The Use of Compost as a Peat Substitute for Organic Vegetable Transplants Production
Two experiments were conducted to evaluate different compost mixtures as peat substitutes, and the effect of Trichoderma and mycorrhiza fungi application on transplants quality. Seeds of commercial lettuce (Lactim sativa L.) and cabbage (Brassica oleracea), a nonmycotrophic plant were sown in 'Speedling' trays. Plant growth response was determined in four weeks old seedlings (commercial transpl...

متن کاملThe Challenge of Peat Substitution in Organic Seedling Production: Optimization of Growing Media Formulation through Mixture Design and Response Surface Analysis
Peat replacement is an increasing demand in containerized and transplant production, due to the environmental constraints associated to peat use. However, despite the wide information concerning the use of alternative materials as substrates, it is very complex to establish the best materials and mixtures. This work evaluates the use of mixture design and surface response methodology in a peat ...
متن کاملUsing Scrap Tires in EAFs as a Substitute for Carbon
EAF plants normally consume coal and coke as reactants, alloying elements, or fuel. The price of these materials varies from € 0.20-0.35/kg. This is while nearly 10 million pieces of tires are annually discarded in Iran. The present study shows that scrap tires can be used as a substitute for coal and coke in EAF plants. Thirteen grades of steel including low, medium, and high carbon steels as ...
