Carbon sequestration in soils might mitigate the increase of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. Two contrasting subtropical perennial forage species, bahiagrass (BG; Paspalum notatum Flügge; C4), and rhizoma perennial peanut (PP; Arachis glabrata Benth.; C3 legume), were grown at Gainesville, Florida, in field soil plots in four temperature zones of four temperature-gradient greenhouses, t...

Intensive agriculture and increased N-fertilizer use have contributed to elevated emissions of the greenhouse gases, CO2, CH4, and N2O. In this study, the exchange of the greenhouse gases, CO2, N2O, and CH4, between a Quincy fine sand (mixed, mesic Xeric Torripsamments) soil and atmosphere was measured in a sweet corn (Zea mays L.) sweet corn potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) rotation during the 20...

pesticides are one of the major pollutants in the environment. the residue of pesticides has been reported to be at a critical level in agricultural crops, especially in greenhouse crops. tomato is considered as an important vegetable in iranian food basket and is produced in fields and greenhouses. so, the current study aimed to assess diazinon and oxydemeton-methyl levels in tomatoes sampled ...

Life cycle assessment (LCA) was performed in dairy buffalo farms representative of Southern Italian farming systems, similar due to several characteristics, with the exception wheat production. This work evaluated impacts derived from this management choice, comparing crop (WWC) or not (NWC). In agreement literature, economic allocation chosen as a useful strategy attribute equivalents by-produ...

Absolute sustainability gains increasing attention in the building industry. climate limits is often expressed kg CO2-eq/m2/yr. This type of threshold has one main problem; it specified per area, which rewards larger buildings regardless need that they fulfill. way setting may thus lead to increased future impacts from buildings. The purpose this study developing principles for differentiated C...

A field experiment was conducted in two consecutive years to find out the efficacy of poultry refuse (PR), mustard oilcake (MOC), and Furadan 5G for the management of root-knot disease (Meloidogyne incognita) of tomato. Soil was treated with PR @ 3 and 5 t/ha, MOC @ 0.3 and 0.6 t/ha 3 weeks before transplanting and Furadan 5G @ 40 kg/ha on the day of transplanting of tomato seedlings. PR @ 3 t/...

This study assessed the environmental performance and energy efficiency of electricity generation from rice straw using a combined gasification internal combustion engine (G/ICE). A life cycle assessment (LCA) was performed to consider conversion straw, production which based on Philippine farming practice. Rice is treated as milled coproduct assumes an burden allocated by mass. The results imp...
