  1. 1. Sustainable use of calcium nitrate fertilizer under variable precipitation, soil properties and crop management

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Liliana Marcela Daza Gomez; [2023]
    Keywords : nitrogen.; calcium nitrate; ammonium-based fertilizers; urea; nitrate leaching; nitrous oxide emissions; crop yield;

    Abstract : Application of nitrogen fertilizers in agriculture contributes substantially to global greenhouse gas emissions and nitrogen leaching. Accordingly, there is a need to increase knowledge about sustainable farming practices to reduce nitrogen losses to the environment without curtailing crop harvest. READ MORE

  4. 3. Dissolution rates of mineral nitrogen fertilisers : effects of moisture and precipitation

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Christian Sigtryggsson; [2018]
    Keywords : hygroscopicity; deliquescence; fertilisers; calcium nitrate; ammonium nitrate; dissolution rates; rain simulation; enthalpy; precision fertilisation;

    Abstract : Hygroscopicity and deliquescence refer to the ability of a solid to absorb air moisture in which it dissolves and have long been recognised as properties having negative impacts on the product quality of explosives, pharmaceuticals, and fertilisers. Contrastingly, this thesis reconsiders and reappraises the hygroscopic effects of common mineral fertilisers, proposing hygroscopicity to beneficially enable quick dissolution under humid air conditions in absence of precipitation.

  5. 4. Methane emission from nitrate-treated tannin rich feed for cattle in Vietnam

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and Management

    Author : Sofie Winding; [2014]
    Keywords : tropical; legume; feed; supplement; ruminants; tannins; nitrate;

    Abstract : In developing countries such as Vietnam the population consumes more animal products for example milk and meat than before which requires greater livestock production. Ruminants contributes to more methane emission which creates a dilemma between food production and its environmental impact. READ MORE

  6. 5. Water quality in southwest rural areas of Morocco : A field-study

    University essay from Södertörns högskola/Institutionen för naturvetenskap, miljö och teknik

    Author : Nora Nid; [2014]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Former studies of water quality in southwest Morocco shows that some water sources in the rural region of Agadir are affected by intrusion bringing chemical values above normal in drinking water of the villagers. In this study, I want to investigate if the intrusion also creates increasing exposure of microorganisms and water borne diseases among the villagers. READ MORE
