will receive water 5 inches in depth as well as the C. vialis. A soil measuring kit will be used to run various tests on the two different plants. A tape measure will also be used to determine the height of the surviving plant. The experimental group will receive the water with the fertilizer that includes nitrates, plotting soil and light from the sun. The control group will receive regular water, with no fertilizer, plotting soil and sunlight. The two plants will compete for the same resources…

(Morgan, Bending and White, 2005) The interaction between plants and beneficial microbes is necessary for the protection of plants, both from pathogenic microbes (Whipps, 2014) but also the buildup of toxic substances which the plant may absorb from the soil. (Morgan, Bending and White,…

Stabilize The Soil Before Building Your Parking Lot Sometimes, it's not possible to begin construction work until the soil has been stabilized. In order to put down a road or parking lot, the soil has to be compacted to hold the weight of the pavement without shifting. If you need to add a new parking lot but the soil isn't suitable because it is sandy, then soil stabilization might be able to help. Here's an overview of how it works. Stabilization Leaves The Soil In Place An alternative to…

Like other countries in South and Central America, Panama has had some serious environmental issues. For a lot of the country’s history, money had more importance than conservation, and an ethic of “man over nature” pervaded the culture. Forests were chopped down routinely to make room for cattle. However, in the 20th century Panama started to take positive steps in the opposite direction. The country started to create protected areas (including parks and wildlife refuges), write environmental…

in population. The quality of soil is of paramount importance when it comes to planting crops. A major factor attributed to soil quality is the presence of earthworms. Earthworms are very important in the world of agriculture and can help maximize crop yields. In this study, the effects of earthworms on varying soil pHs and soil density were viewed. Earthworms (Lumbricus terrestris) are very beneficial for the soil. They change the structure and composition of the soil, they alter water…

by creating unnecessary roots in the search of more nutrients. The hypal bridge network's second task is to equally share all nutrients available in the soil after connecting the host to nearby plants that may be stronger and of negative impact to the the host. The third task of the hypal bridge network is to release spores that enrich the soil. By doing this Glomus versiforme creates a safe zone that can react better to drought, pathogenic fungi, and nemathodes. The study of mycorrhiza with…

DROUGHT ADAPTATIONS IN KENYA INTRODUCTION The Lancet commission on Health and Climate change June 2015 list four direct effect of climate change; ’Increase heat stress, floods, drought and increased frequency of intense storms”( The Lancet, 2015). Who. int (2015) describes drought as a period in the climate cycle caused by lack of rainfall that result in lack of water that then leads to food shortages. The populations mostly affected by this climate induced disaster are; people of low social…

Water is a key to organizing all creatures lives and is important in many land surface disciplines such as agriculture, hydrology and environmental science (Delworth and Manabe, 1989). Especially, soil moisture is vital of importance to plant in order to maintain its life processes biologically. Water constitutes 80 to 90% of the fresh weight of most herbaceous plant parts and more than 50% of the fresh weight of woody plants. On the other hand, increasing population and decreasing water source…
