These concerns have played out in many places. Globally, intensive farming practices have resulted in over application of nutrients that cause environmental damage, such as soil toxicity from nutrient pooling and seepage, and water quality issues . There are also human … Continue reading →

Cao and Wang showed that root exudates from strawberries inhibited the growth of strawberries due to autotoxicity. In hydroponics, Kitazawa et al. identified the causal compound of strawberry autotoxicity as benzoic acid. Further, Asao et al. demonstrated that destroying benzoic acid by electrodegradation … Continue reading →

Farmers also shared that in some circumstances, such as in early spring, they are not able to realize the full potential of a winter cover crop if they are forced to mow the cover crop early to plant cash crops … Continue reading →

To build on the results of the LDA, we performed a variation partitioning analysis to determine the level of variation in soil organic matter indicators explained by the soil texture variables, soil management variables, and their interactions . VPA was performed … Continue reading →

It is also possible that gender norms themselves slowly respond to female employment, in which case the longer term impact on violence could differ from the deleterious effect observed here. Rather than suggesting that female employment should not be encouraged, … Continue reading →

Under team pay, biased upstream workers are unable to increase the relative pay of favored downstream workers by distorting relative supply. As a result, horizontal misallocation of flowers was eliminated. Total output in teams in which the two processors were … Continue reading →

The output gap between vertically mixed and homogeneous teams points to vertical discrimination: it appears that upstream workers are willing to accept lower own pay in order to lower the pay of non-coethnic co-workers. About 86 percent of the output … Continue reading →

While all organic matter is originally derived from plant tissues, animals , and animal manures are a secondary and valuable source of organic matter. The decomposed remains of microorganisms can contribute up to 20% of the total organic matter content … Continue reading →

Direct observation of feed bunk behaviors would ultimately be needed to positively determine the underlying mechanism for this behavioral pattern among this subset of animals.In order to account for this informational redundancy, age in days at start of trial and … Continue reading →

If instead some cows were less consistent in their time budgets across days, then the sampling error imposed by the subsampling routine would be greater, resulting in a larger ensemble variance estimate. Thus, we would expect a stronger penalty to … Continue reading →
