Download or read book Humic Products written by Kim Billingham and published by NSW Agriculture. This book was released on 2015-05-25 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A range of products, often referred to as alternative fertilisers, are marketed with numerous claims relating to soil health and improved plant growth. However, there is often an absence of evidence about the veracity of the claims and the effectiveness of these products. Producers and consumers alike are left to rely on the advertised promises which come with little proof. One common group of alternative fertilisers are the humic products that are often sold as soil amendments with or without accompanying plant nutrients. More than 200 humic products are currently manufactured and sold in Australia. Thousands more are available for purchase via overseas websites. Is there a place for humic products in Australian agriculture? Do they have the potential to realise at least some of the advertised claims or are these benefits merely presumption on the part of manufacturers? This technical bulletin ‘Humic products – Potential or presumption for agriculture’ is the first in a series that will cover a range of alternative fertiliser products. Written and produced by NSW Department of Primary Industries, these reports ask two basic questions: Can the product work? Given our current understanding of the physical, chemical and biological mechanisms that interact in soil-plant ecosystems, can we explain how the product functions? Does the product work? Is there sufficient evidence from independent trials that the product will work under field conditions? This publication is written primarily for agronomists, soil scientists, consultants and other farm advisors. However, the readable style, explanations and diagrams provided by the author, Kim Billingham, make it accessible for others with a more rudimentary understanding of the soil and plant sciences. ‘A brief history of humus’ will engage readers from both conventional and more alternative philosophies as we all work towards farming in a more sustainable manner.

Download or read book Humic Substances written by Elham A. Ghabbour and published by Royal Society of Chemistry. This book was released on 2001 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The biomaterials of humic substances are found in animals, coals, plants, sediments, soils, and waters. The abilities of these remarkable materials to buffer pH, retain water, be photoactive, be redox catalysts, sorb solutes, and bind metals are being more clearly understood by chemists, agronomists, and others. Ghabbour and Davies (both of Northeastern U., Boston) present 31 contributions from the latest humic substances seminar held in March of 2001. The papers cover a range of topics, including a look at the history of the study of the substances, discussions of the principles behind the study, the use of various kinds of methods to collect information, models and theories of humic structures, the process of imaging humic structures, commercial applications derived from coals, and agricultural applications for antimutagenesis. c.

Download or read book Humic Substances written by Abdelhadi Makan and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2021-10-06 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Present in soil and water, humic substances are the most widespread organic compounds, naturally occurring from a physical, chemical, and microbiological transformation of biomolecules. They represent about 25% of the total organic carbon on the Earth and comprise up to 75% of the dissolved organic carbon in water, making them important for multiple environmental processes in both soil and aquatic systems. Despite many decades of extensive study, the formation mechanisms of humic substances are still a subject of discussion and controversy. This book examines the dynamics of humic substances, their physicochemical and biological properties, and methods for their extraction and characterization. The book also sheds light on recent advances and applications of humic substances in agriculture, environment, industry, and medicine.

Download or read book Use of Humic Substances to Remediate Polluted Environments From Theory to Practice written by Irina V. Perminova and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-04-07 with total page 517 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effective remediation of polluted environments is a priority in both Eastern and Western countries. In the U.S. and Europe, remediation costs generally exceed the net economic value of the land. As a result, scientists and engineers on both sides of the Atlantic have aggressively tried to develop novel technologies to meet regulatory standards at a fraction of the costs. In situ remediation shows considerable promise from both technical and economic perspectives. In situ technologies that deploy natural attenuating agents such as humic substances (HS) may be even more cost effective. Numerous studies have shown humics capable of altering both the chemical and the physical speciation of the ecotoxicants and in turn attenuate potential adverse environmental repercussions. Furthermore, the reserves of inexpensive humic materials are immense. Which suggests HS portend great promise as inexpensive amendments to mitigate the environmental impacts of ecotoxicants and as active agents in remediation. To elucidate emerging concepts of humics-based remediation technologies, we organized the NATO Advanced Research Workshop (ARW), entitled "Use of humates to remediate polluted environments: from theory to practice", held on September 23-29, 2002 in Zvenigorod, Russia (see the web-site http://www.mgumus.chem.msu.ru/arw).
Download or read book Aquatic Humic Substances written by Dag Hessen and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humic substances occur in all kinds of aquatic systems, but are particularly important in northern, coniferous areas. They strongly modify the aquatic ecosystems and also constitute a major problem in the drinking water supply. This volume covers all aspects of aquatic humic substances, from their origin and chemical properties, their effects on light and nutrient regimes and biogeochemical cycling, to their role regarding organisms, productivity and food web organization from bacteria to fish. Special emphasis is paid to carbon cycling and food web organization in humic lakes, but aspects of marine carbon cycling related to humus are treated as well.

Download or read book Humic Substances and Natural Organic Matter written by Laurence Bates and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humic acids (HA) make up an important component of soil humus related to the maintenance of soil water-holding capacity, stabilization of soil structure and fertility and vital activity of soil micro-organisms, plants and animals. Additionally, obtaining humic substances (HS) from vermicompost has shown to be a promising alternative for large scale use in agriculture. Humic substances (HS) are also major components of natural organic matter (NOM) in soil and water as well as in geological organic deposits. This book includes chapters on vermicompost-derived liquid humus in low-input and small-scale farming; the production of liquid organic fertilizers enriched with humic substances from olive mill wastes; mechanisms of protective action of the HUMI preparation on wheat plant response to toxic ions; the application of surface-enhanced Raman scattering and fluorescence spectroscopy on silver plasmonic nanoparticles as innovative techniques to study humic substances; the complexation of metal ions with humus substances in soils and water and the final chapter examines the natural organic matter in drinking water.
