Soil Amendments for Agricultural Production
The word organic, applied to fertilizers, indicates that the nutrients are derived from the remains or by‐products of a once‐living organism. Farmers are continually searching for alternatives to synthetic inorganic fertilizers to alleviate the escalating production costs associated with the increasing costs of energy and fertilizers and the problems of soil and surface water deterioration asso...
متن کاملEvaluating Bioretention Hydrology and Nutrient Removal at Three Field Sites in North Carolina
Three bioretention field sites in North Carolina were examined for pollutant removal abilities and hydrologic performance. The cells varied by fill media type or drainage configuration. The field studies confirmed high annual total nitrogen mass removal rates at two conventionally drained bioretention cells 40% reduction each . Nitrate-nitrogen mass removal rates varied between 75 and 13%, and ...
متن کاملStimulation of hybrid poplar growth in petroleum-contaminated soils through oxygen addition and soil nutrient amendments.
Hybrid poplar trees (Populus deltoides x nigra DN34) were grown in a green-house using hydrocarbon-contaminated soil from a phytoremediation demonstration site in Health, Ohio. Two independent experiments investigated the effect of nutrient addition on poplar growth and the importance of oxygen addition to root development and plant growth. Biomass measurements, poplar height, and leaf color we...
متن کاملAsphalt parking lot runoff nutrient quality: characterization and pollutant removal by bioretention cells
The objectives of this study were to characterize asphalt parking lot (APL) runoff quality, to determine influent factors to predict nutrient concentrations and loads from eight sites in North Carolina and to assess two grassed bioretention cell efficiencies to remove APL runoff pollutants. From the eight APL sites, event mean concentrations (EMCs) and loads were measured and statistically anal...
متن کاملBiofibers from agricultural byproducts for industrial applications.
Lignocellulosic agricultural byproducts are a copious and cheap source for cellulose fibers. Agro-based biofibers have the composition, properties and structure that make them suitable for uses such as composite, textile, pulp and paper manufacture. In addition, biofibers can also be used to produce fuel, chemicals, enzymes and food. Byproducts produced from the cultivation of corn, wheat, rice...
