Turning wastewater nutrients into fertilizer

The NPHarvest method's tests at a wastewater treatment plant and a landfill met with success. Ilaria Righetto from the Master's Programme in Water and Environmental Engineering participated in the project through her master's thesis work. Wastewater contains large amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus, which are valuable nutrients. NPHarvest is a process developed by Aalto Unive...

More precise nitrogen recommendations for corn to help farmers, cut pollution

This Pennsylvania crop field, planted with a cover crop mixture of annual ryegrass and crimson clover, was the site of an experiment testing the new nitrogen fertilizer recommendation system. Researchers in Penn State's College of Agricultural Sciences have developed an important component of a new system that corn growers can use to adjust nitrogen fertilizer applications based on s...

What Does Phosphorus Do for Plants?

A bag of blue fertilizer spilling over.One of three major ingredients included in general fertilizers, phosphorus is essential for seed formation and important for flowering and root growth. General fertilizers contain the chemicals nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, which are also called NPK. Fertilizer labels list these chemicals as three numbers, such as 10-15-10. The middle number shows the p...

Plant Physiology: Its role and explanation

What is Plant PhysiologyPlant physiology describes the physiology and functioning of the plants. It is a sub-discipline of botany. It primarily describes the key processes such as the respiration, photosynthesis, hormone functions, nutrition, nastic movements, tropisms, parthenogenesis, phototropism and circadian rhythms. It also deals with the topics including seed germination, environmental stre...

8 Crop Micronutrients Growers Can

Takeaway: Understanding the small role each micronutrient plays in the garden will help prevent gardeners from overlooking their importance.On their quest for huge fruits and flowers, new growers often overlook all of the micronutrients their plants require in favor of providing them with sufficient amounts of the macronutrients—nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (N-P-K)—they ne...

Strengthening Plant Roots with Phosphorus and Potassium

No matter what crop or plant you’re growing, healthy and strong roots are the foundation for maximum yields. Chris Bond breaks down how phosphorus and potassium each boost root power and growth.Up, down, and all around; that’s how many horticulturists learn the rudiments of the big three macronutrients: nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) and their respective functions.&n...

What are Biostimulants?

Even if you have not heard the term “biostimulant’” you have most likely seen advertisements for products that would fall into this category. They come with tag lines such as “Biological Plant Activator,” “Plant Health Stimulator,” and “Probiotic for Plants.” They may promise enhanced water uptake and nutrient utilization, increased tolerance to abiotic stress, and increased plan...

Biostimulants and abiotic stresses in plants

Abiotic stress is defined as environmental conditions that reduce growth and yield below optimum levels . Abiotic stress such as cold, drought, and salt largely influences plant development and crop productivity. Abiotic stress has been becoming a major threat to food security due to the constant changes in climate and deterioration of the environment caused by human activity. To cope with abiotic...
