EFFECTS OF GREEN MANURING, FARMYARD MANURE, AND STRAW ON THE ORGANIC MATTER OF SOIL AND OF GREEN MANURING ON AVAILABLE NITROGEN

Journal of Soil Science, 1970
Summary In an experiment on green manuring started at Woburn in 1936, farmyard manure (FYM) was applied in alternate years until 1954 and straw similarly from then until 1963. Various green manures were grown from 1936 to 1953. From 1954 to 1963 ryegrass and trefoil were grown either each year or in alternate years; in 1964 and 1965 ...

Variation and spread of resistomes in swine manure, manure slurries, and long-term manure-fertilized soils

Frontiers in Microbiology
Background Application of swine manure to soils exacerbates environmental antimicrobial resistance (AMR). However, a comprehensive evaluation of anaerobic digestion’s (AD) mitigation potential against AMR and its influencing factors in swine manure-to-soil systems remains lacking.

Eco‐Efficient in Mediterranean Olive Grove Systems: Insights From a Life Cycle Cost Analysis in Southern Portugal

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study assesses and compares the eco‐efficiency of six olive production systems in the Alentejo region, southern Portugal, employing a life cycle costing (LCC) approach directly integrated with a prior life cycle assessment (LCA). Although LCC has been increasingly applied to Mediterranean olive‐growing, empirical research in Portugal ...
