The regional relationship between racehorse stables and horticulture farming in the eastern Tokyo metropolitan area. The role of horse manure from a racehorse training center
This paper describes the development of racehorse stables and the manure circulation in the eastern suburbs of Tokyo. The AA. make clear the sustainable factors by analyzing the spatial relationship between horse manure suppliers and users
Kif in the Rif : a historical and ecological perspective on marijuana, markets, and manure in northern Morocco
Since the 1960s, marijuana has become the leading export crop of this region and is grown on the best soils. The many goats are kept mainly for their manure to fertilize the kif fields. But all those goats destroy vegetation which has exacerbated

L'ouvrage est une compilation des conférences présentées au colloque sur le Manú. Il s'agit de comprendre et de confronter les expériences sur des aires protégées tout en intégrant les aspects sociaux et culturels liés à ces recherches. L'analyse
The aim of this paper is to study the development in Cu and Zn concentrations in agricultural soils that primarily received pig manure. It is suggested that temporal icreases of Cu and Zn concentrations in the soils can be explained by corresponding
to confirm the results. The importance of preferential flow with regard to movement of manures and chemicals towards groundwater, which will depend on the timing of the application of those substances and the occurrence of significant rainfall events
the slope and reduce soil losses by water erosion significantly. The use of high amounts of farmyard manure on the terraces of SLM 1 and SLM 2 category fields resulted in a 3 to 4 times higher yield of maize compared to the control plots (SLM 5), while yield
of beans increased 6 to 7 times compared to the control plots. Despite the use of farmyard manure on better managed fields, no significant improvements of soil fertility were found. This is probably because the amounts applied are too small to allow build
The fertilizer experimental site used in this study was established on a maize field in Shenyang Agriculture University in 1987. The treatments included, CK : unfertlized control, M : organic manure, N : inorganic N fertilizer and MN : combination
of organic manure and inorganic N fertilizer. TOC concentration and C storage were significantly increased under the M and MN treatments, but not under the inorganic N treatment. The M treatment was most effective for sequestrating SOC and showed similar
In south-west Greenland, at the cathedral site of Garðar, the modern sheep farm of Igaliku, artefact scatters and geoarchaeological evidence show that infields were improved by manuring, and systems of ditches have been interpreted as evidence
for controlled irrigation in an area liable to a potential water deficit. Further palaeoecological evidence, largely from insect remains, is presented which indicates the build up of thick plaggen soils as a result of large-scale manuring with animal, domestic
On an experimental site in Hsinchu county, Northern Taiwan, a terraced rice field was used to investigate the soil erosion under the regular cultivation of rice in 2005, fallow in 2006, and planting with green manure in 2007. The results show
that infiltration rates significantly increase when a terraced paddy field is under fallow or is planted with green manure; the paddy is more vulnerable to embankment collapse and increased the rates of soil erosion. The comparison revealed that soil conservation
Part II of this volume I with 4 chapters : compaction and surface sealing; the use of agrochemicals, manure and organic wastes; effects of polluted air and water; effects of mining industries and disposal sites.
Slovene Approach was used for making intrinsic vulnerability maps of groundwater at the Orehek karst, and contamination risk maps for the Korentan karst spring. The maps are based on cartographic and other data, and field work. The manure heaps
Department and three in Cochabamba Department. The focus is on inexpensive vegetative practices, live contour barriers and leguminous cover crops for green manure. Phalaris grass has been the best live barrier and tarwi has been the legume best suited
Applications of manure and inorganic fertilizer together (integrated nutrient management) may allow sustained higher crop yields and greater economic benefits than does either applied alone. This concept is being tested in three of the major crop
