These findings suggest that plastic mulched plots provide a better soil environment for cocoyam than unmulched plots and that tilled mulched plots especially tilled black plastic mulched plots provide superior edaphic environment for cocoyam when compared to other treatments used.
At a same comparable category, i.e. slope position, geology, soil group, elevation, slope gradient, straight slopeforms are an indicator for better soil fertility compared to convex and concave forms.
This study provides new solutions and knowledge for a better integration of soil threats and opportunities in land management policies.
The strategists at the Gates Foundation calculated that $40 for better soil will generate well over $40 in additional income for the farmers; it will also allow farm families to grow more food for themselves and thereby alleviate malnutrition.
Field studies on soil properties and processes in southern Saskatchewan have clearly indicated the need to account for both lateral and vertical transfers of components in the landscape for a better understanding of soil dynamics at a given point.
However, the assumption of the constant porosity of soil has some limitations due to ignoring the nonlinear development of soil structure during consolidation and the further works about the variation modes of porosity need to be done for a better understanding of soil consolidation.
Intercropping systems and crop rotations offer opportunities for a better management of soil fungi.
The objective is to separately analyse effects of the individual flow domains and to identify possible limiting factors (bottlenecks) in the flow system for better soil drainage management.
Covering an area of almost twice the size of Germany (70,000,000 hectares), the Peruvian Amazon is losing an average of 120,000 hectares of rainforest every year, of which 70% is caused by small migratory farmers (National Forest and Wildlife Service) who are constantly seeking for better soil and new arable land to cultivate cocoa, rice, banana, corn, yucca, and others.
Given the semi-arid nature of the region which makes it marginal for agricultural production, people who settled in Butana practised small-scale cultivation in areas along valleys and seasonal water sources for the comparatively better soil and moisture conditions.
