Sensitivity analysis of the CERES-wheat model for variations in CO2 and meteorological factors in Northwest Turkey
Plant growth is very sensitive to variations in atmospheric factors. Possible effects of climate change on plant growth can be estimated and evaluated using the crop growth simulation models. In this study, the CERES (Crop Environment Resource Synthesis)-wheat model was applied to two consequent growing seasons (1997–1998 and 1998–1999) in order to determine the model sensitivity on the changes ...

A silviculture application of the glyphosate‐based herbicide Visionmax to wetlands has limited direct effects on amphibian larvae
Herbicides are commonly used in agriculture and silviculture to reduce interspecific competition among plants and thereby enhance crop growth, quality, and volume. Internationally, glyphosate‐based herbicides are the most widely used herbicides in both of these sectors. Laboratory and mesocosm studies have demonstrated that some formulations are toxic to amphibian larvae below concentrations ...

Organic fertilizer manufacturing process solve the problem of manure treatment
For farmers and growers, in addition to worrying about the occurrence of diseases and insect pests, it is more important to solve the problem of livestock manure and crop straw treatment. If this resource is not used reasonably, it will not only be a problem of stacking, but also a threat to people's living and living environment. The most effective way is to use the corresponding means for ...

AGRIMAT - Magen`s root zone heating system for greenhouses
Heating the root zone in greenhouses is a production method that focuses on an optimal temperature for the roots, the benefits are many and the energy savings are proven. Studies have shown that the temperature of the root zone is more critical for crop growth than for leaves. What are the benefits of AGRIMAT? If you ask the experts in the field they will tell you three significant benefits: ...

Effects of estimating soil hydraulic properties and root growth factor on soil water balance and crop production
Accurate simulation of plant growth depends not only on plant parameters, but also on soil parameters. Although there is uncertainty in measured soil parameters and root distributions, their effects on simulated plant growth have been much less studied. This study evaluates the simulated responses of six crops, wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), maize (Zea mays L.), barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), ...

Effect of irrigation with anaerobic baffled reactor effluent on Swiss chard (Beta vulgaris cicla.) yield, nutrient uptake and leaching
The disposal of treated wastewater from an anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR) effluent into water bodies can cause pollution. Treated wastewater management through irrigation of crops has the potential of increasing crop production through nutrient uptake while reducing the risks of environmental pollution. However, this study aimed to investigate the effect of irrigation with ABR effluent on ...

Creating the Perfect Environmental and Atmospheric Conditions for Vertical Farming
The global population is rapidly expanding, and new technologies are required to enable us to keep up with rising food demands. Vertical farms provides a secure supply of food year-round while using minimal space, water, and energy. Creating the perfect environment, and especially the perfect CO2 atmosphere, in vertical farms is essential for optimizing crop yields and farm economics. ...

Simulating the Effect of Climate Change on Agriculture
Increased atmospheric CO2 levels and climate change are believed to contribute to extreme weather conditions, which is a major concern for many. And beyond extreme events, global warming is also predicted to affect agriculture.1,2 While climate change is expected to affect agriculture and reduce crop yields, the complete effects of climate change on agriculture and the resultant human food ...

Impact of fly–ash–amended soil on growth and yield of crop plants
Fly Ash (FA), a waste product of thermal power stations, has great potential for use in agriculture, because it contains almost all macro as well as micronutrients. In view of the potential disposal problem of FA, this investigation was carried out to search an economical and eco–friendly solution of its disposal by using it as nutrient source in agriculture for growth of crop plants. FA ...

Difference between organic fertilizer and chemical fertilizer
What is chemical fertilizer Chemical fertilizers are quick acting and exist in many forms, such as liquid and particle. Chemical fertilizers are water-soluble, and plants can immediately absorb nutrients. Although this provides a fast nutrient and fast greening, it will not last. Only organic fertilizer can maintain plant growth all the time. Chemical fertilizer can promote plant growth rapidly, ...

Data Collection: A Growing Trend in Hydroponics
Hydroponic farming has certain inherent advantages. Plants grown hydroponically will mature on average 25% faster and deliver up to 30% greater yield than plants grown in soil. Creating the conditions necessary for such an increase in plant efficiency requires very close monitoring of the growing environment. Knowing exactly what conditions your plants are growing in at every stage of plant ...

Winter wheat and maize response to urea ammonium nitrate and a new urea formaldehyde polymer fertilizer
Slow release N fertilizers have potential to improve yield and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and maize (Zea mays L.). A slow release urea formaldehyde polymer (UFP) was compared with aqueous urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) [(NH2)2CO, NH4NO3] during a 2-yr field experiment in North Carolina. Crops were grown on Candor (sandy, siliceous, thermic Grossarenic ...
