Did you know that onions are the most cultivated crop in The Netherlands? and that it is the most widely cultivated species of the genus Allium worldwide? This crop is an herbaceous bulbous plant that is cultivated for bulb production either as biannual or perennial, depending on the cultivation conditions. Onions are among the most widely adapted vegetable crops that can be grown under a wide ...
Its adaptive design accommodates a diverse range of feedstocks, from crop residues to wood chips, adding an element of versatility to its prowess. Soil Enrichment and Nutrient Management The impact of biochar on soil is nothing short of transformative. Upon integration, biochar enhances soil structure, promoting porosity, water infiltration, and ...
A soil tension meter is an instrument used to measure the tension or suction force within soil. Soil tension, also known as soil moisture tension, is the force exerted by the soil particles as they hold water. ...
Alistair Neill, a Prime Agriculture potato agronomist based in Norfolk, shares his four essential tips on getting potato crops off to the best start possible, beginning with ensuring good crop establishment.1. Cut back on cultivations Soil compaction can jeopardise potato establishment and yield because it restricts root growth, consequently limiting water and ...
Soil compaction is becoming a major issue worldwide. Not only in the Netherlands but globally the soil is deteriorating very badly. Soil compaction is a form of soil degradation, in which the soil structure is lost because the soil is compressed. This global ...
Perfect Planting with the Power of Perlite Whether you’re a home gardener, a commercial grower, a nursery operator, or anyone else that wants the absolute strongest, healthiest plants for their application, you know that health begins in the soil. In fact, poor plant growth and other plant health issues in everything from turf grass to vegetables can be caused by soil problems, including: ...
The soil at the experiment site is a heavy clay loam with low surface infiltration rates. ...
Conservation tillage is a tilling process that leaves at least 30% of the soil surface covered by residue after planting. This method results in improved soil health, added soil protection, and reduced water runoff. ...

The backhoe was used only to dig the hole, drop pea gravel, backfill, and compact the soil; it wasn’t necessary for actually setting the box in place. ...
The application of chemical fertilizers in agricultural production can increase the yield of crops, but it will cause soil compaction, the quality of agricultural products will decline, and the nitrate content in fruits and vegetables will be too high. ...
In the piece below, he discusses deficit irrigation in wine grapes. Dr. Braum holds a doctorate in soil chemistry from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and he studied soil science, plant nutrition, agronomy and viticulture at U. of Hohenheim in Germany and Kansas State University. ...

That’s why it’s smart to prepare now. Planting into wet soil is completely different from planting into dry, compacted soil. ...
Why Acclima soil moisture sensor technology is superior in terms of accuracy and cost Permittivity is a property of matter and is well characterized especially for materials that are electrically non-conductive. Water in its pure form is non-conductive. Permittivity quantifies the charge holding capacity for insulating materials. It is the ratio of stored electric charge to an applied electric ...
Here’s a few reasons why AMCO’s F15/F15B Double Offset Tandem Disc Harrow is the perfect tool for the job: The F15/F15B breaks up soil compaction. Folding flexwings follow the ground contour, while the unit’s double offset tandem design smooths the soil. This action breaks up compaction caused by heavy ...
Using soil urease inhibitor can effectively slow decomposition of urea into ammonia process, reduce soil NH4 + and NH3 concentration, soil fertility and crop fertilizer synchronization. NBPT is the most effective inhibitor of soil urease. Positive butyl thiophosphoric triamide as inhibitors of soil urease, ...
Bio-organic fertilizer has high organic matter content, can improve soil, improve soil physical and chemical properties, enhance soil water retention, fertilizer conservation and fertilizer supply, and alleviate soil compaction caused by long-term use of chemical fertilizers; beneficial microorganisms in ...
Always, the plant is at the center of analysis and is used as an indicator of soil health. Spectrum Technologies Spectrum Technologies is an international company offering a full line of measurement technology for soil compaction, soil moisture, nutrient levels, light, weather, and other factors affecting plant development. ...
This not only wastes a lot of nitrogen fertilizer resources, but also increases the cost of crop production, and brings a series of problems such as soil compaction and environmental pollution. The addition of urease inhibitor to nitrogen fertilizer is a new technology developed at the end of the last century. ...
Compaction is one of the major problems that needs to be tackled. “Pioneer Hi-Bred has identified soil compaction as the number one yield robber for crops,” said Jake Kraayenbrink, owner of AgriBrink, a company that makes and sells centre tire inflation/deflation systems. Compacted soil — the ...
