whereas it enriches and fertilizes the soil planted with crop. It is both equally safe and profitable. Leaf mulch is like fertilizer. They are decayed leaves that are one of the best soil conditioners that can be added to garden or crops. Unlike fresh fallen leaves‚ which are quite acidic and use the nitrogen in the soil when decaying‚ leaf mulch adds humus to the soil and amends it. While compost is excellent for improving soil texture and adding nutrients to the soil‚ the broken down mulch (often referred

Agricultural Land Conservation The issues of land distribution and land conservation in agriculture attract more and more attention‚ especially when the expansion of cropland is hitting a limit since much more land is conserved for environmental purposes. Soil erosion is devastating the topsoil of land as chemical fertilizers are used to increase output within a limited amount of land. At the same time‚ livestock production expands at an ever-growing speed‚ worsening the land use situation. Livestock production

implementing varying pH levels of buffer solution into the soil. We have allotted a total of four days (Tuesday‚ April 10‚ 2012- Friday April 13‚ 2012) to examine the effects of acid rain. Purpose: To investigate the effect of implementing buffer solutions of varying pH levels in soil on the growth in height of radish plants (Raphanus sativus). Independent Variable: The varying levels of pH of buffer solutions placed into the plants’ soil Dependent Variable: The height of the radish plants from

faunal survey soil testing‚ air quality measurements and slope measurements. * Vegetation Survey- a survey was done of the vegetation at the site. Quadrats were tossed randomly within the site area. The vegetation within each quadrat was counted individually and recorded on our Vegetation Data Sheets. * Soil Testing- within each quadrat we dug up small quantities of the soil using small shovels. We then used our hands to examine the texture of the soil. Then a description of the soil content was

Quadrilateral just means "four sides" (quad means four‚ lateral means side). Any four-sided shape is a Quadrilateral. But the sides have to be straight‚ and it has to be2-dimensional. A quadrilateral is defined as any two-dimensional‚ four-sided shape that has four vertices with interior angles that equal 360 degrees. There are several quadrilateral variations that include parallelograms‚ rectangles‚ rhombuses‚ squares‚ trapezoids‚ and kites. Quadrilaterals * Parallelogram – A parallelogram

grown under full sunlight for photosynthesis. * Soil type: Cassava can be grown on most soils; however the best soils are sandy clay loams that are well drained without a fluctuating water table. Proper soil management practices‚ adequate soil drainage and limestone applications at 2-4 t/ha incorporated into the soil 3 to 4 months before planting are necessary for the successful cultivation of cassava in the following "sugarcane" soils: Washington Series‚ Waterloo Series‚ Couva Series‚ Freeport

to the soil helps produce healthier‚ more abundant crops; such a substance is called fertilizer. The researchers decided to make an organic fertilizer. Organic fertilizers are made up of organic materials such as leaves decay‚ they produce an excellent fertilizer. Fertilizers are also often by-products of some manufacturing process. Some organic fertilizers are waste products of living organisms. They also supply food for beneficial bacteria in the soil and improve the condition of the soil. They

Moringa in your diet‚ you can grow your own multivitamin! The Moringa tree grows to about 10 tall‚ with drooping branches. It thrives in subtropical and tropical climates‚ giving fruit and flowers continually. However Moringa grows best in dry‚ sandy soil. This makes it an ideal tree to grow in semi-desert conditions‚ as it provides both food and shade. Cultivation of Moringa - Easy Instructions 1. Find a sunny place. 2. Make square holes in the ground 30 to 60 cm deep 3. Fill the hole with loose
