Baseline Characteristics of Pristine Agricultural Pods Biochar
Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The valorization of agricultural pod wastes into biochar offers a sustainable pathway for waste management and the development of functional carbonaceous materials. This study comparatively evaluates biochars produced from cocoa, flamboyant, and locust bean pods using an autothermal top‐lit updraft gasifier with retort heating, a system ...

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Water is a fundamental necessity for our existence, but its rapid contamination is causing devastating effects on the environment and health of living species worldwide. Adsorptive removal of pollutants is one of the popular water treatment techniques because of its simplicity, affordability, and the broad range of available adsorbents.

Abiotic pulses and microbial activity lags in greenhouse gas emissions due to tillage
Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment, 2020 Tillage affects atmosphere–soil greenhouse gas (GHG) flux by opening soil pore spaces releasing pockets of CO2, CH4, and N2O. Tillage may also stimulate microbes responsible for GHG biogenesis and consumption at longer time scales following a discrete ...

Tillage Radish Planting Date Trial Dr. [PDF]
, 2014 Farmers are interested in growing tillage radishes as they may potentially offer many environmental and economic benefits. Tillage radishes are quick at scavenging excess nitrogen, provide good ground cover, and break down very quickly in the spring to ...

Experimental methods for wind tunnel studies of seed dispersal by wind
Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract The complexity and variability of natural environments make quantitative studies of seed wind dispersal challenging. Wind tunnel experiments offer a controlled alternative to investigate the mechanisms of seed wind dispersal. This review focuses on wind tunnels and the associated technologies used for studying seed wind dispersal, including ...

Effects of no-tillage and subsoil loosening on soil physical properties and crop performance : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Science in Soil Science at Massey University [PDF]
, 1998 Much of New Zealand's lowland agriculture integrates animal and crop production on poorly drained, easily compacted soils. Over the years, conventional cultivation has given rise to degraded soil structure on many farms.
