and the amount of waste water produced every day is also huge. If we can effectively use these "wastes", it can not only help solve the problem of stacking, but also increase revenue. Take pig manure for example, the use of pig manure organic fertilizer production line can effectively solve the ...

The Power of Cytokinin: Unlocking Nature's Secret to Plant Growth and Development
Introduction of Cytokinin Cytokinin is an organic compound that belongs to the cytokinin family. It is widely used in plant physiology and agriculture due to its beneficial effects on plant growth and yield. Cytokinin is a potent growth hormone and is commonly used in plant tissue culture, induction of cell division and shoot proliferation, plant regeneration, and in vitro production of plant ...

What raw materials can be used to produce organic fertilizer
Organic fertilizer is a kind of organic material fermented by microorganisms, such as plant residues, animal manure, organic by-products of processing industry, which can be applied to the soil to provide plant nutrition. Organic fertilizer can provide comprehensive, stable and long-term nutrient elements for plant growth, improve soil structure, improve soil buffering performance, water and ...

Crops flourish with Scalewatcher
Water is an essential component of horticulture and agriculture whether it is used for irrigating field-scale vegetables, nursery stock, flowers or fruit. Where water contains high degrees of calcium, magnesium and sodium, it can cause nutrient deficiency in plants and crops resulting in stunted growth and poor yields. Calcium also blocks irrigation systems and boilers in heated greenhouses, ...
