Potassium is the third major plant and crop nutrient after nitrogen and phosphorus. It has been used since antiquity as a soil fertilizer (about 90% of current use). [10] Fertilizer use is the main driver behind potash consumption, especially for its use in fertilizing crops that contribute to high-protein diets.
Its primary use is as feed for high-producing dairy cows, because of its high protein content and highly digestible fiber, and secondarily for beef cattle, horses, sheep, and goats. [25] [26] Alfalfa hay is a widely used protein and fiber source for meat rabbits.
Pellets with an index (i) less than 1 are classified as acidic. Pellets with an index (i) greater than 1 are categorized as basic. Pellets with an index (i) equal to 1 are referred to as self-melting. Pellets can contain high levels of hematite, but the proportion must be controlled. Excessive hematite can weaken the pellet structure during ...
Torrefied straw in the form of pellets can be directly co-fired with coal or natural gas at very high rates and make use of the processing infrastructures at existing coal and gas plants. Because the torrefied straw pellets have superior structural, chemical and combustion properties to coal, they can replace all coal and turn a coal plant into ...
Biological soil crust in Natural Bridges National Monument near Sipapu Bridge. Biological soil crusts cover about 12% of the earth's landmass. [7] They are found on almost all soil types, but are more commonly found in arid regions of the world where plant cover is low and plants are more widely spaced.
concentrates: High in energy, contains mainly cereal grains and their byproducts, or is prepared from high-protein oil meals or cakes, and byproducts resulting from sugar beets and sugarcane processing. [citation needed] roughages: grass pastures, or plant parts like hay, silage, root crops, straw, and stover. Diets given to different species ...
Black soldier fly larvae. Currently, AgriProtein breeds black soldier fly larvae on food waste from a variety of sources including restaurants and supermarkets. After they pupate, the larvae are processed into MagMeal - a sustainable, high quality protein that can be fed to all monogastric animals such as chickens, pigs, fish [4] [5] [6] and pets. [7]
Hypersensitive response (HR) is a mechanism used by plants to prevent the spread of infection by microbial pathogens.HR is characterized by the rapid death of cells in the local region surrounding an infection and it serves to restrict the growth and spread of pathogens to other parts of the plant.
