  2. Baker percentage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baker_percentage

    For example, in a recipe that calls for 10 pounds of flour and 5 pounds of water, the corresponding baker's percentages are 100% for the flour and 50% for the water. Because these percentages are stated with respect to the weight of flour rather than with respect to the weight of all ingredients, the sum of these percentages always exceeds 100%.

  3. Organic fertilizer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_fertilizer

    Cover crops are also grown to enrich soil as a green manure through nitrogen fixation from the atmosphere; [33] as well as phosphorus (through nutrient mobilization) [34] content of soils. Fertilizer trees aid organic farming by bringing nutrients from the depths of the soil, and by assisting in the regulation of water usage. [35]

  4. Labeling of fertilizer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labeling_of_fertilizer

    Fertilizers with additional macronutrients (S, Ca, Mg) may add more numbers to the N-P-K ratio to indicate the amount. The additional numbers are similarly reported in the oxide mass fraction form. For example, a Polish fertilizer labeled "NPK (Ca,S) 4-12-12 (14-29)" has an equivalent of 14% soluble calcium oxide and 29% total sulfur trioxide. [6]

  5. Fertilizer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fertilizer

    A fertilizer (American English) or fertiliser (British English) is any material of natural or synthetic origin that is applied to soil or to plant tissues to supply plant nutrients. Fertilizers may be distinct from liming materials or other non-nutrient soil amendments. Many sources of fertilizer exist, both natural and industrially produced. [1]

  6. Farinograph - Wikipedia

    A weaker flour, such as a cake or pastry flour with a much lower gluten content would have a much steeper decline after peak time. The points of interest on the graph are fivefold: Arrival Time (Absorption) – Absorption is the point chosen by the baking industry which represents a target water to flour ratio in bread.

  7. CULTAN Fertilization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CULTAN_Fertilization

    CULTAN fertilization, like all forms of injection fertilization, allows for a more precise application and a more uniform distribution of the fertilizer. These methods allow the spread of nitrogen regardless of the condition of the field (wet, muddy) and reduce soil compaction caused by tractors moving along the field.

  8. Soil consolidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_consolidation

    The first modern theoretical models for soil consolidation were proposed in the 1920s by Terzaghi and Fillunger, according to two substantially different approaches. [1] The former was based on diffusion equations in eulerian notation, whereas the latter considered the local Newton’s law for both liquid and solid phases, in which main variables, such as partial pressure, porosity, local ...

  9. Jeevamrutha - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeevamrutha

    Jeevamrutha is a natural liquid fertilizer. It is made by mixing water, dung (in the form of manure) and urine from cows with some mud from the same area as the manure will be applied in later. Food is then added to speed the growth of microbes: jaggery or flour can be used.
