Assessing long-term water quality impacts of reducing phosphorus fertilizer in a US suburban watershed
Phosphorus run-off from urban lawn care is a significant water quality concern in many US suburban communities. Many state and municipal governments in the USA adopt urban fertilizer laws or ordinances that prohibit the use of phosphorus-containing lawn fertilizers. This study assesses the long-term water-quality impacts of two phosphorus-reduction scenarios in a suburban watershed in Central ...

Is Water RunOff Effecting my Pond?
What is Water RunOff? Runoff is precipitation that did not get (infiltrated) absorbed into the soil, or did not evaporate, and therefore made its way from the ground surface into places that water collect. Runoff causes erosion, and also carry chemicals and substances on the ground surface along to the ponds, lakes and rivers where the water ends up. (eschooltoday.com) Phosphorus and Nitrogen ...

Top Dressing Fertilizer in Western Canada
Western Canada has a short growing season which makes another pass for top dressing fertilizer sometimes difficult to achieve. Many crops have the fertilizer applied during the seeding season with Liquid Distribution Systems, (like these kits we make here). Often this will meet the crops fertilizer requirements for the whole season. Making one pass makes sense in a season that brings the right ...

Evaluation of dandelion as a potential forage species in mixed-species swards
Recent research has indicated that increasing species diversity of the pastures might improve sward productivity and stability. The present experiment evaluates the effect of dandelion (Taraxacum officinale Weber) as a potential pasture species on the performance of a perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.)–white clover (Trifolium repens L.) mixture in terms of total herbage yield, weed ...

Rate and timing of potassium fertilization and fungicide influence rice yield and stem rot
Potassium deficient rice (Oryza sativa L.) is susceptible to diseases including stem rot (Sclerotium oryzae Catt.). Knowledge of how to manage K deficiency and the increased disease susceptibility is necessary to reduce rice yield losses. Our objectives were to determine the influence of K rate, application time, and azoxystrobin fungicide on grain yield and stem rot index (SRI) of rice grown on ...

A New Generation of GMOs
Is synthetic biology on its way to our farms, markets and tables? Thousands of researchers will descend on Boston this fall for an event billed as the world’s largest gathering of synthetic biologists. The field is evolving so rapidly that even scientists working in it don’t agree on a definition, but at its core synthetic biology involves bringing engineering principles to ...
