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 ...

Irrigation of eucalyptus plantation using treated bleached kraft pulp mill effluent
The use of treated pulp mill effluent on eucalyptus plantation appears to be an attractive option for plant nutrition and water supply. It also constitutes a supplementary treatment process and a final disposal option for the mill effluent. This study aimed at the investigation and evaluation of the effects of bleached kraft pulp mill treated effluent on three typical Brazilian soils used for ...

Lettuce cationic nutrition and yield, and soil chemical characteristics as affected by vanadium application to leaves or soils
Lettuce plants (Lactuca sativa, L., cv. "trocadero") were grown in pots filled with an Alfisol Udalf or an Andisol Udand soil, under greenhouse conditions. Treatments consisted of adding vanadium to soils (0, 100, 250, 500 and 10001mg1kg1 or as foliar sprays (0, 10, 25, 50, and 1001mg111. Soil chemical characteristics, the cationic nutrition of lettuce and their yields were assessed. No ...

Application of two vermicomposts on a Rice crop: Effects on soil biological properties and rice quality and yield
Vermicomposts have been considered as a soil additive to reduce the use of mineral fertilizers because they provide required nutrients, increase cation exchange capacity, and improve water-holding capacity. However, the effect of each vermicompost on soil properties and crop yield depends on its chemical composition. The main objective of this work was to study the effect of incorporating two ...

Benefits of vetch and rye cover crops to sweet corn under no-tillage
Leguminous cover crops (CCs) may reduce N fertilizer requirements by fixing N biologically and storing leftover N-fertilizer applied in the previous year. The objective of this study was to determine the contribution of CCs [rye (Secale cereal L.) and hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth)] on plant N nutrition and weed suppression to the following sweet corn (Zea mays L.). The CCs were planted in the ...

How to better color the fruit
Open the light path and promote coloring. Promote photosynthetic crops, promote fruit dry matter accumulation and soluble sugar accumulation, can better promote fruit color conversion. Proper fertilizer and water to promote coloring. In the fruit growth period, especially in the late growth period, it is necessary to continuously increase the application rate of potash fertilizer. Of course, ...

Disc granulator has many advantages in processing organic fertilizer particles
Disc granulator can process fertilizer into granules, and fertilizer granulation is an important process in organic fertilizer production line. The quality of granulation affects the quality of final fertilizer. Organic fertilizer is mainly derived from plants and animals. It is a carbon-containing material that is applied to the soil to provide plant nutrition as its main function. The waste ...

NPK fertilizer granulation for slow-release granular fertilizer
Slow-release fertilizers mainly apply modern plant nutrition and fertilization theory, and take into account the law of crop nutrition demand, adopt some control mechanism technology to delay the release mode of fertilizer in soil, so that nutrient release mode and crop nutrient absorption are coordinated or synchronized. NPK fertilizer granulator machine makes powdery fertilizer into ...

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 ...

Organic Fertilizer Manufacturing Process Fermentation Mode
Organic fertilizer, commonly known as farm manure, consists of various animal, plant residues or metabolites, such as human and animal manure, straw, animal residues, slaughterhouse waste, etc. Carbon-containing materials, mainly from plants and animals, are applied to the soil to provide plant nutrition as its main function. It not only provides comprehensive nutrition for crops, but also has ...

Organic Fertilizer Benefits
Organic Fertilizer Benefits – Why not use synthetic fertilizers? It’s a reasonable question. After all, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium ARE chemicals, so where is the advantage in these bags of heavy, grainy stuff, that need to be measured and mixed and then dug in, when you can just pick up a small plastic bottle of the blue stuff? There are several organic fertilizer benefits, ...

Cool Season Fertilizing Time is Now
Cool season root and soil fertilizing is the best way to maintain year-round nutrient levels for deciduous trees, plants, and shrubs. In addition, cool season fertilizing prepares plants to grow with gusto as soon as warmer Spring temperatures return. Biofeed Solutions, Inc. has prepared this information to better explain. We will cover dormant root behavior, NPKs and Micro-nutrients.The cool ...

Root feeding of plants in the conditions of No-Till technology
About 6.5 million hectares of agricultural land in Ukraine are either degraded or unproductive. Above mentioned data are provided by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. According to the opinion of other experts, impoverished soils occupy much bigger area and consist about 15 million hectares. The decrease in the amount of humus and the general deterioration of land is ...

Soil Regeneration - From the Ground Up
Imagine Dan’s delight to watch the documentary, Kiss the Ground, and have his vision confirmed. Since 1986, our owner/inventor Daniel Lee has engaged in deep, self-study of soil chemistry, biology, biochemistry, and metallurgy to discover the natural means by which nutrients are dissolved and released to supply energy to hungry plant roots thereby turning soils – that are otherwise ...

Impact assessment of pre- and post-sown irrigation with Post Methanation distillery Effluent on soil health and crop yield
Field experiments were conducted to assess the optimum dilution of Post Methanation distillery Effluent (PME) to utilise as an organic nutrient source for growing rice and wheat crops. Dilution levels of distillery effluent significantly affected the biomass production as well as grain yield of rice and wheat crops. Levels of organic carbon and NPK were significantly higher in effluent treated ...

The Role of Soil NPK Sensors
Agriculture is a crucial sector that provides food for the world's population. As the population continues to grow, the demand for food also increases. To meet this demand, farmers must produce more food with fewer resources. One of the ways to achieve this is by optimizing crop nutrition and maximizing yield. Soil NPK sensors have emerged as a useful tool for farmers to achieve these goals. Soil ...
