Feb 10, 2022 · The traditional logic behind effective microorganism is based on a media inoculation with mixed cultures of beneficial microorganisms to create a more favorable environment for plant growth and health when the media is the soil. Following this rationale, other research works have been focused on studying the effect of effective microorganisms when they are used as manure stabilizing agents, in
Apr 1, 2022 · Especially larger soil animals such as earthworms can improve the physical properties of the soil through their crushing and digging activity. Furthermore, the cycling of nutrients at the site can be improved through the metabolism of soil animals and especially through the increased metabolic activity of soil microbes caused by animal grazing
Journal of Food Engineering, 2002. A practical and quantitative method for assessing complex food equipment cleanability is described. After soiling a positive displacement pump by a composite model food made of custard and Bacillus cereus spores isolated from a food processing line, a mild cleaning-in-place procedure was carried out using basic detergents such as sodium hydroxide and nitric acid.
Oct 5, 2019 · The combined biophysical and socio-economic results provide a clear picture of the interdisciplinary and interconnected nature of the priorities to improve soil fertility across each sub-region. Plans to improve soil fertility across SSA need to take an integrated approach, inclusive of the identified biophysical and socio-economic factors.
