Developing a Cost-Efficient Strategy for Continuous Quality Monitoring of Feed Ingredients Rich-protein grain, cereals, oilseeds and various by-products are the common feed ingredients for poultry and swine. ...
Soil sensors, however, act as windows into this subterranean realm, providing real-time, precise data on various parameters: · Moisture content: Knowing the exact moisture level allows for targeted irrigation, reducing water waste and ensuring optimal hydration for different plants. · Nutrient levels: Monitoring key nutrients like ...

Record-breaking yields and maximum profits for your farm. Precision Nutrient Delivery Nutrient management is a critical factor in crop health and productivity. ...
If you’re a cannabis grower, you know that healthy plants are essential for a successful crop. However, even with the best intentions and care, nutrient burn can occur and cause significant damage. Nutrient burn is a common problem that can affect cannabis plants. It leads to a range of cannabis leaf symptoms and ultimately affects the plant’s growth and yield. In this article, we ...
Over-irrigation can lead to waterlogging and nutrient leaching, while under-irrigation can lead to water stress and reduced crop yield.In soil research, soil tension meters are used to study the physical and chemical properties of soil. ...
This is where portable soil detectors come in.Portable Soil Detector is a device that can measure a variety of soil properties, such as pH, moisture content, nutrient content and temperature. These devices are usually hand-held and easy to use, making them ideal for farmers, gardeners and landscapers. In this article, we will explore the benefits of using portable soil detectors, ...
A farmer’s day may be different every day during the growing season but the one constant is that each day is dedicated to doing what needs to be done for a healthy crop. Today’s growers also know that they are the custodians of the soil they farm. Our planet’s population depends on their willingness and ability to reverse the damage that some traditional farming practices have ...
Recently, LG Sonic introduced the MPC-Lab, an innovative monitoring buoy that can monitor algae, physico-chemical variables, and even nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus in near real-time and at different depths in a body of water. Combined with our other monitoring tools, this system offers a unique way to detect the ...
As technology advances, questions inevitably follow. Due to the rapid growth of the hydroponics and indoor gardening industry, it is important for growers to be familiar with the technology, in this case instrumentation. There is a myriad of nutrients and fertilizers available to help you cultivate the best possible plant yields, but what is consistent among all of them is they need to be ...
Received for publication December 8, 2008. Intensive plantation forestry will be increasingly important in the next 50 yr to meet the high demand for domestic wood in the United States. However, forest management practices can substantially influence downstream water quality and ecology. This study analyses, the effect of fertilization on effluent water quality of a low gradient drained coastal ...
In both experiments, dietrich (DMI), vibro shank (VS), or subsurface deposition (SSD) applied the LSM, corn (Zea mays L.) was seeded in the manured zone, and NO3–N movement was monitored. Nutrients were supplied by inorganic fertilizer (IF) in control treatments under conventional till (CT), no till (NT), and zone till (ZT). ...
The 'Measured Annual Nutrient loads from AGricultural Environments' (MANAGE) database was developed to be a readily accessible, easily queried database of site characteristic and field-scale nutrient export data. The original version of MANAGE, which drew heavily from an early 1980s compilation of nutrient export data, created an electronic database with nutrient load data and corresponding site ...
Plant root simulator (PRS) probes, a resin membrane technology, are increasingly used to measure soil nutrient availability in agricultural and nonagricultural systems. Like other resin technologies, the charged surface is meant to sorb nutrients until saturation; however, there is evidence that it acts as a dynamic exchanger in soils with low nutrient availability. This study compared the ...
The suitability of the foliar N/P ratio was evaluated as a predictor of nutrient limitation in an alpine ecosystem of the Colorado Front Range. We hypothesized that foliar N/P ratios are directly correlated with the alpine soil nutrient status. We used a long-term fertilization experiment conducted in three alpine plant communities, where 48 plots were established consisting of four replicates of ...
