Water is essential for agricultural productivity and a vital component of food security. In areas with limited water supplies, new resources must be identified. Given these challenges, we attempted to determine whether the use treated wastewater vineyard irrigation compatible sensible methods within context circular economy, where resource sustainability key tenet foodtech. The main purpose thi...

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of natural bioactive products such as Manda enzyme (T1), Yangmyeongwon (T2), effective microorganisms (T3), and Kelpak (T4) on the growth and ginsenoside contents of Panax ginseng cultured in an aeroponic system using a two-layer vertical type of nutrient bath under natural light conditions. The growth of ginseng plants showed specific characteri...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate possible changes in USDA nutrient content data for 43 garden crops between 1950 and 1999 and consider their potential causes. METHODS We compare USDA nutrient content data published in 1950 and 1999 for 13 nutrients and water in 43 garden crops, mostly vegetables. After adjusting for differences in moisture content, we calculate ratios of nutrient contents, R (1999/1950...

Temporal variations in growth of the giant kelp Macrocystis pyrifera were examined in relation to ambient nutrient availability and chemical composition of mature blades, the primary site of nutrient and carbohydrate storage in M. pyrifera. The effect of nutrient availability on growth was well approximated by a Monod rectangular hyperbola, with growth saturating at ambient nitrate concentratio...

The remarkable increase over the past 40 years in some chronic diseases, including the metabolic syndrome, has increased the demand for government and international policies to encourage various approaches to decrease the risk of these disease. There are some prerequisites for working out successful national food and nutrition policies. Firstly, it is necessary to have a clear picture of the di...

Study the effects of inoculation with two arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, Gm (Glomus mosseae T.H. Nicolson & Gerd.)Gerd & Trappe) and Gi (Glomus intraradices  N.C. Schenck & G.S. Sm.) on the  herb yield, essential oil (EO) content and nutrient acquisition of basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) under drought stress conditions,The experiment conducted with 9 treatments and 4 replications. Drought stre...

Humic acid is a biochemical constituent of humus and increases root biomass and shoot growth by improving absorption of nutrients. In order to study the effects of humic acid on root and shoot growth and leaf nutrient contents of pistachio seedlings, an experiment was conducted of completely randomized design with five treatments in three replications. In the first step seeds of Pistacia vera c...

Soil nutrient is an important aspect that contributes to the soil fertility and environmental effects. Traditional evaluation approaches of soil nutrient are quite hard to operate, making great difficulties in practical applications. In this paper, we present a series of comprehensive evaluation models for soil nutrient by using support vector machine (SVM), multiple linear regression (MLR), an...
