quantities of CF and/or BV on the physical, chemical, microbiological, and nutritional properties of CGW and on the growth parameters and nutrient contents of the ornamental plant peacock arrowroot. Materials and methods Selection and preparation of raw
in the 2009 experiment. Although the industrial hammer mill was fitted with a larger screen size, the higher velocity and greater capacity resulted in a material with physical properties comparable to material processed with a smaller hammer mill and
Organic matter accumulation near the soil surface of putting greens is of concern to turf managers because of its effects on soil physical properties that can influence turf performance. Soil OM is composed primarily of dead and sloughed plant
Irrigation methods, rates, timing, and frequency may influence the physical and chemical properties of the growing media thereby affecting root initiation, elongation, branching, development and dry matter partitioning between roots and shoots.
received the same amount of water, which was targeted to deliver an average 25% leaching fraction. Physical properties of mixes. Physical properties were measured using a 1000-cm 3 PVC cylinder with a perforated, removable flat bottom. The cylinder was
content and similar yields to Beauregard ( La Bonte et al., 2008 ). A second objective of this research was to compare chemical and physical properties (color, texture, DM, and sugar content) and consumer acceptability of ‘Evangeline’ and ‘Covington
on physical and chemical properties of biochar that contribute to retention of nutrients in soilless medium ( Altland and Locke, 2012 ; Graber et al., 2010 ; Santiago and Santiago, 1989 ). Graber et al. (2010) reported positive effects of biochar
needed on cover crop type, the biomass they generate, and the effects they have on soil properties and succeeding vegetable crops. Additionally, appropriate planting time, after cover crop soil incorporation, needs to be evaluated, since negative impacts
production. These changes include pH, soluble salts, nutrients, and potentially phytotoxic materials, as well as physical properties such as AP and WHC. In this research, we manufactured three container substrates by cocomposting biosolids with three locally
force some farmers to stockpile, bury, or illegally dump their spent PE mulch. Plastic fragments and additives can accumulate in soil, thus altering soil physical properties, nutrient availability, and microbial activity ( Bandopadhyay et al., 2018
