Use of Cattle Manure as Auxiliary Material to Gypsum to Ameliorate Saline–Alkali Soils

Agronomy
Soil salinization is a major threat to agriculture and food security globally. The effectiveness of amendments on soil quality and crop production is management-dependent, and low-cost management practices are essential for developing countries.

Changes in Soil Chemical Properties and Rhizosphere Bacterial Community Induced by Soil Amendments Associated with Reduction in Cadmium Accumulation by Rice

Agronomy, 2023
Soil amendments have been extensively employed for the purpose of remediating soils contaminated with cadmium (Cd). However, the potential impacts of soil amendments on soil chemical properties, soil Cd bioavailability, total Cd accumulation by rice, and

Closed‐Loop Radiative Cooling Mulch Upcycled From Agricultural Residues for Efficient Soil Heat–Water Stress Mitigation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Conventional passive radiative cooling films rely on costly feedstocks and energy‐intensive fabrication, with poor end‐of‐life compatibility in agriculture. To address this challenge, a sustainable radiative cooling mulch (SRCM) is developed from waste maize leaves via spontaneous hydrogen‐bond self‐assembly.

Role of organic amendments in reducing leaching of sulfosulfuron through wheat crop cultivated soil

Emerging Contaminants, 2019
A field study with wheat crop was undertaken to examine the efficacy of two soil amendments, cereal straw and fresh cow dung slurry, in reducing leaching of sulfosulfuron to groundwater and its residue load in soil.

Climate Change Mitigation in the Dairy Sector: Uncovering Heterogeneity Through Eco‐Efficiency Clubs

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Combining climate change goals with economic targets is crucial for the dairy sector, which is a significant contributor to agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions worldwide. In this paper, we assess economic and climate change implications of dairy production with panel data of Irish dairy farms from 2013 to 2021.

Uncovering renewable energy policy impact channels on land values, the local farm structure, and farmland heterogeneity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Germany's Renewable Energy Sources Act (REA), enacted in 2000 and subsequently amended, subsidized national renewable energy production with fixed feed‐in tariffs for renewable energy sources (RE) from wind, solar, and biogas. Empirical studies suggest that the policy was creating windfall effects for landowners and attribute farmland use ...

Effects of mixed application of effective microorganisms (EM) and soil amendments on agronomic characteristic and quality of flue-cured tobacco

浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2015
Flue-cured tobacco is a major cash crop in China. Due to the scarcity of land resources, continuous cropping of tobacco was very common all over the country. However, the continuous cropping phenomenon would lead to change of soil properties and nutrient
