Due to the finite stocks of phosphate rock and low phosphorus (P) use efficiency (PUE) of traditional mineral P fertilizers, more sustainable alternatives are desirable. One possibility is to culture microalgae in wastewater ...

This paper assesses the potential use of a hyperspectral camera for measurement of yellow rust and fusarium head blight in wheat and barley canopy under laboratory conditions. Scanning of crop canopy in trays occurred ...

In this study, conventional and novel gas sparging regimes have been evaluated for a municipal wastewater granular anaerobic MBR to identify how best to achieve high sustainable fluxes whilst simultaneously conserving ...

While current food science research mainly focuses on microbial changes in food products that lead to foodborne illnesses, meat spoilage remains as an unsolved problem for the meat industry. This can result in important ...

Potato tubers are stored for up to ten months. Therefore, controlling the conditions (temperature and relative humidity) in the storage environment is essential to reduce the risk of appearance of potato diseases. ...

Rivers and their surrounding land provide resources and services that result in trade-offs requiring legislative and institutional interventions, for which the perspectives of law-policymakers and their societal values and ...

Soaring food demand, population pressure, land degradation, small size of agricultural land holdings, and diversified soil types in India require advanced digital soil mapping (DSM) for sustainable land management. This ...

Working with communities, including local and Indigenous communities, is fundamental to most successful conservation practice. Key elements include determining the appropriate level of engagement, identifying the key ...

Increasing demands for water, driven by population growth and socio‐economic development, environmental regulations and future climate uncertainty, are highlighting limitations on water supplies. This water‐energy‐food‐environment ...

The iDirac is a new instrument to measure selected hydrocarbons in the remote atmosphere. A robust design is central to its specifications, with portability, power efficiency, low gas consumption and autonomy as the other ...
