Soil contamination of agricultural watersheds can increase to deteriorate water quality, human health, crop production and aquatic ecology. In particular, it is important understand the impacts soil heavy metal from livestock excretion because has been gradually increasing due rapid growth industry. this study, analyze characteristics in intensive farming watersheds, we selected where heads amo...

The Lower Rio Grande Valley (LRGV) of south Texas is an agriculturally rich area supporting intensive production of vegetables, fruits, grain sorghum, and cotton. Modern agricultural practices involve the combined use of irrigation with the application of large amounts of agrochemicals to maximize crop yields. Intensive agricultural activities in past decades might have caused potential contami...

Over the past few decades the area of farmland under organic management has significantly and continuously increased [1]. This trend, observed across all continents, has been accompanied by a strong expansion of the market for organically produced goods, and a substantial increase of organic farming research efforts, funded through national and international programmes. At the same time, with t...

Fruit production has faced many challenges in recent years as society seeks to increase fruit consumption while increasing safety and reducing the harmful effects of intensive farming practices (e [...]

The appearance of farming, from its inception in the Near East around 12 000 years ago, finally reached the northwestern extremes of Europe by the fourth millennium BC or shortly thereafter. Various models have been invoked to explain the Neolithization of northern Europe; however, resolving these different scenarios has proved problematic due to poor faunal preservation and the lack of specifi...

A great challenge to science is to elucidate how agriculture can feed the increasing world population without damaging the environment, while preserving other resources such as freshwater. In the Seine basin, characterised by intensive agriculture, most of surface and underground water is contaminated by nitrate. Conventional agriculture has regularly increased the use of industrial fertilisers...

Forest cover transitions in the developing tropics are conditioned by agricultural change. The expansion, intensification, and diversification of agricultural land uses are tied to regional economic/environmental regimes and decisions of local farming households. Land changescienceandagrariansystems research sharean interest in the drivers of household strategies, land use impacts, and typologi...

Abstract. Traditional shrimp farming systems are generally susceptible to disease outbreaks, resulting in low productivity. However, the application of technology can reduce these risks. This study aims calculate production and examine pond water quality vannamei culture by applying semi-intensive, intensive, super-intensive through direct measurements field observations. The results showed tha...
