conductivity, saturated hydraulic conductivity, soil productivity, and rooting depth. Somewhat in contrast to Moebius-Clune et al. is Congreves et al. (2015), who applied the previous version of CASH (Moebius-Clune et al., 2014) to study the effect of crop rotation and tillage system (no-till and conventional tillage) as the new Ontario Soil Health Assessment (OSHA). They likewise argued that the OSHA can provide better overall soil health score and the relationship of soil quality…
desertification and soil infertility. Traditional farming techniques of West Africa are not very sustainable due to the apparent issue of soil degradation. The nutrient depleted farms could potentially become more fertile if methods like agroforestry, crop rotation, cover crops, use of fertilizer derived from livestock manure, and shelterbelts are to be implemented. These sustainable methods can be demonstrated through organizations such as the Climate-Smart Agriculture organization. This…
George Washington Carver: More than just Peanuts George Washington Carver, is known to be the “Peanut Man”. He is widely known for his work with peanuts. Most believe that he invented peanut butter. However this is not a fact. There is so much more to this scientist than Peanuts. George Washington Carver was born into slavery in Diamond Grove, Missouri. The exact year of his birth is unknown but it is believed to be between possibly in 1864 or 1865. George never got to know his…
techniques, such as crop rotation and inter-cropping (cost-benefit). Essentially, organic agriculture is compiled of environmentally friendly manufacturing methods that avoid the use of damaging synthetic enrichers and pesticides, and employ crop cycling methods that enrich topsoil…
primarily on agricultural industry, including livestock farming or crop production. As a result of this, there was usually only just enough production to barely survive, and additionally, many people were constantly on the verge of famine. This was mostly due to the unpredictability of the current agricultural system, which allowed for bad weather and bad harvest to entirely dictate the economy. Not to mention, the complete crop failure experience every 8-9 years. In addition, contrary to…
Effective job rotation specifies the goal. Job rotation must be carefully planned. An optimum training plan helps the employee build upon the skills learned at each step of a job rotation. So, the plan involves the employee participating in a series of jobs on a path that other employees have followed that resulted in a fully trained employee, or the accomplishment of the goal (Pride et al., 2005). The Benefits of Job Rotation The benefits of having established robust job rotation programs…
The Middle Ages. It was a time known as the dark ages in European history. Just like today, the people living in this time period loved to be able to party, have fun, and go a little crazy, and that’s just what they had done. At these fun festivities that most of the village attended, there was drinking, games, and many professional performances. With the amazing variety of clothing and the weird ways to present food, the people living in the Middle Ages attempted to have the time of their lives…
Southern Hemisphere, where instead of summer it's winter,because it is not getting enough direct light from its star. Midnight has one moon that is 238,900 mi away. The moon does a rotation and a revolution of 27.3 days. During this process Midnight is also doing its own rotation and revolution. Midnight’s rotation lasts 26 hours, unlike Earth’s…
Introduction Mungbean (Vigna radiata) is a leguminous crop which serves as an important food and cash crop which is cultivated in Asia, Africa, Australia, North and South America. It is a short duration crop and requires low farm inputs. The world’s production of mungbean is more than 6 million hectares per annum and has the highest production in Asia. It is eaten as a vegetable and it is also processed into various products such as sweets, noodles and drinks. Mungbean is rich in easily…
represented almost 35% of global emission of fossil fuels in 2007 (Conservation Agriculture Carbon Offset Consultation, 2008).By using CA practices worldwide, carbon sequestration has occurred during the chemical reaction of photosynthesis. A numerous crops and plants mean a large amount of carbon dioxide will be absorbed intensively due to carbon inputs. Nevertheless, if soil erosion happens, the more CO2 will be released from the decomposed soils apart from less amount of CO2 absorbed by…
