Ammonia, a key part of nitrogen fertilizers, is central to sustaining global food production. However, its manufacture is ...
Plants fix 258 billion tons of CO2 in their chloroplasts through photosynthesis every year. For these cell organelles to work properly, they require certain minerals—particularly ions of the metals ...
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a leading greenhouse gas with severe climate implications. Its agricultural origins highlight the need ...
Operators across the APAC region have long struggled with the limitations of conventional aeration control systems. Mass-flow-based aeration control ...
University of Minnesota's Southern Research and Outreach Center’s Winter Crops Day draws growers weighing fertilizer ...
Farmers around the world rely on nitrogen fertilizers to sustain crop production, but in many alkaline soils a large share of that nitrogen is rapidly lost before plants can use it. A new study ...
Enhanced efficiency fertilizers have been available to growers for a number of years now, but are farmers rushing to use them in their fields? The idea behind enhanced efficiency fertilizers (EEFs) is ...
Nitric oxide (NO) is a key intermediate in the biological nitrogen removal process. However, its role and production mechanism is still not fully understood. In this study, a sequencing batch biofilm ...
Most of us know the 4Rs for efficient fertilizer use: the right source at the right time in the right place at the right rate. But what does this rule mean in the context of managing nitrogen for ...
This process involves aggregating sludge into dense flocs with low SVI30 values, utilizing equipment such as hydrocyclones and centrifuges, and applying chemicals like chlorine or biocides to prevent ...
Fertilizer is the second-most expensive input on the farm. Although the prices of nitrogen fertilizers were falling midsummer, anhydrous was still 13% more costly than in July 2024. 1 Predicting the ...
