Fertilizers by Fernando López-Valdez,Fabián Fernández-Luqueño Pdf

This book describes many important principles of fertilizer management and the environmental pollution problems due to the indiscriminate soil fertilization rate. The long-term impacts of organic or mineral fertilizer use have implications on soil fertility, crop yields, water quality, climatic change, greenhouse gas emissions, etc. Twelve chapters provide the state of the art of some important topics on subsistence agriculture, modern agronomy, and technological improvements which have sharply increased yields from cultivation, with a special emphasis on the sustainable management and environmental impact of commercial and nontraditional fertilizers. Without a doubt, this book is a valuable contribution to the agricultural sciences and it would not have been possible without the invaluable contributions, immeasurable acknowledgements, and recognized expertise from the authors.

Despite The Considerable Progress Made In Enhancing The Capacity Of Soils To Produce Crops Through The Use Of Manures And Fertilizers, There Are Yet A Large Number Of Ignorant Peasants In Many Asian Countries, Including India, Who Have Been Growing Crops Without Applying Adequate Amounts Of Manures And Fertilizers To Their Crop Fields And Consequently Obtaining Considerably Less Yields. It Needs To Be Realized By One And All That Soil, Particularly In The Developing Countries, Has To Be Fertile Enough If Their Ever-Increasing Huge Population Is To Be Adequately Fed And Clothed. Accordingly, Knowledge Of Farmyard Manure, Compost, Fertilizers And Other Agricultural By-Products And Their Applications Is Indispensable.The Present Book Is A Sincere Effort In Disseminating Information On Manures And Fertilizers. Primarily Designed As A Textbook, Its Wide Coverage Includes Varied Manures And Their Preparation And Effects; And Production And Consumption Of Various Fertilizers Along With The Detailed Elucidation Of Their Properties, Uses, Advantages And Disadvantages. Application Of Both Manures And Fertilizers Separately And In Combination Has Been Explained In Depth In Reference To Individual Crops Of Extensive Variety. It Analyses The Applied Aspects Of Fertilizers And Manures In Their Entirety And Suggests How To Adjust Them To Particular Soil And Particular Style Of Farming. The Book Is Well Supplemented With References And Indexes Which Will Prove Useful Study-Aids To Readers. Owing To Its Reader-Friendly Approach To The Subject, Simple Language And Lucid Style, The Book Is Accessible Even To Average Readers. While It Ideally Caters To The Academic Needs Of Undergraduate And Postgraduate Students Of Agriculture Science, It Is A Lasting Valuable Reference Source For Researchers And Teachers, Peasants, Geologists And Soil Surveyors.

Fertilizers and Environment by Claudio Rodriguez Barrueco Pdf

Food production remains the highest agricultural priority, subject to the constraint that it be done in harmony with nature, or at least with minimum environmental pollution. The amount of fertilizer applied can be controlled using modern application techniques, including soil and crop management, guaranteeing higher economic profit and lower environmental cost. It is in such a context that the present book addresses the efficient and rational use of mineral and organic fertilizers while preserving environmental quality. The book discusses the impact on surface and groundwaters, soils and crops, and experience of nitrate leaching, denitrification, ammonia volatilization, heavy metal pollution, agricultural and urban waste management, and international and national legislation. Audience: Agronomists, environmentalists, soil and food chemists, ecologists, policy makers, and managers in the fertilizer industry concerned with the trend of public opinion.

Background Report on Fertilizer Use, Contaminants and Regulators by Marcie Francis Pdf

Provides information on fertilizer use, consumption patterns, composition & regulations. This information is for fertilizers from natural mineral sources & those that are derived from industrial byproducts. The data for heavy metals in fertilizers are used to provide estimates of the rates at which these metals may be added to agricultural soils from standard agronomic practices. The additions of heavy metals to agricultural soil are discussed in terms of federal & international regulations. This report focuses on inorganic fertilizers & their application to agricultural lands. Also gives information on biosolids (sewage sludge) & its regulations, & on the use of recycled industrial byproducts as fertilizers. Tables.

Fertilizer Manual by Travis P. Hignett Pdf

This Fertilizer Manual was prepared by the International Fertilizer Development Center (IFDC) as a joint project with the United Nations Industrial Development Organi zation (UNIDO). It is designed to replace the UN Fertilizer Manual published in 1967 and intended to be a reference source on fertilizer production technology and economics and fertilizer industry planning for developing countries. The aim of the new manual is to describe in clear, simple language all major fertilizer processes, their requirements, advan tages and disadvantages and to show illustrative examples of economic evaluations. The manual is organized in five parts. Part I deals with the history of fertilizers, world outlook, the role of fertilizers in agriculture, and raw materials and includes a glossary of fertilizer-related terms. Part II covers the production and transportation of ammonia and all important nitrogen fertilizers-liquids and solids. Part III deals with the characteristics of phosphate rock, production of sulfuric and phosphoric acid, and all important phosphate fertilizers, including nitrophosphates and ammonium phosphates. Part IV deals with potash fertilizers-ore mining and refining and chemical manufac ture; compound fertilizers; secondary and micronutrients; controlled-release fertilizers; and physical properties of fertilizers. Part V includes chapters on planning a fertilizer industry, pollution control, the economics of production of major fertilizer products anJ intermediates, and problems facing the world fertilizer industry.
