The quality of plant life depends on the soil. Soil is rich in nutrients and also contains microbes. The microbes present in the soil helps plant synthesize food in the presence of sunlight. But we can expect much more from the soil. The factor that affects the soil quality the most is fertilizer. No doubt, fertilizers boost crop yield. But it also has some disadvantages. For instance, Unabsorbed fertilizers can move with rainwater. Ultimately these fertilizers will be part of oceans, lakes, and streams. As a result, there will be a dead zone in these water bodies due to excess…
In the US, this crop is of great demand due to its beneficial properties and recycling of energy that can be utilized for many purposes. Shrub willow is not too common in people but it is a great source of bioenergy. The quality and uniqueness of this crop this that it gives us a kind of wooden structure, after being harvested it transforms into little slices of wood that can be used to create bioenergy in different forms like biofuel, biochar, animal bedding and many other. A new research: The scientists and experts researched on marketable land to have a…
Parameters of carbon nanotubes extracted through plants: You can’t underestimate the potential and strength of these little carbon nanotubes which are much more tinier than a human hair but if you get to know the power of it, you will get into wonders. Those items which are produced with the assistance and usage of carbon nanotubes are powerful rechargeable batteries which handles huge megawatt electronic items, sports items in which concreteness and tightness is must, wind turbines that must be enough capable to produce energy. All these products which are providing a great value are result of carbon nanotubes. Uses…
Beginning of food contamination from the soil: Those pertinent that are extracted by crop plants is a way of food environment that are underestimated or undervalued. A famous scientist shared his views that we can save human lives from hazardous and poisonous exposure by taking effective measures through consciously studying soil chemistry with it’s exact application. We can make use of it purposefully to make our environment a better place to live in. Properties of arsenic and cadmium: Arsenic and cadmium are main ingredients of many products which we use in our daily lives in a minimum quantity globally. It’s…
Food Items are essential commodities in this world regarding necessity in our daily lives. Food traceability & quality management was never so important before. It has become a vital aspect of any food industry’s success and future, whether it is the production line or the sales & distribution process. In the wake of the current spinach, E. Coli outbreak and other diseases in recent years (such as SARS, e. coli, foodborne listeriosis, and salmonellosis), traceability – knowing where ingredients and products come from has never been a more effective policy tool. Food traceability is a critical element in improving food…
Effective use of manure to enhance soil and microbe class: Texas is famous and known for its rough and tough weather with dry air and less fertile soil. We assume that a fertile and effective soil is defined as having a great moisture with natural and quality substances involved in it. But this ideal perception of organic soil is difficult to get formed in such high plains. Lindsey Slaughter experiment: Lindsey Slaughter was one of the member of soil researchers community, along with his team he made a research by doing an experiment. He targeted two similar birds with a…
Almonds are a favorite healthy snack of many. It can be seen in every grocery store across the globe. However, California is the major producer of almonds. Almond trees are perennial crops with particular requirements and challenges for growers. In the recent almond research, Sat Darshan Khalsa, a member of the Soil Science Society of America and senior scientist in the University of California, Davis, tried to identify how almond trees use nitrogen. He presented his research findings at the virtual 2020 ASA-CSSA-SSSA Annual Meeting. How cultivating almonds and the traditional crop is different? According to Khalsa, deciduous crops like almonds…
The element nitrogen can be favorable as well as unfavorable for plants. On the one hand, it’s a vital element for plant growth. On the other hand, it is a leading cause of global pollution. However, sustainable use of nitrogen helps you have balanced positive and negative impacts. Nitrogen loss during food production is a trending research topic for most researchers. An American Society of Agronomy member, Xia Liang, also researches the same issue. Lian and his colleagues created a framework for accurately measuring nitrogen loss. They used a variety of food products and crops during this research. They have…
It is critical to regulate soil temperature, reduce water loss and decrease weeds for the proper growth of crops. Farmers can fulfil all these requirements of growing good crops with the help of agricultural mulch. However, plastic may also be present in the mulch. It can reduce water quality and degrade the soil. Moreover, microplastics can also enter the food chain and have harmful impacts. Recent research, published in the Vadose Zone Journal, evaluates different approaches for lowering evaporation from soils. They used sand particles coated with soybean oil instead of plastic. The research was led by Micheal Nicholl, an associate…
Drought has been a significant barrier to a successful crop. And it will not go away easily. Fortunately, a powerful and dynamic Duo of plants and microbes is here to help. The microbes living on animals and plants form symbiotic relationships with them. The microbes and the plants or animals they inhabit play an essential role in making life sustainable on earth. “We know that microbiomes, which are the communities of microorganisms in a given environment, are very important for the health of plants,” said Devin Coleman-Derr. In recent research, a scientist at the University of California, Coleman-Derr, studies the…
