16. Nitrogen and phosphorus analysis in field cultivation of Pak choi : effect of two different compositions of fertilisers on plant and soil nutrient status
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)Abstract : This pilot study was implemented to reflect the delivery and the plant availability of nitrogen and phosphorus in response to different compositions of fertilisers approved for organic farming in Sweden. The experimental approach was to compare the concentration of nitrogen and phosphorus in plant sap of Pak choi plants grown in soil treated with different organic waste such as aged cattle manure and a liquid retting digest derived from the biogas industry, with plants grown in soil treated with a blend of pelleted organic fertilisers derived from the Swedish slaughterhouse industry.

17. Increasing crop yields under climate change scenarios in Nigeria
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Climate change is projected to cause unprecedented levels of global change and it will alter the ways in which humans currently rely on getting essential resources such as food. Africa is considered to be the most vulnerable continent to this change, with many countries that have low economic stability and insecure food sources a change to the way resources can be accessed could be detrimental to the population.

18. Wild Seaweed Harvesting: "The Next Big Industry in Iceland”? Ways to encourage sustainable harvesting and improve the regulatory framework on seaweed
University essay from Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutetAbstract : Brown seaweed or macro-algae are multicellular plant-like organisms that inhabit various shores surrounding West-America and Northern Europe. Seaweed deliver highly important ecosystem services and provide habitats and shelter for other species, serving as a food source and take part in the nutrient recycling of Silica, Phosphorus and Nitrogen on land and in the sea.

19. Agricultural Agglomeration Infrastructure and Agricultural market integration for emergent farmers
University essay from Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionenAbstract : This thesis seeks to explain constraining effects of distance to markets on agricultural smallholder’s ability to commercialise, using Zambia as a case. Despite a growing consensus that inaccessible markets constrain the development of broad-based agricultural growth, creating socio-economic regional disparities, the exact nature by which distance and market access interact with agricultural producers remains under-examined.

20. Dissolution rates of mineral nitrogen fertilisers : effects of moisture and precipitation
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and EnvironmentAbstract : 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.
