World Bank offers advice on reducing agricultural pollution in Vietnam
The World Bank has advised Vietnam to take action to address pollution in agriculture, warning that the problem could undermine the country’s success
This approach not only binds CO2, but also improves the soil
Biochar technology makes it possible to capture CO2 from the atmosphere and store carbon in the soil. It also offers benefits to the agricultural sector
Climate change: shrimp farming invades the Mekong in southern Vietnam
The rise in sea level is affecting rice fields, forcing farmers to switch from rice to shrimp!
Electrical conductivity of water, part 2
Electrical conductivity is frequently measured in aquaculture systems and taken as an indicator of the degree of mineralization (total ion concentration)
Electrical conductivity of water, part 1
The electrical conductivity of water provides an assessment of the total concentration of dissolved ions in water, and is an important property of water
Managing water temperature in winter
The high altitude in parts of Southern Africa can play havoc with temperature control on the sub-continent’s tilapia farms
The impact of atmospheric carbon dioxide, alkalinity in freshwater aquaculture
Professor Boyd: Little effect expected on aquaculture systems, but greater concern with global warming and climate change. alkalinity in freshwater aquaculture
Controlling diseases in aquaculture systems
Producers can use a variety of methods to limit diseases in their commercial aquaculture systems. Controlling diseases in aquaculture systems
US: Novel recycling system turns chicken manure into feed
Leftover food and table scraps generated across the US university's campus will no longer be sent to a local landfill.
Salt water aquaculture
Salinity – at the coast or inland – is rarely a barrier to successful tilapia farming. Salt water aquaculture
Timing key in keeping organic matter in wet soils
Findings contradict widely held view that soils with high water content accumulate organic matter better than dry soils.
Why you don’t need an intricate filtration system
Filtration systems with sophisticated designs rarely work efficiently. Instead, growers should focus on higher volumes.
