Due to global warming, many sectors have discovered sustainable methods. Many studies been conducted in various reduce carbon emissions. Cement production the construction sector causes an enormous emission, and put end this situation, pozzolan-added concrete, which is called green has into use instead of concrete produced with Portland cement. One materials used these concretes perlite. This s...

The invasion of the macroalgae Rugulopteryx okamurae is causing several environmental and economic problems along Spanish Mediterranean coasts. use composts based on R. as a peat alternative in nursery production could be valid for exploitation this organic material. present study evaluated three different substitutes potting media to grow tomato seedlings: compost okamurae, green horticultural...

Optimized mesoporous photocatalyst endowed with high specific surface area and large pore size was synthesized by sol-gel method. These large pore mesoporous materials (33.39 nm) were conducive to the movement of larger molecules or groups in pore path and for effective use of active sites. The high specific surface area (SBET, 99.23 m(2) g(-1)) was beneficial to catalytic oxidation on the surf...

Growing greenhouse vegetables is one of the most exacting and intense forms of all agricultural enterprises. In combination with greenhouses, hydroponics is becoming increasingly popular, especially in the United States, Canada, western Europe, and Japan. It is high technology and capital intensive. It is highly productive, conservative of water and land and protective of the environment. For p...

Hydroponic is a technique of growing plants in soilless medium by using sponge, rock wool, hydroton, coconut coir, and perlite as an alternative for crop production systems. Recently, biochar has been reported to be potential substrate hydroponic cultivation techniques due its physicochemical properties which can help increase vegetable production. A greenhouse study was conducted investigate t...
