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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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