  1. 1. The potential use of black soldier fly larvae residue as a fertilizer

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Agricultural Biosystems and Techology

    Author : An-Marthe Ingelaere; [2023]
    Keywords : organic waste; fertilizer; black soldier fly; residue; physico-chemical characteristics; sub-Saharan Africa; socio-economic constraints;

    Abstract : In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), the primary constraint of agriculture productivity has consistently been ascribed to soil fertility. A common approach to improve soil fertility is the use of fertilizers, both organic and inorganic. Though recently interest is increasing in the use of newer alternatives like biostimulants.

  3. 2. Modelling organic farming systems : is livestock needed for a functioning nitrogen cycle and food production?

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Energy and Technology

    Author : Franziska Johanna Galler; [2023]
    Keywords : organic farming; livestock; stockless farming; nitrogen cycle; nitrogen use efficiency; nitrogen recycling; nutritional value; human nutrition; food system;

    Abstract : Livestock has always been an integral part of nutrient management on organic farms. Environmental, economic and idieological trends are leading to an increasing specialization of agriculture away from mixed farms with livestock. READ MORE

  4. 3. Microbial ecosystem analysis of biochar-enriched soil in Kenya using microfluidic soil models

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Erik Karlsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Soil microbial ecosystem analysis; Microbe abundance; Microbe foraging; Biochar; Agriculture; Microfluidics; In-situ visualization; Kenya; SoilChip; Soil model; Minor Field Study; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Healthy soil is rich in diverse microbial life, and a healthy microbial ecosystem is crucial for any well-functioning agriculture. Soil microbes are essential for organic decomposition and nutrient recycling in the soil, which make nutrients available for agricultural crops. READ MORE

  5. 4. Comparison of three different colostrum feeding methods on passive transfer of immunity, growth and health in dairy calves

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

    Author : Caroline Laestander; [2016]
    Keywords : colostrum; oesophageal tube; feeding; bottle; suckling; growth; health; newborn; calves; råmjölk; utfodring; kalvhälsa; tillväxt; jämförelse; sondmatning; flaska; diande kalvar;

    Abstract : Transfer of passive immunity occurs in most animals across the placenta. In calves however, the maternal blood supply is separated from the calf. As a result, no in utero transmission of immunoglobulins occurs and the calves depends solely on ingestion of immunoglobulins from colostrum. READ MORE

  6. 5. Effect of varietal and species diversity on nitrogen fixation and nitrogen cycling in an organic faba bean spring wheat intercropping system

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of People and Society

    Author : Nawa Raj Dhamala; [2012]
    Keywords : Advisors; Cropping system; Diversity; N2 fixation; N cycling; 15N natural abundance; Questionnaires;

    Abstract : This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of varietal and species diversity of faba bean and spring wheat on N2 fixation and N cycling in an organic system. The field experiment was carried out at SLU Alnarp to quantify biological N2 fixation using 15N natural abundance method. READ MORE
