Shrimp farming is all about maintaining optimal water quality to achieve high productivity and survival rates. Important factors to look out for include dissolved oxygen, pH, ammonia, nitrite, alkalinity, and temperature. Proper aeration, water exchange, and filtration can help control the quality of water. Excess nutrients and metabolic wastes can accumulate as well as disease […]

Controlled environment agriculture is an agricultural system where plants are grown within structures such as greenhouses or vertical farms, which can control environmental conditions like light, humidity, and temperature. It allows crops to be produced yearly with less water and fertilizers. We live in a world today where we can’t do without sustainable farming methods.

Produced water treatment involves a multi-step process that typically includes the initial separation of oil and suspended solids, followed by advanced treatment techniques tailored to the specific composition of the water. Common treatment methods include physical processes like filtration and adsorption, chemical treatments such as oxidation and precipitation, and biological processes harnessing the metabolic capabilities

Iron deficiency causes the yellowing of new leaves while veins stay green. To fix this, you can try methods such as applying chelated iron or iron sulfate around the plant base. Ensure soil pH is 6.0-6.5 for optimal iron uptake. Mulch and avoid over-watering. Early detection prevents stunted growth and reduced yields. As a gardener

When drilling and production operations are going on, produced water is the one that is obtained from underground formations with oil and natural gas. It comes from porous rock reservoirs with hydrocarbon resources. Consequently, more of this “formation water” will be produced as time goes by when wells deplete oil and gas. Produced water is

From yellowing leaves and stunted growth to nutrient deficiencies, root damage, wilting, leaf tip burn, and the telltale sign of alkaline soil conditions, these are the seven unmistakable signs that high pH levels are adversely affecting plant health and nutrient uptake, making it crucial to monitor and adjust soil pH for optimal plant growth. Are

To identify nutrient burn (nitrogen toxicity) on a cannabis plant, look for leaves with yellow or brown tips, leaves that curl up, dark green coloration as well as reddish-purple stems. To cure this condition, flush the growth medium (soil or water – hydroponics), trim away rotten foliage, balance nutrition levels, apply plant tonics, and normalize

Identifying magnesium deficiency requires observing particular visual symptoms with the naked eye. In older leaves, the tissue between veins loses its green color and turns yellow while the veins themselves retain a green color, which is known as interveinal chlorosis. In severe cases, entire leaves may turn reddish-purple or develop necrotic spots. Stunted plant growth

Chlorine in drinking water is a topic that often stirs up heated discussions. Chlorine is commonly used as a disinfectant in public water supplies to kill harmful bacteria and other microbes. This safeguards our health from waterborne diseases. However, the downside is that chlorine in drinking water can also have potential health risks if the

Electrical conductivity (EC) and pH are two fundamental properties that are closely related. The relationship between the two is complex, yet typically, as pH increases, the conductivity increases in a solution. This is because an increase in pH leads to an increase in the ion concentration, thus increasing the electrical conductivity.  Electrical conductivity (EC) and
