Economic sustainability of biogas production from animal manure: a regional circular economy model [PDF]
, 2018 Purpose: This paper aims to understand the implementation of a circular economic business where animal manure is used to produce biogas and alternative fertilizer in a regional network of manure suppliers and biogas producers and to reveal the impacts of

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 2, Issue 6, Page 493-506, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Sustainable agriculture intensification is an urgent challenge in developing countries including Tanzania. One potential solution is to adopt farming systems that increase farm production by optimizing resource use efficiency, and integrated aquaculture system, which involves farming of fish and crops, is an example of such systems.

Cover crops affect soybean yield components, but not grain quality
Agronomy Journal, Volume 114, Issue 6, Page 3193-3205, November/December 2022., 2022 Abstract Cover cropping is mainly used to prevent soil erosion, but the effects of individual cover crops on the subsequent soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] are hardly known. Therefore, two annual field trials with 15 cover crop species and bare fallow as control were conducted in semi‐arid East Austria in 2016 and 2017.

Agronomy Journal, Volume 114, Issue 6, Page 3155-3172, November/December 2022., 2022 Abstract Developing countries, especially those in hot and dry areas, need more attention to achieve sustainable development as they apply excessive inputs in production processes. The present study aims to quantify the amount of environmental emissions and determine the most appropriate pattern of energy use in the date (Phoenix dactylifera L ...

Can soil biology tests improve phosphorus and potassium corn fertilizer recommendations?
Agronomy Journal, Volume 114, Issue 6, Page 3457-3472, November/December 2022., 2022 Abstract Integrating soil health (SH) biological properties with soil fertility (SF) evaluations offers a unique opportunity to potentially refine fertilizer recommendations. The objectives of this research included: (a) evaluating current University of Missouri P and K fertilizer recommendations for corn (Zea mays L.) and (b) assess whether SH ...

Comparison of plant proximal sensing approaches for nitrogen supply detection in crops
Agronomy Journal, Volume 114, Issue 6, Page 3317-3328, November/December 2022., 2022 Abstract Nondestructive proximal sensors can be an efficient source of information of N status in crops for localized and rapid adjustment of fertilization applications. The aim of this study was to compare two transmittance/reflectance‐based sensors (SPAD, ASD) and a florescence‐based sensor (Multiplex) in their ability to measure N content in corn ...

Disruption of a Planetary Nitrogen Cycle as Evidence of Extraterrestrial Agriculture [PDF]
ApJL (2022) 929: L28, 2022 Agriculture is one of the oldest forms of technology on Earth. The cultivation of plants requires a terrestrial planet with active hydrological and carbon cycles and depends on the availability of nitrogen in soil. The technological innovation of agriculture is the active management of this nitrogen cycle by applying fertilizer to soil, at first ...

“Manures and their Uses” [PDF]
Nature, 1890 ALLOW me to thank the well-known writer “W.” for his review of the above-mentioned book. “W.” does not hold with the view that “farmyard manure is erroneously supposed to contain all the necessary plant-foods required for the growth of plants.” I believe, with M. Ville and others, that “the farmer who uses nothing but farmyard manure exhausts his land.”

METHODS OF DISINFECTION OF MANURE AND MANURE EFFLUENTS
THEORY AND PRACTICE OF PARASITIC DISEASE CONTROL, 2020 The problem of environmental pollution has now acquired global significance. Helminth eggs in liquid manure laid in open-type sedimentation tanks in October-November, remain viable for 12 months or more, and in spring-summer manure for 4–5 months. Therefore, uninfected liquid manure in both winter and summer poses a serious threat of contamination of ...

Detecting Environmental Violations with Satellite Imagery in Near Real Time: Land Application under the Clean Water Act [PDF]
, 2022 This paper introduces a new, highly consequential setting for the use of computer vision for environmental sustainability. Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) (aka intensive livestock farms or "factory farms") produce significant manure and pollution.
