In recent years, residue-to-energy utilization has become an important energy source that can alleviate the reliability of fossil fuel, and agricultural residue (AR) transportation great potential for optimization in AR supply chain. However, various methods presented make their correct implementation difficult sustainable optimization. Therefore, four key issues bioenergy production have been ...

This study illustrated how crop residue-derived carbon interacts with non-residue carbon (e.g., native soil carbon) in agroecosystems and how carbon is allocated to soil organisms and respiration under different tillage regimes. The carbon dynamics in crop residue, soil microorganisms, nematodes and respiration were monitored using C-labeled corn residue. In addition, the carbon budget was esti...

This study presents the magnesiothermic reduction of silica into silicon. process occurs at a lower reaction temperature than its carbothermal counterpart. Furthermore, was extracted from sugarcane bagasse ash via thermo-chemical treatment method using, for first time, L-cysteine chloride monohydrate and used as precursor in production silicon using reduction. The as-synthesized nanocrystalline...

Evaluating the impact of agricultural practices helps policymakers and farmers in their decisionmaking. In Zambia, most households depend on activities, particular maize production. This paper examines adoption residue retention households’ yield northern Zambia. We used propensity score matching (PSM) method. By using probit model, we also determined factors that influence retention. The resul...
