Soil porosity: Maintaining good air-filled porosity is important, as plants’ roots and soil organisms need oxygen. In water-logged clay soils and compacted soils, ...

The soil you have can say a lot about the health of your plants — especially if you're looking at compaction. This is when the soil is pressed down so tightly that it closes the gaps between soil ...

After 50 cycles, the researchers observed a 6.8% increase in soil porosity and a 225.6% increase in surface area, both of which contribute to improved soil health. Additionally, the soil’s pH ...

Tilling or discing in organic matter to the soil can be beneficial, as it will incorporate faster. However, avoid overtilling the soil, as you can create a hard layer of soil that will prevent ...

The research carried out by the University of Nottingham demonstrated ploughed soils had a greater soil porosity (16% vs 12%) and larger pore size (0.84mm/sq m vs 0.49/sq m) compared to zero ...

Nuntachart Ratanaburi, a researcher with the TDRI proposes that increased porosity should be incorporated in Bangkok by using porous cement, asphalt, and "green" strategies to reduce flooding. This ...

"Basically, [soils] are naked, hungry and have a fever." But there are solutions, Watkins added. "Forty years of farming has taught me how benevolent Mother Nature is," he said.

Microplastics on agricultural water isn't farm-level issue -- it’s an infrastructural one. Wastewater treatment standards are ...
