Many of these BMPs include techniques that should also improve soil quality, such as the addition of organic matter to the soil surface, and improved timing and tailored application of mineral and organic fertilisers.
Gōzō Shioda's Yoshinkan Aikido, considered one of the "hard styles," largely follows Ueshiba's teachings from before World War II, and surmises that the secret to ki lies in timing and the application of the whole body's strength to a single point.
Although the precise reasons for the observed differences between locations cannot be inferred from our data, we attribute the variation to differences in the types of pesticides used on the fruits and berries, and the timing of application and opportunity for environmental degradation before contact with workers at the time of harvest.
Ideally, data are available on the land area and crops treated; the timing and method of applications; rates and number of application; the formulation applied and the total volume applied per hectare.
The persistence of hexazinone varies with soil type, environmental conditions (Rhodes 1980; Rahman 1981; Harrington et al. 1982; USDA-FS 1984a), and timing of application (Coackley and Moore 1977) with a half-life ranging from 10 180 days (Gaskin and Zabkiewicz 1986; Khan and Liang 1989; Michael and Neary 1993).
Selectivity can be achieved through control of dosage, timing, and method of application.
Each company agreed to turn over its data on chemical usage, quantities, timing and methods of application to WWF, while WWF agreed to keep the information confidential.
The kind of Zn fertilizer applied, timing, and method of application is crucial for enhancing grain Zn.
The type of manure and the timing and method of application can however be crucial factors in reducing the extent of nitrogen lost from the system.
