Therefore, pure KCl is 39.09/(39.09 + 35.45) = 52% potassium and 48% chlorine by weight. Its K value is therefore 52/0.83 = 63; that is, a fertilizer that gets all its potassium from K 2 O and has the same potassium contents as pure KCl would have to be 63% K 2 O. Pure KCl fertilizer would thus be labeled 0-0-63.
In agriculture, the yield is a measurement of the amount of a crop grown, or product such as wool, meat or milk produced, per unit area of land. The seed ratio is another way of calculating yields. Innovations, such as the use of fertilizer, the creation of better farming tools, new methods of farming and improved crop varieties, have improved ...
The diagram below shows fertilizer consumption by the European Union (EU) countries as kilograms per hectare (pounds per acre). The total consumption of fertilizer in the EU is 15.9 million tons for 105 million hectare arable land area [51] (or 107 million hectare arable land according to another estimate [52]). This figure equates to 151 kg of ...
In 1968, De Datta, then an agronomist at the institute, published his findings about IR8, a variety of rice that yielded 5 tons of rice per hectare with almost no fertilizer and 9.4 tons per hectare with fertilizer. This was nearly 10 times the yield of traditional rice and came to be known as Miracle Rice. [citation needed]
Stocking measures account for three things: the cover type and species mixture in the stand, the basal area per acre, and the number of trees per acre. [3] Stocking allows for comparing stands that may have diverse ecology. [4] Stocking is a major part of forest management, both in commercial applications and for restoration or preservation.
A 2000 assessment of agriculture in the UK determined total external costs for 1996 of £2,343 million, or £208 per hectare. [200] A 2005 analysis of these costs in the US concluded that cropland imposes approximately $5 to $16 billion ($30 to $96 per hectare), while livestock production imposes $714 million. [201]
The second night began no better for the ACC. No. 13 Florida blew out Virginia. No. 10 Alabama boat raced No. 20 UNC. Mississippi, fresh off a 10-point loss to Butler, beat No. 18 Pittsburgh by 33 ...
Food production per capita since 1961 Grain silos Rice plantation in Thailand Cambodians planting rice, 2004. Agricultural productivity is measured as the ratio of agricultural outputs to inputs. [1] While individual products are usually measured by weight, which is known as crop yield, varying products make measuring overall agricultural ...
