The primary goal was to offer farmers a range of agricultural services, including interactive training sessions on best agricultural practices and soil testing through the OCP mobile School and Lab. The project aimed to alleviate the financial burden of soil testing for smallholder farmers, increase awareness of the benefits of ...
Institut des Sciences Agronomiques du Burundi (ISABU) is a government institution under the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock in Burundi. The institution is an umbrella under which various laboratories operate offering services in different agri-sectors. Its vision is to contribute to the establishment of a dynamic agricultural sector based on innovative technologies, knowledge and approaches ...
Soil nutrient testing equipment has revolutionized the field of agricultural management. These devices provide farmers and gardeners with accurate insights into the nutrient levels in their soil, enabling them to make informed decisions about fertilization and irrigation. In this essay, we will explore the advantages of soil nutrient testing equipment in field management. Accurate nutrient ...
Did you know that onions are the most cultivated crop in The Netherlands? and that it is the most widely cultivated species of the genus Allium worldwide? This crop is an herbaceous bulbous plant that is cultivated for bulb production either as biannual or perennial, depending on the cultivation conditions. Onions are among the most widely adapted vegetable crops that can be grown under a wide ...
Introduction: The Crucial Role of pH Level in Hydroponics In hydroponic systems, where plants grow without soil, the pH level of the nutrient solution plays a pivotal role in nutrient availability and absorption. ...
The growth in human population has had an important impact on soil and the services and resources it can provide. The consequences of human activities on soil resources resulted in the loss of biodiversity, accelerated erosion, desertification, compaction, nutrient depletion, and loss of soil organic matter (SOM), which is primarily made up of carbon (58%). Considerable losses of soil carbon ...
Soil testing has become a must-check item for environmental testing. In recent years, countries around the world have attached great importance to soil testing, which has led to great progress in soil testing technology. At the same time, countries around the world have increased their investment in soil metal testing, using advanced technologies such as spectroscopic analysis technology, ...
In 2022, the technologies available to growers are vast and varied, spanning from biological to digital, all promising to maximize yields. Inputs on the other hand are quite limited, with fertilizer supplies across the globe diminished, leading to high costs for the needed materials. At Sound Agriculture we are developing products and tools that work alongside current technologies and ...
Without taking the time to perform a soil analysis, it’s nearly impossible to determine what your soil needs to help your crops thrive. ...

It’s also specific to each cropping system and nutrient. Using modern technology, you can overcome nutrient-related limitations, improve nutrient availability to your crops and enhance the health of your soil. ...
A soil test should be one of the first steps you take in your landscape plan. Many of us never take this important first step, which contributes, to wasted resources and wasted time. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says soil testing is an “essential” tool that provides information on fertility and pH. Testing also indicates what amendments you should add to increase productivity of ...
Soil testing is an important tool for estimating soil K availability and determining how much fertilizer must be applied to realize crop yield potential and minimize fertilizer costs. Our primary objectives were to correlate relative rice (Oryza sativa L.) yield with Mehlich-3 and 1 mol L–1 HNO3 extractable K, define sufficient whole-plant K ...
Water Treatment Residuals (WTR) can be a potential source for available phosphorus (P) and Al, but the influence of WTR rates on the dynamics of available P and Al and plant uptake in alkaline soils are not well documented. Our objective was to evaluate the effects of WTR (Alum-sludge) on the agronomic performance of wheat crop grown in alkaline soils as well as P and Al availability and ...
A preliminary laboratory testing program was conducted to investigate the potential effect of vegetation on the hydraulic conductivity of soils used to construct levee structures. The testing program was conducted using a silty sand soil with a simulated root system. Testing apparatus included ...
Hitherto employed swelling test methods are time consuming and not reliable. Testing methods based on suction potential measurements are being introduced in order to evaluate the expansive potential.Swelling test results on three fine-grained soils are described in the paper. Two testing systems ...
A relatively compact soil testing system that is capable of performing monotonic/cyclic triaxial and torsional simple shear tests has been developed. ...
A mechanical, strain-controlled, variable frequency loading system has been developed for cyclic testing for soft soils. The system consists of a variable speed driving system (variable speed electric motor) and a rotation/translation converter (crank and crank-shaft system). It is capable of ...
A computer-controlled injection correction system has been developed to continuously mitigate the adverse effects of membrane compliance for undrained testing of granular soils. The system was developed with the explicit idea that it could be quickly and easily adapted to almost any up-to-date triaxial testing ...
The solution of complicated soil engineering and soil structure interaction problems requires the use of realistic constitutive equations and failure criteria. A recent international workshop held at Case Western Reserve University was aimed at assessing the predictive capability of presently available models for granular noncohesive soils. The results of tests conducted on hollow cylinders at ...
