the soil fauna‚ earthworms have an important role to improve soil texture. The soil texture plays an important role in water holding capacity. Earthworms have an ability to enhance soil characteristics. It contributes to the breakdown of organic matter and release plant nutrients (Edwards and Bohlen‚ 1996). Earthworms are also considered as useful indicator of the health of soil ecosystem (Edwards and Bohlen‚ 1992) as to their role in soil fertility through fragmentation and mixed up the soil with

Lead-Contaminated Soil in Different Soil Treatments” particularly studied the plants capability in extracting the heavy metal Lead (Pb) from contaminated soils collected by the river banks of the Marilao River in Bulacan. Prior to experimentation‚ we tested for the initial Pb content of the soil and found that there is a high level of Pb in the soil which is not surprising for the collection site is near a car battery smelter. In the experimentation proper‚ we used the plant and different soil amendments/treatments

they need to rotate grazing from field to field before the fields become unusable. This would help conserve the grass cover and soil integrity. 2 Grass banking is a technique where cattle are allowed to graze on portions of land while others are allowed to recover. I would suggest the technique that they used in the Malpai Borderlands where overgrazing has trampled the soil and scattered tree seeds where the grasses had dominated. I would suggest working with government agencies‚ environmentalists

The location in the equatorial region‚ a number of lakes in the country and fertile soils has given Uganda a favourable climate and terrain for growth of tropical forests. The tropical forests are mainly located in the central and south western parts of the country. These include the likes of Mabira forest located in Jinja district and

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
