effects of pesticides on soil organisms | Pesticides and pollution of the soil First, affect soil quality. Decrease biodiversity in the soil because they do not just kill the intended pest; they often kill many of the other small organisms present. Soil quality deteriorates and this has a knock-on effect upon the retention of water. Soil fertility is affected too. When pesticides kill off most of the active soil organisms, the complex interactions which result in good fertility break down. Plants depend on millions of bacteria and fungi to bring | Pesticides vary in their effects on bees. Contact pesticides are usually sprayed on plants and can kill bees when they crawl over sprayed surfaces of plants or other areas around it. Systemic pesticides, on the other hand, are usually incorporated into the soil or onto seeds and move up into the stem, leaves, nectar, and pollen of plants. | eng_Latn | 9,800 |
is hydroponics organic | Organic hydroponics is a hydroponics culture system which is managed based on organic agriculture concepts.Most studies have focused on use of organic fertilizer.he culture solution can be used as the hydroponic solution. Practical method of organic hydroponics is developed in National Agriculture and Food Research Organization (NARO), in Japan, in 2005. | Hydroponic greenhouses provide a carefully controlled environment to ensure optimal plant growth. Hydroponic gardening involves growing plants in nutrient-filled water so the plants can devote more energy to producing fruits and vegetables rather than searching for food. The process involves no soil but may include another material such as gravel that plants' roots will grow through. | eng_Latn | 9,801 |

how many seeds are in a pound of alfalfa | To take a closer look at the issue of alfalfa seeding rates, letâs start at the beginning with the seed itself. One of my references indicates that there are 199,000 alfalfa seeds per pound. If that one pound was evenly spread over one acre (43,560 ft.2), there would be in the neighborhood of five seeds per square foot. | Oats that are being planted as a cover crop for alfalfa are planted at 20 - 30 lb of seed per acre, whereas oats for grain production are planted at a density of 100,000 plants per acre. The fertilizer requirement for oats is one pound of nitrogen per bushel of grain. | eng_Latn | 9,810 |
how much fertilizer to use on alfalfa | Figure 3. A multi-year Purdue study found that the highest alfalfa yields were recorded when fertilizer rates were 50 pounds of P 2 O 5 per acre per year, and 200 pounds or more of K 2 O per acre per year.igure 3. A multi-year Purdue study found that the highest alfalfa yields were recorded when fertilizer rates were 50 pounds of P 2 O 5 per acre per year, and 200 pounds or more of K 2 O per acre per year. | To achieve seed stands of these densities, growers have been sowing 0.5 to 1.0 lb/acre (0.5 to 1.0 kg/ha). Considering alfalfa contains about 220,000 seeds per pound (485,000 seeds per kilogram) even these low seeding rates can be too high. However, even under the best managed conditions there is considerable seedling mortality before the stand produces its first crop. | eng_Latn | 9,811 |
when do i harvest castings from worm bin | The best way to harvest is to entice the worms out of their castings and into fresh bedding and food. âHarvestingâ worm castings means separating worm poop (called castings) from worms. The goal is to use the worm composting castings to feed your garden, while putting the worms back to work in fresh bedding. After you set up your worm bin, it should be ready for harvest in about 4 months. Attempts to Automate Harvesting. Iâve seen two homemade machines built to separate worms from their castings. One was a slanted wire mesh tube about 4 feet long that vibrated jerkily. | 1 Worm Castings reduce the acid-forming carbon in the soil, and increase the nitrogen levels in a state that the plant can easily use. 2 Organic plant wastes usually have a carbon-nitrogen ratio of more than 20 to 1. | eng_Latn | 9,812 |
what nutrients do worm castings provide | The castings slowly release nutrients needed for healthy plant growth and increased production rates for fruits and vegetables. Agrowinn's Organic Worm Castings are especially good for herbs, fruits, and vegetables.his allows plants to feed as needed for weeks and months at a time, as the worm castings release their precious nutrients into the surrounding soil. Chemical fertilizers usually provide only synthetic nutrients, much of which are quickly lost into the soil during watering. | Extremely dark and rich in texture, tests on worm castings have shown the nitrogen content to be 5 times greater than ordinary topsoil, the phosphate 7 times greater, potash 11 times, and magnesium 3 times. Castings will not burn even when applied directly to the most delicate plants. | eng_Latn | 9,813 |
cost of maize silage per tonne | Here again, this value could be adjusted if conditions warrant. For our example, there is 700 lbs. of dry matter per ton. Thus, $1.00/cwt. results in an additional value of $7.00. Adding the cost of the corn grain $18.50 and the $7.00 results in a total cost of $25.50 per ton of whole plant corn silage.This value is just slightly above the average obtained earlier simply using 8 or 10 times the price of corn.iven a corn price of $2.00/bu., these factors would result in silage being priced at $16.00 to $20.00 per ton. I prefer to use a method that is more complicated but takes into account moisture content of the silage in addition to the price of corn grain. | The value of alfalfa hay determined by our model is below typical on-farm prices and considerably less than the average price in 2008 ($172). If the soybean meal to corn price differential is $188 per ton or less, alfalfa hay never should demand more than a $60-per-ton of dry matter premium over corn silage.or example, at a milk:feed price ratio of 1.45 (June 2009 which was a record low), alfalfa hay is worth no more than $35 per ton of dry matter over the price per ton of corn silage (on a dry matter basis). | eng_Latn | 9,814 |
how to use alfalfa pellets as fertilizer | Make a tea and spray the liquid as a foliar feed while adding the remaining wet alfalfa to the soil. Fifty pounds of alfalfa meal or pellets will feed 1,000-2,000 square feet. Alfalfa Tea; Fill a five gallon bucket with water, add two pounds of alfalfa pellets/meal. | Alfalfa Meal can be used by orchard and rose growers as an alfalfa tea and sprayed on as a foliar feed (add remaining alfalfa to the soil). Use a handful per bush or sprinkling lightly down a row. You can also add Alfalfa Meal to your compost pile to feed the microorganism life.

roots and what absorb water and nutrients from soil | Through a process called photosynthesis, leaves use the sunâs energy to convert carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and water from the soil into sugar and oxygen. The sugar, which is the treeâs food, is either used or stored in the branches, trunk and roots. The oxygen is released into the atmosphere. Roots A treeâs roots absorb water and nutrients from the soil, store sugar and anchor the tree upright in the ground. All trees have lateral roots that branch into smaller and smaller roots and usually extend horizontally beyond the branch tips. Some trees have a tap root that reaches down as far as 15 feet. | Plant roots absorb nutrients in their ionic form. The best placement of fertilizer, the movement of nutrients to the root, and the factors affecting root uptake depend on the mobility of these ions and the rooting characteristics of the crop. Plant roots absorb nutrients from the water film around soil colloids. | eng_Latn | 9,818 |
what activity has caused kenya to experience land degradation | Human activity is the main cause of soil degradation. Agriculture plays a large part in soil degradation, especially clearing, irrigation, the spreading of chemical fertilizer ⦠s and pesticides, overgrazing and even the passage of heavy farming equipment. Tillage and the clearing and deforestation of large plots of land also lead to soil degradation. | Erosion is a natural process, though it is often increased by humansâ use of the land.

what was the cause of the dust bowl | exists and is an alternate of . The main causes of the dust bowl were extreme drought for eight years in total, and also very poor farming techniques on the behalf of the inhabitants. Normally crops are rotated (different crops are grown in an area each year or sometimes no crops at all) so as to never deplete soil too much. | To prevent blowing, these areas needed to be regrassed in the 30s. The soils in the Dust Bowl region have a characteristic known as âflocculationâ which, like fish eggs, causes small soil particles to cling together in clusters. This in short, facilitates the movement of moisture to the subsoil. | eng_Latn | 9,820 |
why is it important to reduce soil erosion | Soil erosion is the wearing away of topsoil. It is caused by factors such as water, wind and tillage of farm fields. The effects of soil erosion can be felt on-site, meaning at the site of soil disruption, because soil quality is reduced. | Soil erosion by water accounts for the greatest loss of soil in Europe compared to other erosion processes (e.g. wind erosion).

why is industrial farming good | Why Industrial Farms Are Good for the Environment. The advancement in technology enables farmers to manage their land and crops more efficiently. Feeding a growing population takes more food production than the small farm can handle. Solutions are still ongoing but farming is taking the steps it needs to ensure production meets the demand. Today, that technology is a regular part of operations at large farms. Farmers watch the evolution of crop prices and track thunderstorms on their smartphones. They use livestock waste to create electricity using anaerobic digesters, which convert manure to methane. | Replacing small-scale farms, where a variety of crops and animals were raised in congruence with single-crop farms and âanimal production facilities,â factory farming has wrought economic problems, public health concerns, inhumane conditions for billions of animals, and a huge carbon debt on the worldâs agricultural system. | eng_Latn | 9,824 |

How do DNA changes affect plants? | Epigenetics is the study of mitotically and/or meiotically heritable changes in gene function that cannot be explained by changes in the underlying DNA sequence but cause the organism's genes to behave (or "express themselves") differently. One example of epigenetic change is the marking of the genes by DNA methylation which determines whether they will be expressed or not. Gene expression can also be controlled by repressor proteins that attach to silencer regions of the DNA and prevent that region of the DNA code from being expressed. Epigenetic marks may be added or removed from the DNA during programmed stages of development of the plant, and are responsible, for example, for the differences between anthers, petals and normal leaves, despite the fact that they all have the same underlying genetic code. Epigenetic changes may be temporary or may remain through successive cell divisions for the remainder of the cell's life. Some epigenetic changes have been shown to be heritable, while others are reset in the germ cells. | Pesticide use raises a number of environmental concerns. Over 98% of sprayed insecticides and 95% of herbicides reach a destination other than their target species, including non-target species, air, water and soil. Pesticide drift occurs when pesticides suspended in the air as particles are carried by wind to other areas, potentially contaminating them. Pesticides are one of the causes of water pollution, and some pesticides are persistent organic pollutants and contribute to soil contamination. | eng_Latn | 9,826 |

Consequently, some gardeners need to add additional ammonium nitrate to encourage and enhance plant growth. | eng_Latn | 9,845 |
does iron acidify soil | Rainfall also affects soil pH. Water passing through the soil leaches basic nutrients such as calcium and magnesium from the soil. They are replaced by acidic elements such as aluminum and iron. For this reason, soils formed under high rainfall conditions are more acidic than those formed under arid (dry) conditions. | Fortunately, most U.S. soils contain enough iron for healthy plant growth. Excess iron can cause iron toxicity and affect other plant nutrients. Before you add iron to your garden soil, make sure a deficiency exists and understand its cause.Identifying the culprit helps put your garden back on track.or longer-lasting results, modify your soil. If a soil test confirms high pH and adequate iron, add aluminum sulfate to acidify the soil. Application rates vary depending on soil type and pH, but a loamy soil may need 2.4 pounds of aluminum sulfate for each 10 square feet to lower the pH from 8.0 to 6.0. | eng_Latn | 9,846 |
what is Bokashi composting | Bokashi Composting is a unique indoor product used to recycle food scraps into an organic soil conditioner and create your own homemade plant food.Bokashi means fermented organic matter. Bokashi composting uses anaerobic (without oxygen) fermentation to break down food scraps very quickly while avoiding rotting odors.okashi Composting can use all of your food scraps, including meat scraps, small bones, cheese, milk, fats, oils and greases, as well as vegetables and fruit. It is an excellent solution for juicing leftovers. | Composting is the natural process of decomposition and recycling of organic material into a humus rich soil amendment known as compost. For any business or institution producing food waste, this organic material can be easily decomposed into high quality compost. | eng_Latn | 9,847 |
what are organic fertilisers made of | Organic fertilizers are fertilizers derived from animal matter, human excreta or vegetable matter. (e.g. compost, manure).In contrast, the majority of fertilizers are extracted from minerals (e.g., phosphate rock) or produced industrially (e.g., ammonia).Naturally occurring organic fertilizers include animal wastes from meat processing, peat, manure, slurry, and guano.rocessed organic fertilizers include compost, humic acid, amino acids, and seaweed extracts. Other examples are natural enzyme-digested proteins, fish meal, and feather meal. Decomposing crop residue (green manure) from prior years is another source of fertility. | Organic Fertilizer . Many organic materials serve as both fertilizers and soil conditionersâthey feed both soils and plants. This is one of the most important differences between a chemical approach and an organic approach toward soil care and fertilizing. Soluble chemical fertilizers contain mineral salts that plant roots can absorb quickly. | eng_Latn | 9,848 |
what does drenching a plants | A soil drench applies a chemical mixed with water to the soil around the base of a tree so that its roots can absorb the chemical.Soil drenches are commonly used to apply water-soluble systemic pesticides or fungicides to combat pests or diseases attacking a tree.hoosing the right method for applying pesticides or fungicides to a tree can have just as much of an impact as the type of chemical you use.

Read on to learn more. Composting is a method of recycling naturally decomposing matter. Ingredients, size of the pile, local weather conditions, and your maintenance habits will affect the outcome. Note that shredded leaves, chipped wood, and chopped food scraps generally decompose more quickly than whole or large pieces. Hot, or Active Composting The quickest way to produce rich garden humus is to create a hot, or active, compost pile. It is called âhotâ because it can reach an internal temperature of 160°F (140°F is best) and âactiveâ because it destroys, essentially by cooking, weed seeds and disease-causing organisms. | eng_Latn | 9,852 |
definition biochar | 41(4):973-989. Definition: Biochar is black carbon produced from biomass sources [i.e., wood chips, plant residues, manure or other agricultural waste products] for the purpose of transforming the biomass carbon into a more stable form (carbon sequestration).ather, biochar spans the spectrum of black carbon forms (Spokas, 2010) and it is chemically and physically unique as a function of the feedstock, creation process (pyrolysis unit), cooling, and storage conditions. PURPOSE: The main purpose for the creation of biochar is for carbon sequestration. | Pre-Columbian Amazonians are believed to have used biochar to enhance soil productivity. They produced it by smoldering agricultural waste (i.e., covering burning biomass with soil) in pits or trenches.European settlers called it terra preta de Indio.iochar is a high-carbon, fine-grained residue which today is produced through modern pyrolysis processes. Pyrolysis is the direct thermal decomposition of biomass in the absence of oxygen to obtain an array of solid (biochar), liquid (bio-oil), and gas (syngas) products. | eng_Latn | 9,853 |
does lime kills lawn moss | Instead, moss takes advantage of low-density turf or other ground cover, thriving in conditions that are less than ideal for desirable vegetation. Hydrated lime and other forms of lime do not kill moss directly, but they can control it by making soil less inviting. | Signs You Need to Lime. One sign of a low soil pH is the presence of excess moss and weeds in your garden or lawn. Moss and weeds are acid loving plants and do best in acidic soil. Though not a guaranteed indicator, an excess of moss and weeds is a good sign that you should raise soil pH. | eng_Latn | 9,854 |
how to layer a compost pile | That's one layer. The addition of compost or soil is to provide the necessary bacteria to get the compost to start breaking down. If we don't add this layer the compost will still work, the addition just helps to speed things along. Then add a 4 inch layer of green material topped with a thin layer of an activator. Activators are a source of both nitrogen and protein, ingredients that assist the organisms to break down the material. | Layer manure with carbon-rich brown materials such as straw or leaves to keep your pile in balance. Seaweed is an excellent source of nutrient-rich composting material. Use the hose to wash off the salt before sending it to the compost pile.

results a detailed soil test will give | Soil pH is a measure of soil acidity or alkalinity and can affect availability of essential soil nutrients to your plants. Your soil is acidic if the pH is lower than 7, a neutral soil has a pH of 7. If your soil has a pH above 7 it is basic or alkaline. Follow the test recommendations concerning adjustment of pH. If your soil is alkaline you can add sulfur to lower the pH. You should add lime if your soil is too acidic. Add lime only as recommended by your soil test results. Organic matter in the soil changes continually. How much organic matter you have in your soil depends on rainfall, temperature, aeration, and many other factors. It takes a lot of compost, manure, peat moss or mulch to make small changes in percentage of organic matter in the soil. Typically good soil contains 2 to 10% organic matter. | Soil test.
