What is in a label? Rainforest-Alliance certified banana production versus non-certified conventional banana production
Export banana production in Latin America is pesticide intensive, receiving much negative publicity regarding human health problems and environmental degradation. The Rainforest Alliance (RA) certification scheme was established to certify farms that met a number of social, occupation health and environmental standards set by RA and their certifying body, the Sustainable Agriculture Network (SA...
متن کاملGeostatistical Methods for Mapping Groundwater Nitrate Concentrations
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the spatial changes of groundwater nitrate concentrations by using geostatistical methods based on data from 119 groundwater wells. Geostatistical methods have been used widely as a convenient tool to make decision on the management of behavior of hydrochemical parameters in groundwater. To evaluate the spatial changes nitrate concentrations in groundwat...
متن کاملPotassium chloride in fertigation
The rapid proliferation of fertigation in modern agriculture has brought about a growing demand for factory mixed fertilizer solutions, as well as wide-scale dissolution of solid fertilizers by farmers in the field. Rules of chemistry and physics control the rate of dissolution and, hence, the nutrient content in the fertilizer solution. Potassium chloride (KCl) is the cheapest potassium-contai...
متن کاملSpatial Inference of Nitrate Concentrations in Groundwater
We develop a method for multi-scale estimation of pollutant concentrations, based on a nonparametric spatial statistical model. We apply this method to estimate nitrate concentrations in groundwater over the mid-Atlantic states, using measurements gathered during a period of ten years. A map of the fine-scale estimated nitrate concentration is obtained, as well as maps of the estimated county-l...
متن کاملControlling Nitrate Concentrations in Large Seawater Facilities
Curators of large aquaria where there is no significant primary production and water changes are impractical have been using biological denitrification to control high nitrate concentrations. The two denitrification systems described in this study operate in different ways: the Living Seas uses a batch system, while the New Jersey State Aquarium uses a flow-through system. The rate of denitrifi...
