Graphene could make fertilizer more efficient, affordable and environmentally friendly

Researchers continue to search for fertilizers that are more efficient and affordable. One study, published in the journal Applied Materials and Interfaces, looked at graphene as a carrier for fertilizers to exhibit these characteristics, without causing more harm to the environment. A team of researchers at the University of Adelaide developed a fertilizer carrier using graphene oxide sheets […]

Stocking density determines nitrogen distribution in a farming production that combines free-range pigs and energy crops

Free-range pig farming is typically associated with a high risk of nitrogen leaching as the pigs’ excrement help create nitrogen’s hotspots. In addition, the pigs’ rooting behaviors destroy the grass-covered soil. The following study, which was published in the journal Agroforestry Systems, aimed to determine the role of stocking density in determining nitrogen distribution and balance in […]
