fertilizer run-off

We felt it needed to be protected against fertilizer run-off and other problems."

The growth of commercially intensive agriculture has produced a rise in fertilizer run-off into the river.

Water pollution, usually created by fertilizer run-off, chemical spills and untreated sewage, is a big problem in China.

The natural inoculant also reduces use of synthetic fertilizers and the environmental effects from fertilizer run-off.

There is evidence that these protective measure have been effective, but reefs are also endangered from other factors such as fertilizer run-off and coastal development.

Some of the 'tankers' have sunk, further polluting the water already filled with fertilizer run-off from the fields in the Podgorica valley.

Agriculture immediately north of the park poses a threat of additional eutrophication of the marsh due to fertilizer run-off.

More real concerns, like oxygen depletion from fertilizer run-off, need to be addressed, but these are more localised and less deadly than usually depicted.

An overabundance of nutrient input from fertilizer run-off, sewage effluent, or non-point pollution will cause eutrophication.

This has been encouraged by a build-up of phosphate levels as a result of fertilizer run-off from the intensively farmed areas in the river basin.

These are well manicured, always mowed, consuming tremendous amount of water and energy inputs, and too much fertilizer run-off and pesticide contamination.

In addition to concerns about pesticide and fertilizer run-off, Mr. Bull calls golf courses a poor trade-off for forests that have taken over a century to grow.

Our researchers are developing a nitrogen test to reduce the environmental waste caused by fertilizer run-off and leaching, while allowing for better yields and lower costs for farmers.

The report, launched Monday to coincide with World Water Day, said an estimated 2 billion tons of waste water—including fertilizer run-off, sewage and industrial waste—is being discharged daily.

Research on nitrogen fixation and utilization in plants and microbes could lead to reductions in fertilizer run-off, a reduced agricultural carbon footprint, more nutritious food, and improved food supplies.

The fertilizer run-off flows down the Mississippi River into the Gulf of Mexico, making algae bloom on the surface and cutting oxygen to creatures that live on the bottom.

That new cash injection will be vital, with rivers and lakes throughout China blighted by algae blooms caused by fertilizer run-off, bubbling chemical spills and untreated sewage discharges.

At the heart of the Baltic's environmental problems are its stagnant waters, often uninhabitable for fish due to the rampant growth of algae, nourished on detergents, poorly treated sewage and fertilizer run-off from farms.

The "unchecked" use of antibiotics in Chinese farms poses risks that "may spread worldwide through manure and fertilizer run-off," according to an article in The Conversation, a journal funded by more than a dozen Australian universities.

Root Feeding Benefits: Environmentally Friendly Reduce the amount of water, fertilizer, and time No erosion, evaporation, or fertilizer run-off into water supply Perfect for plants with delicate blossoms or petals; e.g.

Chaz's insatiable greed drives him to collude with Samuel Johnson "Red" Hammernut, a crooked farm tycoon who owns large vegetable fields adjacent to the Everglades, which he relentlessly pollutes with fertilizer run-off.

Although these changes may have caused the loss of fish spawning habitat, other changes, such as eutrophication (nutrient enrichment largely due to fertilizer run-off from farmland), fish stocking, and damming of lakes, may have actually improved feeding conditions for Ospreys in some areas.

There were posts relaying concerns about nitrogen fertilizer run-off affecting the Gulf Coast and waterways, worries about antibiotics and hormones given to livestock, a question about funny-looking carrot sticks, and even one query from someone seeking the "best method to build a grain drill."
