gathered 25 lima beans and made 5 groups for different calcium concentrations (0 mg‚ 100 mg‚ 200 mg‚ 300 mg‚ 400 mg). I used constant variables such as the amount of water‚ soil‚ and light to ensure the accuracy of the results. The growth of the lima beans was recorded over a period of 5 days. Hypothesis: If calcium is added to the soil in greater amounts (0mg‚ 100mg‚ 200mg‚ 300mg‚ 400mg)‚ then the lima beans will grow healthier and taller because calcium aids in the uptake of nutrients in plants. Rationale:

Organic Mulch for Tomato Plants Abstract Mulching in agricultural provides a safe yet equally profitable method of enriching and fertilizing the soil planted with crops. Most often-used mulches are of organic composition‚ such as dry leaves and barks. Unlike synthetic fertilizers and herbicides‚ these organic mulches pose no or little damage to the soil and crops. In this study‚ the effectiveness of dried papaya leaves as organic mulch for tomato was tested. Papaya mulches in different thickness

boring for soil type will provide an essential information to determine the amount‚ kind‚ and the cost of safety equipment needed to execute the work in the safest manner possibly as a general manner. Specifically‚ in this case of study‚ shoring requirement was more likely dependable on the width and depth of the trench. The accident was avoidable if the company employee did follow the shoring system element in the table (7.2 & 7.1)

As part of a five-state region affected by severe drought and soil erosion‚ the "Dust Bowl" as it was called was result of several factors. Cyclical drought and farming of marginally productive acreage was exacerbated by a lack of soil conservation methods. Because the disaster lasted throughout the 1930’s‚ the lives of every Plains resident and expectations of farming the region changed forever. The settlement and development of the Southern Plains came relatively late. Not recognizing the problems

interactions becoming skewed or unsettled can lead to a rapid decline in the numbers of the mangroves in any environment. A relatively simple example of this would be to project the effects of having a sudden decrease in the pH levels of the water and soil surrounding the mangroves. This could easily occur due to pollution and improper disposal of waste products. At lower pH levels (more acidic environments)‚ the mangroves will begin to be poisoned. Aside from the obvious corrosive properties of having

Sinkholes are incredible destructive unpredictable natural disasters. Florida has many sinkhole occurrences‚ caused by its limestone soil weakening with dried up water pockets in it. Much like every other natural disaster‚ sinkholes do take lives. Sinkholes tend to most occur in the mid-Florida to Tampa area. Though sinkholes are not very talked about or are normal occurrences‚ they do happen and many people do not know what they are. A sinkhole is a natural hole that forms in the Earth’s

household use‚ manufacturing‚ agriculture‚ and industries‚ thereby reducing the burden on environment. Recycling can turn the wasted resources that end up on street corners into a valuable commodity to boost agricultural production and fertility of soil. It helps in providing new jobs‚ developing new skills and contributing to community projects and social cohesion. Recycling can also reduce the amount of waste going to landfill and incineration. There are numerous reasons of recycling‚ including
