Former NASA Contractor Shares Tips for Choosing Tools to ‘Get the Job Done Right’ From contracting with NASA to drilling through Texas soil, Omar Hashem, a 47-year resident of the Houston-Galveston area, has skyrocketed his career paths in two directions. When the NASA Space Shuttle Program ended in 2011, Hashem and several thousand others in the Houston area were out of jobs and ...
There are a number of factors to consider when sorting through the drilling rigs on the market today. Cost is often near the top of the list, and even though it may be appealing to choose a low-cost option, such as a Deep Rock water well drill, many of the less expensive drills can cost you more in the long run. To help determine a drill’s potential value, it’s important to consider ...
We’ve all experienced it. The sun is beating down, humidity is soaring and the heat index is spiking. It’s a heat wave. Far more than just an inconvenience, extreme heat events are becoming increasingly frequent, intense, and prolonged across the globe. From major metropolitan centers to remote rural communities, the impact of these events on human health and infrastructure is ...

Agriculture in Sri Lanka is undergoing a transformative journey amidst numerous challenges, including the impacts of COVID-19, a controversial fertilizer ban, the struggles faced by smallholder farmers and increasing climate extremes such as floods and droughts. In response to these pressing issues, Sri Lanka’s Department of Agrarian Development (DAD), in collaboration with the ...
However, not all sprinkler systems are created equal—each type is designed to meet the specific needs of different crops, soil types, and environmental conditions. In this blog, we’ll compare the most commonly used types of irrigation sprinklers and discuss how they suit different crop ...
Whether an issue is seen at emergence or while inspecting the success of a foliar program later in the season, many of these problems can be traced back to unforced and avoidable errors at planting. Soil, not the calendar, drives planting decisions. While we understand the excitement of spring, planting into wet, cold soils can be detrimental and lead to ...
Carbon Intensity (CI) scoring measures a farmer’s carbon footprint, and it accounts for factors like cash crop productivity, minimal tillage, and cover crops to build soil carbon stocks. Like it or not, knowing CI scores and how to improve them has never been as important as now looking toward future market opportunities. ...

In today’s world, garbage disposal and waste management issues are becoming urgent. With the increase in urban population and industrialization, the garbage accumulation problem has become more serious. This is one of the reasons why modern landfill projects have become so important. Geomembranes play a vital role in effective waste disposal and environmental protection. ...
To accomplish this, farmers need to optimize their farming practices based on accurate information about soil conditions. Soil sensor technology has emerged as a powerful tool that enables farmers to monitor and manage essential soil parameters in real-time. ...
The AFS will retrieve a 7/8 in. diameter soil core from 0 to 12 in. deep. It is important to keep in mind that present soil conditions may affect attainable sampling depths. With simplicity and user-friendliness kept in mind during the design process, the AFS requires minimal operational knowledge to begin collecting samples. Compared ...
Furthermore, biochar insulation materials exhibit high fire resistance, providing an added layer of safety and protection. Soil Stabilization and Erosion Control: Biochar plays a significant role in soil stabilization, particularly in construction sites where soil compaction and erosion control are essential. When incorporated into the ...
The composting treatment method is to degrade the organic matter in the solid manure by microorganisms under the conditions of artificial control of water, carbon-nitrogen ratio and ventilation to make it mineralized, humified and harmless. ...
