Evaluation of microbial inoculation and vegetation to enhance the dissipation of atrazine and metolachlor in soil.
Four greenhouse studies were conducted to evaluate the effects of native prairie grasses and two pesticide-degrading bacteria to remediate atrazine and metolachlor in soils from agricultural dealerships (Alpha site soil, northwest Iowa, USA; Bravo site soil, central Iowa, USA). The Alpha soil contained a low population of atrazine-degrading microorganisms relative to the Bravo soil. Each soil f...
متن کاملAntioxidants to Enhance Fertility in Dairy Cattle
It is one of the paradoxes of biology that oxygen, which is required for energy production in aerobic organisms, is also very toxic. Many biological reactions generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) that strip electrons from biological molecules such as fatty acids, proteins and DNA. Exposure of cells to ROS can lead to disruptions in membrane structure, reduced activity of enzymes and other pro...

متن کاملAssessing the value of oilseed meals for soil fertility and weed suppression
Recent projects in New England have shown that growing oilseed crops for on-farm biofuel production has the potential to increase the economic viability of farms through diversification. Oilseed meals would net the highest return if sold as a source of protein for a livestock ration, but there have been several barriers preventing the establishment of this market. There are small amounts of loc...
متن کاملAssembly Processes under Severe Abiotic Filtering: Adaptation Mechanisms of Weed Vegetation to the Gradient of Soil Constraints
QUESTIONS Effects of soil on vegetation patterns are commonly obscured by other environmental factors; clear and general relationships are difficult to find. How would community assembly processes be affected by a substantial change in soil characteristics when all other relevant factors are held constant? In particular, can we identify some functional adaptations which would underpin such soil...
