MANURE:

, 2016
Manure is a crucially important animal product in many mixed and sustainable agricultural production systems but, despite this, it is frequently overlooked by zooarchaeologists who instead tend to focus on more widely recognised contributions of domestic livestock to human subsistence.

Investigation on the mechanical behavior of the multiple‐layered lining structure of a water conveyance tunnel with high internal water pressure

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study presents large‐scale similarity model testing (geometric ratio 3.6) of an innovative multiple‐layered lining system—comprising exterior precast segments, middle self‐compacting concrete, and an interior steel pipe—for high‐pressure (0.75 MPa) water conveyance tunnels.

Metagenomic and culture‐based insights into host and plasmid contexts of high‐risk ARGs in poultry farm environments

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Shotgun metagenomics and culture‐based isolate genomics revealed position‐associated high‐risk antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) signals across poultry manure piles and surrounding soils. Culture‐confirmed Enterobacteriaceae and IncHI2A‐related blaNDM‐5 plasmid backgrounds further highlight priority host‐ARG‐plasmid contexts for farm antimicrobial ...

INFLUENCE OF FERTILIZATION AND HERBICIDES APPLICATION ON SOIL MICROFLORA AND ELEMENTS OF SUGAR BEET YIELD [PDF]

Poljoprivreda, 2004
Two-year sugar beet trials were set up on two localities: Đakovo (Stagnic Luvisol) and Osijek (Dystric Cambisol). The soils showed acid environment respond (pHKCL 4.9 – 5.4) and low humus contents (1.3 – 1.6%).

Influence of Ash Applied to Oat Crop (Avena sativa L.) Grown under Organic Fertilization with Manure

Scientific Papers Animal Science and Biotechnologies, 2023
The power plant ash is an inorganic residue with a variable chemical buildup according to the type of charcoal used and quality. Depositing, stabilizing and eventually reintegrating the ash in the natural circuit raises a series of problems due to its ...

Farmers' Soil–Water Management Practices and Perspectives on Soil Salinization in Mirab Abaya District, Gamo Zone, Southern Ethiopia

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil salinization is a critical threat, impacting 20% of the world's irrigated lands and jeopardizing food security. In Ethiopia's Mirab Abaya district of the Gamo Zone, unsustainable irrigation methods exacerbate this issue. This paper examines local farmers' soil–water management systems and their awareness of salinization, aiming to educate

Maize Yield, Water Productivity and Economic Analysis Under Different Irrigation and Nitrogen Management Strategies Using Field Data and CERES‐Maize Model

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There is limited integrated evaluation of nitrogen (N) and irrigation management strategies for improving maize yield and productivity using crop models. The effects of N and irrigation on maize yield and productivity under centre pivot (CPI) and subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) using the CERES‐Maize model were investigated. N treatments were (

Do Sojourn Effects on Personality Trait Changes Last? A Five‐Year Longitudinal Study

European Journal of Personality, EarlyView., 2020
Abstract This study examined sojourners' long‐term personality trait changes over five years, extending previous research on immediate sojourn effects. A sample of German students (N = 1095) was surveyed thrice (T1–T3) over the course of an academic year.
