Organic contaminants in sewage sludge (biosolids) and their significance for agricultural recycling.

11 Oct 2009 Organic chemicals discharged in urban wastewater from industrial and domestic sources, or those entering through atmospheric deposition onto paved areas via surface run-off, are predominantly lipophilic in nature and therefore become concentrated in ... Read more...

Plant growth promotion by phosphate solubilizing bacteria.

30 Aug 2009 Most agronomic soils contain large reserves of total phosphorus [P], but the fixation and precipitation of P cause P deficiency, and in turn, restrict the growth of crops severely. Phosphorus replenishment, especially in sustainable production ... Read more...

Integrated pest management portfolios in UK arable farming: results of a farmer survey.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Farmers are faced with a wide range of pest management (PM) options that can be adopted in isolation or alongside complementary or substitute strategies. This paper presents the results of a survey of UK cereal producers, focusing on the ... Read more...
