Ph 11.3 Enhances The Solubility Of Potassium Silicate For Liquid Fertilizer, Brendan Fatzinger, Bruce Bugbee
Ph 11.3 Enhances The Solubility Of Potassium Silicate For Liquid Fertilizer, Brendan Fatzinger, Bruce Bugbee
Nutrients
Consistent delivery of up to 1 mM silicon (Si) to the root-zone is beneficial for plant health, but the maximum solubility of silicon is only 1.7 mM between pH 4 and 8. This makes Si difficult to concentrate and add through a proportioner in liquid fertilizer systems. The solubility of Si begins to increase with increasing pH above 9. We added potassium silicate (K2SiO3) and fumed silica (SiO2) to RO water that was pH adjusted to pH 5, 8, 9, 10, or 11 with either KOH or NaOH. Samples were filtered and dried to …

Springtime in Maine can mean turning on the heat in the morning and the air conditioner in the afternoon. Spring also is when people flock to vegetable gardens, patios, flower beds and orchards.
Gardening, which has been particularly popular during the pandemic, has a number of benefits — from reducing stress to increasing property values. In this semester’s final episode of “The Maine Question,” Charlene Gray, University of Maine lecturer in landscape in design, and Kate Garland, University of Maine Cooperative Extension horticulture professional, talk with host Ron Lisnet about all things gardening, including promoting bee populations.

A Review Of The Economics Of Regenerative Agriculture In Western Australia, Anne Bennett
All other publications
- There is no published work detailing the economics of regenerative agriculture in Western Australia.
- Of the work completed in other jurisdictions and nations captured in this review, the profitability of regenerative agriculture compared with conventional agriculture was variable, although generally lower.
- The loss of income associated with the transition from conventional agriculture to regenerative agriculture is a significant barrier to adoption, although it is enterprise-sensitive.
- Farmers who are operating regenerative agriculture systems self-report higher levels of wellbeing.
- Conventional agriculture and regenerative agriculture are overlapping approaches.
- The literature presented in this review is mostly based on small samples, case studies or …
