Comparative study of isotherm parameters of lead biosorption by two wastes of olive-oil production
Batch isotherm studies were carried out on a laboratory scale: (i) to investigate the effectiveness to remove lead of two wastes (olive stone (OS) and olive tree pruning (OTP)), untreated and chemically treated; and (ii) to examine the applicability of various adsorption isotherms to fit the experimental data. Results from tests were analyzed using seven equilibrium isotherm correlations ...

Composting of municipal green waste using a hybrid Mode of the aerated static pile
The aerated static pile (ASP) system developed in Rutgers University (Finstein et al., 1980) is based on a deep understanding of composting as a microbial process. It allows for a good degree of process control and high organic matter stabilisation rates, with relatively low labour and cost. For these reasons, the ASP system has been intensively studied with, among others, the following aims: ...

Effect of loblolly pine root pruning on alley cropped herbage production and tree growth
Tillage to disrupt (prune) tree roots is an intensive practice which could improve herbage productivity at the crop–tree interface by reducing competition for water. We compared tillage effects on 9- to 11-yr-old loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) growth and herbage yields of annual ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) and pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] on a fragipan soil in Arkansas. ...

Product introduction of tree branch crusher
Branch crusher, also known as wood chip crusher, sawdust crusher or sawdust machine, is a new type of mechanical equipment used in the front-end production process of producing wood powder (sawdust). It integrates slicing and crushing into one, and can chop branches and branches with a diameter of 1-20 cm. It can also be used to chop fibrous stalk-like materials such as bamboo, thatch, corn ...

Landscape trees benefit from potassium-based superabsorbent polymer-amended backfill soil
Weiner (1975) put it aptly when he stated that “However rewarding the act of tree planting may be, watching a young tree slowly die can be spiritually defeating.” Landscape plants, noted Richard Harris (1983) in his well-known “Arboriculture” book, “probably suffer more from moisture-related problems than from any other cause.” The success of tree planting ...

How cooling irrigation systems benefit orchards
Typical Challenges in Orchards Managing an orchard comes with several challenges. Pest and disease control is a constant battle to protect trees and ensure high-quality fruit. Weather fluctuations, including extreme temperatures and storms, can harm tree health and productivity. Adequate water management, by balancing irrigation and drainage, is crucial for optimal growth. Nutrient management ...

European red spider mite - an environmental consequence of persistent chemical pesticide application
The European red spider mite, Panonychus ulmi, is a major pest in almost all fruit growing regions of the world (Hardman et al., 1985). Spread of P. ulmi to most apple-growing areas has probably been caused by the distribution of nursery stock carrying winter eggs. This mite is stated to be an important secondary pest (due to the effects of chemical sprays killing natural enemies) of commercial ...
