Renaissance Studies, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Seventeenth‐century virtuosi often figured themselves as epistemic weeders, grubbing up rank thickets of accumulated error. In this article, I argue that these metaphors were unnerved by the shifting status of weeds—ostensibly unwanted plants from the margins of cultivated space, unploughed land or the disturbed soils between growing crops—in ...

Animal Segregation: The Biopolitics of Concentrated Pig Farming
Tijdschrift voor Economische en Sociale Geografie, EarlyView.Abstract This paper explores the possibility to think through the concept of animal segregation to understand the more‐than‐human geographies of livestock animals. By redirecting the analytical tools for studying the spatial separation of humans to the segregation of animals, this paper contributes to understanding the geographical processes of ...

Feed and manure use in low-N-input and high-N-input dairy cattle production systems
Environmental Research Letters, 2014 In most parts of Sub-Saharan Africa fertilizers and feeds are costly, not readily available and used sparingly in agricultural production. In many parts of Western Europe, North America, and Oceania fertilizers and feeds are relatively inexpensive ...

Processed manures sustain silage corn yield with amendment‐specific soil and forage response
Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 4, December 2026.Abstract In semiarid western US dairy systems, field evidence remains limited on whether processed manure products can sustain silage corn (Zea mays L.) productivity and improve soil health. A field experiment conducted in Logan, UT, during 2021–2022 compared compost, vermicompost, Sedron (a thermally and mechanically processed dairy manure), dissolved

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 4, December 2026.Abstract Land application of dairy manure is a common practice on dairy farms. Long‐term application of phosphorus (P), in the forms of manure or fertilizers, to cropland can lead to a buildup of P in the soil and increased soil test P. Understanding how additional manure inputs can influence P nutrient balances throughout agroecosystems in Connecticut

Selected Physical and Geotechnical Properties of Loess in Wairarapa Valley, New Zealand
New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 4, December 2026.Loess up to 10 m thick covers marine terraces, old river aggradation terraces, and gentle hill country slopes in Wairarapa, New Zealand. In the drier eastern and southern parts of Wairarapa, the loess is subject to dry summer and autumn and wet winter and spring in most years.

Managing Nitrogen Inputs and Outputs on a Dairy Farm
EDIS, 2015 In dairy production systems, nitrogen flows through both the forage crops and the dairy cows. Forage crops use nitrogen mineralized from manure for plant growth. Harvested crops are then fed to dairy cows that, in turn, use the nitrogen for their growth

The Economics of Manure Utilization: Model and Application [PDF]
A model of manure utilization is developed and applied to four types of transportable manure. Model results highlight important response differences among manure types and generally illustrate the diseconomies of manure production. For example, as manure
