Soil Fertility Protocol [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The purpose of this resource is to measure the amounts of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium in each horizon in a soil profile. Using a NPK test kit, students mix a dry, sieved soil sample into a solution and chemically extract the N, P, and K as ...

A Multidirectional Textile Interface for Remote Control Using Dynamic Area‐Based Capacitance Modulation

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Here, we present a textile, wearable capacitive interface enabling multidirectional remote control by dynamically modulating electrode overlap and spacing via a freely gliding upper electrode. A forearm‐mounted prototype drives robotic and media tasks with 12–15 ms latency, maintains < 0.8% drift after 500 cycles, and remains stably functional at 90 ...

Comparative assessment of the impact of pollution, drought and acidification of the soil on its indicative characteristics

open access: yesSiberian Journal of Life Sciences and Agriculture
Background. Toxicity and biological indicators of soil condition can change not only as a result of pollution, but also under the action of unfavorable environmental factors. The aim of the study was to compare the effects of chemical pollution, short-

Evaluation of growth of Chlorella ellipsoidea in different culture media

open access: yesInternational Journal of Agricultural Research, Innovation and Technology, 2014
An experiment was conducted to evaluate the growth of Chlorella ellipsoidea in three different media viz,. medium I (pulse bran), medium II (soil extract) and medium III (inorganic) under the natural environmental conditions. The alga, C.

Data‐Driven Bulldozer Blade Control for Autonomous Terrain Leveling

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A simulation‐driven framework for autonomous bulldozer leveling is presented, combining high‐fidelity terramechanics simulation with a neural‐network‐based reduced‐order model. Gradient‐based optimization enables efficient, low‐level blade control that balances leveling quality and operation time.

The effect of environmental factors on surfactin production of Bacillus subtilis

open access: yesJournal of Crop Protection, 2017
Surfactin is one of the most efficient biosurfactants excreted by Bacillus subtilis which displays the highest potential as induced systemic resistance elicitor among all metabolites produced by B. subtilis. Environmental factors have considerable effect

The evaluation/application of Hydrus-2D model for simulating macro-pores flow in loess soil

open access: yesInternational Soil and Water Conservation Research, 2017
Soil hydraulic properties were mainly governed by soil structures especially when the structures is full of the connected soil macro-pores. Therefore, the good hydrological models need to be well documented for revealing the process of soil water ...

On the updating of medium-scale soil maps

open access: yesEurasian Soil Science, 2014
An approach for the updating of medium-scale soil maps is discussed. It is based on the use of modern remote sensing and geoinformation technologies. The boundaries of soil polygons shown on the old soil maps and their soil contents are corrected using geoinformation analysis of modern topographic data and automated interpretation of vegetation ...
