  1. 6. Effekter av torka och vall på marklevande nematoder

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Linda Nilsson; [2022]
    Keywords : nematoder; torka; markfuktighet; vall; växtföljd;

    Abstract : Nematoder finns i stora mängder i marken och påverkar jordbruket på flera sätt. Det finns nematoder som har en positiv inverkan då de bidrar till markens näringsomsättning och mobiliserar kväve men det finns även växtätande nematoder som kan orsaka skördeförluster. READ MORE

  3. 7. Microbial Carbonisation and its potential for on-farm composting : exploring reductive composting as an approach for regenerative agriculture

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Ludwig Peter Stephan; [2022]
    Keywords : on-farm composting; reductive composting; regenerative agriculture; microbial carbonisation; mikrobielle carbonisierung; greenhouse gas emissions;

    Abstract : The search for agronomic solutions to the decline of soil health, open-ended nutrient cycles and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agriculture, against the background of impending climate change, were motivations for this thesis. A composting trial on a Swedish farm was designed to find answers to the overarching research question of how feasible and climate-friendly on-farm composting using Microbial Carbonisation (MC) is, compared to conventional windrow composting (CC).

  4. 8. Assessment of the Agroecological Potential of Biostimulatory Effects : originating from Effective Microorganisms (EM) in terms of Environmental and Socioeconomic Aspects

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Tania Schwarzer; [2022]
    Keywords : effective microorganisms; agroecology; biostimulants; beneficial microorganisms; lactic acid bacteria; bokashi; semi-structured interviews; interpretative phenomenological approach;

    Abstract : Environmental pollution, resource depletion and climate change are related to imbalances in the farming system. Effective microorganisms are seen as a possible solution to these problems. READ MORE

  5. 9. Development and testing of a novel solar dryer design with an incorporated heat exchanger - For use in the Himalayan regions

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : Adam Probert; [2022]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Food scarcity is a common occurrence for farmers in the rural Himalayan regions. As fruits and vegetables are a crucial part of most farmers' diet, food deficiency can become evident in between harvesting periods, when there is no fresh supply. READ MORE

  6. 10. The role of bed sediments for sorption of phosphorus in remediated ditches in Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Linus Holgersson; [2022]
    Keywords : Phosphorus; Two-stage ditch; Equilibrium phosphate concentration; Phosphorus retention; Eutrophication; Soluble reactive phosphorus;

    Abstract : Human activities have increased nutrient losses to agricultural ditches and streams, including phosphorus. Phosphorus leakage leads to a worsening of water quality in downstream ecosystems, including lakes and seas. In addition, higher phosphorus concentrations lead to eutrophication, which negatively affects aquatic systems. READ MORE
