1. Introduction Agricultural products play a significant role in the daily uptake of nutrients and fibers to maintain good health. The agricultural products and resulting foods contain nutritional elements in various concentrations but also elements deemed to be toxic to humans and/or animals. Besides the organically bound elements: hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen, there are more than 30 ...

A technique of growing plants in nutrient solution”. Hydroponics literally means water-working or wateractivation. It is a cultivation technique for growing plants in highly oxygenated, nutrient enriched water, rather than soil. The nutrient solution and its management are the cornerstone for a successful hydroponics system. The function of a hydroponics nutrient solution is to supply the ...

Modern growing practices include scientific evaluations of soil, water, fertilizers, diseases, etc. While some tests are best performed by a laboratory, others can be easily conducted on location, saving time and money. Three tests in particular, EC, pH, and ALKALINITY, can reveal valuable information about water quality, soil salinity, and fertilizer concentration. Myron L Company’s ...

Designed for plant scientists, WinDIAS 3 uses an intuitive colour picking method for image analysis on a PC. WinDIAS 3 can interface directly to a USB2 digital video camera. It is particularly good at measuring the area of healthy and diseased plant leaves. Up to three different zones may be measured simultaneously (e.g. healty, diseased, necrotic) - each defined by up to ten colours. Colours are ...

The EQ3 Equitensiometer (EQ3) measures soil matric potential and temperature. Soil matric potential is the negative pressure (or suction) required to extract water from between the matrix of soil particles. It is an important indication of plant water stress. The value of soil matric potential measured depends mainly on the quantity of water present and the make-up of the soil, though it is also ...

The AP4 is a cycling porometer. It is used for measuring the stomatal resistance of plant leaves. This is a measure of the resistance to loss of water vapour through the stomata and is an indicator of the physiological state of the plant. Stomata are sensitive to light, carbon dioxide, pollutants and water stress and pathogens. The AP4 provides an important tool for unravelling and understanding ...

Olive oil has been produced since antiquity. Ancient olive-oil making was done exclusively by hand. Later on, simple machines such as mechanical presses and pan grinders driven by human or animal power were used. The separation of oil, fruit water, and pulp was done by static settling. At the present time, olive oil is manufactured in a process using modern machinery. In the early 1970s, Flottweg ...

Tapioca starch, also known as manioc or cassava starch is extracted from the roots of the cassava plant. For example, to obtain one kilogram of tapioca starch, approximately 4.4 kilograms of cassava roots are required (25 percent of starch content). The cassava plant has spread throughout Africa and South America; however its use for culinary purposes has become important and has spread all over ...
