developing communities. One form of aquaculture is hydroponics. Hydroponics is a method of growing plants using mineral nutrient solutions in water without the use of soil (“Hydroponics”). Using this method has many benefits with very few disadvantages. With hydroponics‚ there is no soil needed‚ which means there is no limit of growth due to soil types. Because water is recycled‚ much less is required for growing plants‚ which is a much more efficient process in dry areas such as Haiti. There is no loss

The results usually include saving in construction cost and reduction of implementation time. There are number of techniques available for improving the mechanical and engineering properties of the soil. However‚ each technique has some limitations and suit abilities to get maximum improvement in the soil conditions with minimum effort. Some of the

Tsunamis become disasters because of the human context in which they occur. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Use examples of known tsunami events recently and in the past to illustrate your arguments. According to Wisner et al 2004‚ "disasters occur when hazards meet vulnerability‚” implying that in unpopulated areas hazards can not become disasters as there is no vulnerability (Quarantelli E.L. 1998). Without humans being involved‚ tsunamis are nothing but giant waves; they may modify

them with a way to grow in areas and times they might not have been able to otherwise. This can mean that soil quality is not a factor and that the farmers can have more control over their own microclimate within a greenhouse. Hydroponics suggests that anyone anywhere can grow his or her own high quality produce under limited conditions. Hydroponics is a method of growing plants without soil. It is the fastest growing sector of agriculture‚ and it could very well dominate food production in the future

Husbandry”. A weed is a plant growing in a place where it is not desired (Buchholtz‚ 1967; Klingman and Noordhoff‚ 1961; Patil et al.‚ 2010). The plants growing in agricultural fields having more negative values and competing with the main crops for soil‚ water‚ nutrients etc. are known as weeds (Ali et al.‚ 2003; Muzik‚ 1970). Zimmerman (1976) believes that the term “weed” should be used to describe plants that have all the following characteristics: (1) they colonize disturbed habitats‚ (2) they

The incorporation of soil management techniques such as mulching‚ inter-cropping and crop rotation are integral components of an organic farming system. Organic farming is a farming system that promotes‚ among other practices‚ the use of organic fertilizers. Organic matter is an essential component of healthy soils‚ and all sound farming practices

SOIL POLLUTION INTRODUCTION Soil is the thin layer of organic and inorganic materials that covers the Earth’s rocky surface. The organic portion‚ which is derived from the decayed remains of plants and animals‚ is concentrated in the dark uppermost topsoil. The inorganic portion made up of rock fragments‚ was formed over thousands of years by physical and chemical weathering of bedrock. Productive soils are necessary for agriculture to supply the world with sufficient
