Characterization of agroforestry feedstocks and their biochars and their effects on soil greenhouse gas emissions in a floodplain soil
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
The temperature at which biochar (biocharcoal) is produced is a major factor that determines its chemical and structural characteristics. The objectives of this research were to assess the effects of feedstock source among ...
Impacts of soil management practices on soil fertility in potato-based cropping systems in the Bolivian Andean highlands
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Due to changes in climate and socioeconomic developments, current soil management practices in the Bolivian Andean Highlands may be increasing soil degradation thereby threatening food security. A study was established in four representative...
Optimizing crop N use efficiency using polymer-coated urea and other N fertilizer sources across landscapes with claypan soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Development of improved management practices to increase nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) within agricultural fields is needed to improve crop production and reduce nitrogen (N) loss. Field studies planted to maize were conducted in 2005 and 2006...
