Testing Various Doses of Liquid Organic Fertilizer (LOF) on te Growth of Scallion (Allium fistulosum L.) by Novianto Novianto, Wartono Wartono

“…For this reason, one of the efforts that can be made to increase the production of scallions in meeting the consumption needs of the community is by means of technical cultivation through the application of liquid organic fertiliser (LOF). The purpose of this study was to analyse the need for the right dose of LOF for scallions. …”

Modelling and predicting the spatial dispersion of skin cancer considering environmental and socio-economic factors using a digital earth approach by Zohreh Masoumi, John L. van Genderen, Mohammad Sadi Mesgari

“…In this paper, skin cancer (the most common type of cancer) has been modelled based on its causative factors, including climate factors, people's occupations, nutrition habits, socio-economic factors, and usage of chemical fertiliser. To fit the model, a data framework was first designed, and then data were gathered and processed. …”

Environmental Benchmarking of Suppliers in the UK Food Sector by Cifuentes, Marta Salvà, Jones, Simon

“…Some of the key areas in which the suppliers represented best practice include the separation and recycling of their waste streams and efforts to reduce the use of raw materials, energy, water, pesticides, herbicides and fertilisers. Some suppliers were actively engaging with stakeholders in their value chain to collaborate on products and processes that reduced environmental impacts. …”

Forward osmosis for sustainable water treatment by Shen, L, Hankins, N

“…Some niche applications of stand-alone FO have been identified in food and fertiliser industries, but the majority of practical applications involve FO as a pretreatment process to reduce the energy cost and membrane fouling during subsequent stages of water processing. …”

Agroecological break out: legumes, crop diversification and the regenerative futures of UK agriculture by Garnett, T, Cusworth, G, Lorimer, J

“…During the 20th century, UK arable management became predicated on minimally diverse crop rotations, dependent on artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Legumes were locked out of food and farming. …”

Transition from the late Roman period to the early Anglo-Saxon period in the upper Thames Valley based on stable isotopes by Sakai, Y

“…These changes were argued to have been caused by differences in the intensity of fertilising crop fields, the amount of animal protein fed to adult pigs, the amount of non-local food in human diet, and the significance and purpose of livestock rearing and the preference of dairy products. …”

Mechanisms of action of EGFR tyrosine kinase receptor incorporated in extracellular vesicles by Zanetti-Domingues, LC, Martin-Fernandez, ML, Huber, V

“…By highlighting key findings and areas that remain obscure at the intersection of EGFR signalling and EV action, we hope to cross-fertilise the two fields and speed up the application of novel techniques and paradigms to both.…”

Reaction: “Green” Ammonia Production by Ye, L, Nayak-Luke, R, Bañares-Alcántara, R, Tsang, SCE

“…The current production of ~180Mt/year is predicted to increase to ~270Mt/year by 2050 [1]; understandable given that over 80% of all ammonia produced is used for fertilisers. These predictions, combined with the requirement of net-zero carbon dioxide emissions for the 2°C scenario mean that there is an environmental imperative to decarbonise industrial ammonia production methods. …”

Understanding energy efficiency using a socioeconomic framework: the case of paddy farming in Malaysia by Siti ‘Aisyah Baharudin

“…Nevertheless, several factors affecting energy use in paddy production include fuel for running machinery, electricity for irrigation, fertiliser for improving soil fertility, pesticides for pest control, and planting seeds. …”
