Lighting Strategies for Ornamental Crop Production
The ornamental horticultural industry is diverse and made up of flowering potted plants, cut flowers and bedding plants. Ornamentals have specific lighting requirements needed to grow high quality and consistent crops. Since many bedding plant varieties are started in winter, lighting becomes important for managing early growth stages and to ensure products are in a condition ready to be shipped ...

Method for fermenting organic fertilizer by peanut shell
Peanut shell is a rare plant waste and flower fertilizer. As a kind of soil loose agent, it is often used in soil cultivation. If the peanut shell is not rotten, it is not conducive to the growth of plants. If the peanut shell is used in plants, it will have some side effects on the root growth of plants, and may also affect the absorption of nutrients and burn the root system of plants. ...

Hand Digging VS Tree Spade: which one gives the best results in terms of quality and time?
We were in Tuscany, with our guest and friend Mr. Leonida Cocchi, at one of his nurseries; we thank him for helping us dealing with this matter. All around the world tree spades are seen as tools to be used just for huge clods, especially by not experts. That’s because tree spades costs, while laborers has a short-term lesser cost. So, smaller clods it is thought to be wiser to produce them ...

Perfect poinsettias for Christmas? Controlling compost moisture can remove the need for chemical growth retardants
Poinsettias, the classic Christmas pot plant, are grown in their thousands in UK nurseries from late July onwards, but growers have to rely on the use of plant growth regulators (PRGs) to ensure that the optimum height and number of bracts is achieved by early December. With protective environmental legislation threatening to reduce the availability and use of such PGR treatments, a project led ...

Priming of prosopis cineraria (L.) druce and acacia tortilis (forssk) seeds with fulvic acid extracted from compost to improve germination and seedlin
Composting of waste plant materials and its use in agriculture and landscape sites is an environmental friendly way of reducing waste material and conserving the environment. In this perspectives a survey has been performed at the Dubai based International Center for Biosaline Agriculture to compost the plants based waste material (lawn cuttings-grass) to compost. The material was inoculated with ...

Effect of the salinity stress and arbuscular mycorhizal fungi (AMF) on the growth and nutrition of the Marigold (Calendula officinalis)
In order to evaluate the effect of the Arbuscular mycorhizal fungi (AMF) on Calendula officinalis, an experimental has been carried out in term of salinity stress in totally randomized Factorials in shahrood. The samples were cultivated in tested sandy loam soil. This experiment were conducted in hub seedling (pot) method with four salinity treatment in 1.5-3.5-5.5-7.5 (dSm-1) concentration, two ...

Agronomic impact of earthworms, cow dung compost, vermicompost and chemical fertilisers on growth and yield of brinjal ( Solanum melongena )
The pot experiment was conducted to assess the impact of live earthworm + cattle dung (as feed), cow dung compost, vermicompost, chemical fertilisers and control (without fertiliser) on growth and yield of brinjal (S. melongena). Growth and yield parameters were significantly superior in the pots treated with live earthworms as compared to other fertiliser inputs at 5% level. The plant height ...

CG Coir pots – An environmentally friendly alternative to plastic pots
From cell phones and computers to water bottles and bags, plastic has moulded society in many ways that make life both easier and safer. However, this ease of living has come at a huge environmental cost. Since mass production of plastic began in the 1940’s it has grown to become an essential item in the society. More than 280 million tons of plastic were manufactured in 2012. In fact, ...

Integrated management of diluted distillery effluent and fly ash as a potential biofertiliser: a case study on the vegetative growth and chlorophyll content of the marigold plant, Tagetes patula
The distillery is one of the most polluting industries having high BOD and COD. Apart from the organic content, distillery effluent contains macronutrients such as nitrogen and potassium whereas fly ash produced by thermal power plants contains micronutrients such as iron, copper, manganese, zinc and boron essential for the proper growth of plants. Recently, ferti–irrigation in some states has ...

Use of insoluble polyacrylate polymers to aid phytostabilization of mine soils: effects on plant growth and soil characteristics
Received for publication March 5, 2009. We evaluated the use of polyacrylate polymers to aid phytostabilization of mine soils. In a pot experiment, perennial ryegrass was grown in a mine soil and in uncontaminated soil. Growth was stimulated in the polymer-amended mine soil compared with an unamended control, and water-extractable levels of soil Cu and Zn decreased after polymer application. In ...

Growth and phosphorus uptake of three riparian grass species
Riparian buffers can significantly reduce sediment-bound P entering surface water, but control of dissolved P inputs is more challenging. Because plant roots remove P from soil solution, it follows that plant uptake can reduce dissolved P losses. We evaluated P uptake of smooth bromegrass (Bromus inermis Leyss.), reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea L.), and switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) ...
