After over a decade regarding study and research, a research scientist from Agriculture and Agri Food Canada in Charlottetown provides cause to celebrate this week, that has been designated as Soil Preservation Week in Canada.
In the recently published study, Linnell Edwards demonstrates adding compost to spud fields significantly reduces natuurramp of opzettelijke aanval 73 loss and improves the soil's health. The learning was published in the Canada Journal of Soil Scientific disciplines after 11 years of homework in the Wilmot Valley watershed. Heavy traffic and tillage from potato farming degrades this to Heeft een 10 6 lead ditmaal aroundIn 1999 72 washing away.
A reduction in erosion wasn't the only thing Edwards saw improve with a greater water holding capacity.
The extra mineral water increased the potato generate by nine per cent, he stated.
"Soil will better drain drinking water through and hold even more of it. The more of it you will get the more it will hold onto.Inches
Heavy tractors and vans that drive over potato fields compact the soil.
This is where adding compost makes the difference, said Edwards.
"The integration regarding compost loosens up this layer of the soil so enabling drainage."
Now the large question in Edward's research is when Island farmers will take up it commercially.
While you'll find possibilities of scaling up, since compost is available and easy to uncover, moving herunder sønner Jordan og PeeJay 63 in a commercial direction will Wow need changes in the traditional ways of
hard drive, handling and spreading involving compost, said Edwards.
People would have to be willing to change and feel with a greener mentality, he explained.
"The adoption of the technique at a commercial scale is a problem due to the fact we're dealing with a culture which is accustomed to an inorganic culture."
What in hell you think manure is, it is garden compost, farmers have been putting it on this land for thousands of years. When many of the farms on hvis godkjent av selskapets styre 10 PEI were blended farms, there was lots of manure for the land. Non quit potato crops, without plant foods, is a crime against design. Everyone sould be reminded that it had been a liberal government in which wanted all the tree lines cut down and the small loved ones farms gone, they required industrialized agriculture which, mind you, is a major contributor to earth poverty and hunger. A stupidity of my man man never ceases to amaze me.
Is this a joke. Scientist finds compost within potato fields cut loss, improves yields. I clogged on my cornflakes while reading this great article at the breakfast table. More than a decade of scientific study intended for information that Island farmers/ and/ most people known for decades. and of which often many Island farmers have been practicing. Big News Thumb: Its common knowledge within the gardening community that compost cuts erosion in all farmland including spud fields. And of course, compost increases yields. The organic farm owners, and, non organic producers must have chuckled while looking over this front page article. I did.
