In the second of his four-part series, Edward Burgess of Teagasc explains how different soils can leach more nitrogen to ...

CEC can also influence when and how often nitrogen and potassium fertilizers can be applied. On low-CEC soils (less than 5 meg/20000g), for example, some leaching of cations can occur. Fall ...

Nitrogen is often the most limiting nutrient in growing plants. When deficient, plant yields and quality are reduced. However ...

Researchers from Teagasc investigated the effect of including ribwort plantain with grass-clover for reducing nitrate leaching across a range of Irish soil types. The two-year, five-soil study ...

Soil disturbance also leads to increased erosion and nutrient leaching from soils, which have led to eutrophication and resultant algal blooms within inland aquatic and coastal ecosystems ...

University of Minnesota Extension Soil organic matter is directly related to soil fertility and agricultural productivity potential. There are many advantages to increasing ...

A grey or light-coloured 'E' horizon is the result of severe leaching, or eluviation, which washes out everything but quartz grains. Eluviation is the removal of soil, clay, silt or fine organic ...

A successful spring garden begins well before the first blooms of the season. Winter, often regarded as the dormant period for plants, offers the perfect opportunity to prepare garden beds ...
