Cow and Pig Manures While cows eat many of the same plants eaten by horses‚ weed seeds do not survive in a cow’s digestive system. Cattle (along with goats‚ sheep‚ deer‚ and some other animals) are ruminants that have a system of two stomachs to double-digest their food. Cattle manure is often collected as a slurry‚ does not have bedding materials mixed in with it‚ and will break down easily. For these reasons‚ cow manure is better than horse manure in a compost pile. Nitrogen level is lower than

7.4 Case Study: The Haber Process: Ammonia for Food and Bombs From: Eros Wang To: Ms. Irumekhai Date: March 30‚ 2012 1. Suggest five factors that could affect the production of ammonia in the Haber process. Explain the effect of each factor‚ using rate theory. The Haber process itself is a delicate balancing act because of all the factors that affect the yield of ammonia. In the Haber process‚ the nitrogen‚ hydrogen and ammonia are in equilibrium. So five factors that affect the

Intercropping: Should Large Scale Farms be Interested? As an Agriculture and Environmental Plant Science (AEPS) major at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo‚ I have briefly learned about an agricultural technique called intercropping in several of my classes. I have never learned about it in detail‚ but these classes sparked my interest to investigate the topic further. I am specifically interested in better understanding the pros and cons and if intercropping is a viable option for large-scale farms. My

for agriculture and day to day life is from bore wells. The company apart from producing soft drinks is also producing a fertilizer as a by -product. The Agriculture Department of the Government of Tamil Nadu is marketing the fertilizer at a subsidized rate. The said fertilizer is very cheap and the farmers are using the same for paddy cultivation. However the use of fertilizer has reduced the yield. Since the past two years almost the entire bore wells in the farm land has gone dry. Hence I am unable

Soil Characteristics Background Soil consists of the weathered‚ unconsolidated material on top of bedrock that contains organic material. Although these characteristics of soil seem rather invaluable‚ soil is necessary to support life‚ thereby making it very important to human survival. Soil has three main textures: clay‚ sand‚ and silt‚ all of which can be determined through their porosity or permeability. Porosity is the measure of space between soil particles. If spaces are completely compacted

abundant and are found mostly in farms‚ especially in provinces‚ like Zambales. People knew them as ordinary wastes or excreta released by horses. However‚ they could be used in many ways. One way of using them was as fertilizers for growing plants. But‚ people could not make it as fertilizers all the time. So another possible way of reusing horse manures is as an alternative source of fuel‚ specifically as charcoal. Instead of buying expensive LPG’s (liquefied petroleum gas)‚ horse manures could be another

found that toxic substances were not present in the water‚ leaking of sewage into the water has caused an increase in the number of aerobic organisms in the sediment of the lake bed along the south shore‚ and that runoff of detergents and household fertilizers has caused an excess of algae around the south shore. From the data and graphs presented to me on pages 2‚ 3‚ and 4‚ I believe the algae accumulation in the lake is the cause of the dead fish. It could be because the algae are using up vital oxygen
