Chemical Fertilizers vs. Organic Fertilizers INTRODUCTION Agriculture is the most primitive occupation of the people which mainly needs land to grow different crops for food and as raw materials for different industries. Industrial use of agriculture for supplying raw materials came much later. Originally land was used for agriculture to supply food for human beings by the use of organic manures particularly animal dung. At the beginning land was used in its natural form to grow food. Land contains

In addition‚ the duration of the project worked is increasing as the soils needs longer time to dry up and compact in the form good foundation. Soil Erosion Soil erosion will bring impacts when

piles driven side by side into the ground‚ thus forming a continuous vertical wall for the purpose of retaining an earth bank. They are commonly used for: (1) water front structures‚ (2) temporary constructions‚ (3) light weight construction where sub soil is poor for supporting a retaining wall. A sheet pile may be of three types: Cantilever sheet piling Anchored sheet piling Braced sheeting Cellular cofferdams The design of sheet pile retaining walls requires several successive operations:

tested how soil would absorb water based on different places. Distance from a group of trees‚ distance from a swamp‚ and different types of soil were tested. From the results collected‚ you can not prove‚ but you can infer that the ability to absorb increases as you go farther away from a swamp‚ and a group of trees. The ability to absorb also increases based on how much silt is in soil. Introduction In the first article‚ which was a research paper called “Surface runoff and soil water percolation

project was to sustain a more constant source of water for plants. A circuit with a temperature detector was intentionally designed that recognizes any rise of soil temperature. The thermistor‚ temperature detector‚ is a special type of resistor whose resistance varies significantly with the temperature. As the temperature of the soil rises‚ the thermal device changes its internal resistance‚ saturating the bipolar junction transistors‚ permitting the current to flow‚ triggering the relay‚ and

the uptake of nutrients such as P‚ N‚ K‚ Cu‚ Zn and Ca by plants especially in soils low in these nutrients. Since P is the most limiting nutrient in tropical soils‚ mycorrhizas are vital for improving P nutrition particularly for cultivated plants. External hyphae can absorb and translocate P to the host from soil outside the root depletion zone. The thin mycorrhizal hyphae (2-4 μm in diameter) are able to penetrate soil pores not accessible to the root hairs which are about five times larger than

clearly depict that the amount of moisture in the soil on the south facing slope is much higher than that of the north facing slope. On average‚ the south facing slope contains 3.5 units of water while the north facing slope only contains 1.3 units of water in its soil. Therefore the amount of moisture in the soil on the south facing slope is signficantly more that of the north facing slope. As can be seen in Figure 4.1‚ all 10 sites have lower soil moisture contents on the north facing slope. This

What is Salinity? Salinity – Salinity can be defined as the condition where the quantity of salt causes problems in the soil and impacts in the landscape. The term salinity can be classified in numerous diverse ways: irrigation salinity‚ dryland salinity‚ urban salinity‚ river salinity and industrial salinity. These contrasting types of salinity are arranged to how and where the salt has been located and what the effects are. An example of salinity is the amount of salt that is measured in a fish
