“Nitrogen plays an important part in many essential functions and compounds necessary for life,” says the University of Missouri Extension and can be found in various parts of plants... According to Cornell University Cooperative Extension, nitrogen loss can occur in three ways:Denitrification: Nitrate converts into gaseous forms of nitrogen which are lost to the atmosphere Volatilization: Ammonium (NH4) converts to ammonia (NH3) gas which is released to the atmosphere Leaching: Nitrate, which is negatively charged like soil particles and not well retained by the soil, is washed downward by excess soil water beyond the root zone of crops... Penn State Extension explains there are two broad categories of nitrogen stabilizer products: urease inhibitors and nitrification inhibitors. Urease inhibitors prevent urease from converting into ammonium, while nitrification inhibitors are actually a pesticide that kills a specific group of nitrifying bacteria that are responsible for the conversion of ammonium into nitrate. While these products can help protect your nitrogen from loss, are they worth using on your farm? More importantly, will they pay off?Consider Soil TextureUniversity of Nebraska Extension Soil and Nutrient Management Specialist Charles Wortmann says that like most practices in agriculture, you can’t expect universal benefits from use of nitrogen stabilizers, but it can be very beneficial if it’s well targeted to certain situations...

Argentina has experienced wild fluctuations in economic growth over the past decade. In recent years, growth has slowed sharply once again as dangerously high inflationary pressures have weakened domestic demand. Gross Domestic Demand(GDP) growth will be weak at best over the near term as export demand remains weak and high inflation impacts domestic demand growth. Moreover, Argentina's Economic imbalances could result in much lower rates of economic growth later in the forecast period...

Are CSAs still a viable business model for small farms? In the early 2000s, we hit a heyday for local farm and foods. Works by numerous authors created a resurgence in interest among consumers for “food with a face” - locally grown, seasonal, direct from the farm. What had been a mostly niche movement starting the 1980s that had limited appeal into the 90s took off in the 2000s. Farmer’s markets exploded http://cleantechies. com/2010/04/26/explosive-growth-in-farmers-markets/New forms of connecting with local farms emerged - specifically CSAs...

Here we would like to introduce trichoderma‘s effect on control soil pathogens. Trichoderma grows on the surface of roots, where it provides disease control and enhances root growth... Chemical controls protect only the seed where they are applied, and their protection lasts, at most, a few weeks... Trichoderma kills several major root rot fungi: Pythium, Rhizoctonia, and Fusarium. The process is called mycoparasitism...

Humic acid is a mixture of natural organic macromolecular compounds, which exists in all soils, plants and animals,and have been widely used in agricultural production in recent years due to their unique physiological functions. The one source of humic acids are the sedimentation layers referred to as Leonardite. Leonardite is organic matter, which has not reached the state of coal and differs from soft brown coal by its high oxidation degree, a result of the process of coal formation (bog > peat > coal), and high humic acid content as well as higher carboxyl groups. Now humic acid have been widely used in agricultural production in recent years due to their unique physiological functions... Mechanism of humic acid actionHumic acids range in molecular size from 10,000 to 100,000,and combine mixtures of carbon chains and carbon rings...

The Keenans were up to their elbows in infrastructure projects, animal husbandry, and a burgeoning farmstay business, and needed help in a bad way. Balancing a post and beam, lime plaster home construction project against caretaking goats and chickens, while juggling four human kids to boot, left the Keenans with little time for their personal lives... As a recent college grad excited about farming, I responded to their advertisement, and soon found my way to the delightful Keenan homestead. For eight hours a day (tea breaks aside - we were in The Wirral, afterall), I helped the Keenans build their future home, steward their livestock, and even watched their children. In return, the Keenans did not pay me, though I received a trailer for housing, plus three square meals each day (and tea - don’t forget the tea)...
