Acidification and solar drying of manure-based digestate to produce improved fertilizing products
(Elsevier, 2023-03-13)
The increase in energy and fertilizer consumption makes it necessary to develop sustainable alternatives for
agriculture. Anaerobic digestion and digestates appeared to be suitable options. However, ...
Germination of Pisum sativum L. Seeds Is Associated with the Alternative Respiratory Pathway
(MDPI, 2023-10-09)
Germination is a complex process that begins with rapid water uptake and a marked increase in oxygen consumption rate from initiation of aerobic respiration. The mitochondrial electron transport chain ...
Recovery of phosphorus from waste water profiting from biological nitrogen treatment: Upstream, concomitant or downstream precipitation alternatives
(MDPI, 2020-07-18)
Mined phosphate rock is the largest source of phosphorus (P) for use in agriculture and agro-industry, but it also is a finite resource irregularly distributed around the world. Alternatively, waste ...
Unravelling the Combined Use of Soil and Microbial Technologies to Optimize Cultivation of Halophyte Limonium algarvense (Plumbaginaceae) Using Saline Soils and Water
(MDPI, 2023-08-17)
Salt-affected soils have detrimental effects on agriculture and ecosystems. However, these soils can still be used for halophyte (salt-tolerant plants) cultivation using brackish and/or saline water. ...
Direct and indirect effects of planning density, nitrogenous fertilizer and host plant resistance on rice herbivores and their natural enemies
(MDPI, 2022-11-30)
In rice ecosystems, seeding densities can be adjusted to compensate for lower nitrogen levels that reduce GHG emissions, or to increase farm profitability. However, density-induced changes to plant ...
