    Coir Research Paper

    Coir has many uses throughout the horticulture and agriculture industries as a favourable product used to maintain optimal flora health. Coir is used as a substitute for sphagnum moss, found in peat, that is a constituent of many potting soil varieties to increase soil pH conditions; suitable for plants that thrive in more acidic conditions. In addition, coir is useful as covering brush for smaller plantations to deter snails from subsisting on maturing plants, retaining moisture, maintaining garden structure and trapping air. The biodegradability of coir makes for a favourable environmentally sustainable practice, however incomplete decomposition of coconut fibres can result in nitrogen deficiencies within the exposed plant and surrounding environments. These abnormal levels can be counteracted by adding nitrogen supplements into the coir mixture. Coir is also considered to be more environmentally sustainable through reducing ecosystem damage resulting from current practices involved in peat extraction and the greenhouse gas emissions associated with processing.…

    Canola Vs Cotton Essay

    • 1083 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Cotton is grown in rotation with other crops (generally legumes) to increase nutrient level in the soil and are sometimes left ‘fallow,’ allowing a natural build-up of nutrients to reduce the necessity for fertilization. Many cotton farmers use organic fertilizers such as chicken and feed lot manures, and some are experimenting with bio-solids, or human waste products. With the help of myBMP, in 2011, already a significant decrease was seen in cultivation and stubble burning as well as increases in the use of controlled traffic farming systems to reduce soil compaction and to retain permanent beds and soil testing for fertilization decisions along with the use of manures or composts for fertilizers in nutrition…

    Allocated sepparate boxes for storing biodegradable and non-biodegradable, which they ultimately sell to junkyards. As for the garbage from markets, a pit was dug near the municipal MRF where market wastes are combined with farm manure to turn into fertlizer. These are given away to vegetable farmers fo free. Since then, they renamed the MRF as Integrated Solid Waste Management Facility (ISWMF). In the new ISWMF, the production of hollow blocks takes place. The plastic waste is pulverized. Then, two sacks of the pulverized plastic are mixed with a bag of cement and 15 pails of sand. The mixture is then poured into a molder. This procedures about 140 to 150 hollow blocks. Aside from hollow blocks, they also mold paving brick, wall cladding, cement tiles, paving blocks, and cement balusters. However, environmentalists have raised concerns regarding the durability of the product. They said plastics aren’t perfect for holding construction materials together.…
