appropriate amount of fertilizers and pesticides . Having an assortment of plants on the sides of the Yangtze will help stop any water containing pollutants, like nitrates, from flowing into the river; thus reducing eutrophication. As for nutrient managing, if farmers were to carefully “map out” a close approximation of how many nutrients they would need in order for their farm to prosper, then there would not be a large excess of nutrients going into the Yangtze River. Fertilizers and…

nearby groundwater.

Soybean biodiesel, on the other hand, has a net energy balance of 93%.

should be no more than half an inch thick and if it is there is a greater risk for disease development. Core aeration or a verticutter are good methods for removing excess thatch and opening up the turf canopy. These processes will help with getting fertilizers and soil amendments down into the soil. Core aeration removes thatch but it also decreases compaction, which greatly contributes to air movement. Aerating will greatly promote deeper root growth, which will create a thicker lawn. Heavy…
