Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) treatment of seeds is explored as a non-chemical method to improve tolerance to water deficit during germination and early seedling development in sunflower seeds (Helianthus annuus L.). The study integrates biological assays with advanced plasma diagnostics to relate plasma properties to plant responses.Two commercial sunflower hybrids with contrasting dormancy ...
The use of cocopeat is on the rise in urban farming. In this article, we will explore the uses of cocopeat and its diverse applications. Wondering what the term cocopeat means? Read on to understand more about his incredible product. ...

Geocell construction technology is a technology widely used in projects such as roads, railways, and river slope protection. Geocells can effectively improve the bearing capacity and stability of the foundation. The following are the general steps for geocell grass slope protection construction: Leveling the slope → Construction of drainage facilities → Geocell construction → ...
Most industry professionals will be familiar with hydroseeding, or hydromulching, which is the method of planting grass or other plants using a slurry of water, seed, fertilizer, and mulch. Because hydroseeding covers a large area relatively quickly and generally produces high-quality results, it can be an effective and efficient way to establish vegetation. With benefits like these, ...
In addition to helping absorb and trap water, the mixture of water and mulch helps accelerate seed germination and root growth. Hydroseeding is an effective water conservation tool as well. ...
Enzymes are biomolecules that catalyze chemical reactions in living organisms. In agriculture, enzymes play a crucial role in various aspects, such as crop production, soil fertility, and pest management. Agriculture enzymes refer to the enzymes that are used in farming practices to improve crop yield and quality. In this article, we will discuss the classification of agriculture enzymes and ...
When the temperature rises or falls, it has a huge impact on germination and the reaction may slow down or not take place at all. Different types of seeds have different requirements for the optimal temperature needed for germination to take place; this process takes place in a precise minimum and maximum temperature range. EH-POWERGROUND: PLUG ...
PROPAGATION OF CUTTINGS USING EH-POWERGROUND ELECTRIC HEATING MATS Electric heating mats are used to increase the rooting and germination rate of cuttings. They are manufactured specifically for this purpose and made in sizes to suit new or existing growing beds. The purpose of using heat specifically in the root zone of cuttings is to induce dormancy in the upper vegetative part and to ...
Hydroseeding is a planting process that uses a combination of seed, mulch, and fertilizers to promote quick germination and growth. This mixture, known as slurry, gets thoroughly mixed inside a tank before being sprayed in a uniform layer over the prepared ground. The speed and range of this process makes hydroseeding especially effective for both suppressing live fires and promoting ...
As landscapers and contractors continue to seek ways to improve the bottom line while providing exceptional service, hydroseeding is an option that provides incredible value to both customers and business operators. Compared to other more labor-intensive methods for establishing turf, like sodding or hand-seeding, hydroseeding is in a class of its own in terms of value. For small-to medium-sized ...
Raindrop erosion is a powerful, naturally occurring process that can alter a landscape and wash away soil containing valuable nutrients and newly sown grass seeds. While some may think it’s limited to agricultural and rural settings, raindrop erosion can affect any unprotected soil. A newly seeded residential yard, for example, could be susceptible to erosion without proper protection. The ...
Application of low quality water for irrigation is compulsive in facing water scarcity. Use of a magnetic field is an approach to overcome this challenge. This study examined the impact of magnetic field technology on improving germination under water of different salinity levels. An experiment was conducted to determine the effects of saline water levels, i.e. (S1):0.5, (S2):2, (S3):4 and ...
Composting of waste plant materials and its use in agriculture and landscape sites is an environmental friendly way of reducing waste material and conserving the environment. In this perspectives a survey has been performed at the Dubai based International Center for Biosaline Agriculture to compost the plants based waste material (lawn cuttings-grass) to compost. The material was inoculated with ...
The effects of exposure to nanoparticles of titanium dioxide (nano‐titanium) and cerium oxide (nano‐cerium) on gene expression and growth in Arabidopsis thaliana germinants were studied using microarrays and quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), and by evaluating germinant phenotypic plasticity. Exposure to 12 days of either nano‐titania or nano‐ceria altered the regulation ...
Nanotechnology, an emerging science, has advanced research in almost all fields of technology. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the role of nano silicon dioxide (nSiO) in plant resistance to salt stress through improving the antioxidant system of squash (Cucurbita pepo L. cv. White Bush Marrow). We found that seeds treated with NaCl showed reduced germination percentage, vigor ...
If you are attempting to ship your Bacillus powder products internationally to certain countries, your product may be sent for a third party plate count prior to approval. It is very important that you understand which plating method will be used to enumerate the product. If you don’t understand the method and the weaknesses of each method as it relates to Bacillus spores, you may have a ...
Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is frequently planted when temperatures are not optimal for germination and emergence. Delayed emergence, a common contributor to diminished plant performance later in the season, is often related to nonoptimal temperatures. ...
