Phytoremediation is the process that uses plants to remove pollutants from soils. These pollutants are stored in the edible parts of plants and, if they are consumed above a certain level, they become a health risk for humans and animals. This book is a critical review of phytoremediation, its direct or indirect effects on food products, and the risks posed by this cost-effective technology in food safety. It shows how different plants are suited for phytoremediation, explains the role of toxicants in the environment, and analyses their effects and risks in the food chain at a global level. It also reviews the extraction methods of toxicants from plants after they are exposed to phytoremedia...
Buku ini menyajikan hasil identiikasi jenis dan jumlah MVA yang hidup di wilayah konsesi tambang nikel PT Vale Indonesia Tbk di Sorowako (pasca tambang dan original forest) yang akan menjadi dasar produksi dan perbanyakan MVA lokal secara massal sehingga dapat membantu upaya reklamasi lahan pasca tambang utamanya dapat membantu meningkatkan daya tumbuh tanaman, perbaikan sifat kimia, isik dan biologi tanah pasca tambang nikel di area PT Vale Indonesia Tbk. Pada wilayah survei, ditemukan 4 genus endomikoriza yaitu Gigaspora, Acalauspora, Scutellospora dan Glomus pada berbagai jenis rhizosfer pohon yang tumbuh di wilayah pasca tambang, hutan alami dan nursery. roduksi MVA massal akan membantu kegiatan reklamasi tanah pasca tambang nikel di PTVI mengingat fungsi MVA untuk perbaikan sifat tanah yang marjinal terutama memperbaiki struktur tanah, meningkatkan penyerapan air dan hara, serta meningka- tkan eisiensi penggunaan pupuk, dan memenuhi ketersediaan unsur hara yang esensial bagi tanaman.
Tanah berasal dari batuan induk yang telah mengalami proses pelapukan. Proses pembentukan tanah ini melalui beberapa tahapan, yang diawali dari proses pelapukan yang berlangsung terus menerus sampai bahan induk tanah bisa berubah menjadi tanah. Tanah yang terbentuk akan memiliki karakteristik yang akan membedakan antara satu tanah dengan tanah yang lainnya. Karakteristik yang dimaksud adalah karakteristik fisik, kimia kesuburan, biologi dan mineralogi tanah. Tanah bekas tumbang adalah tanah sisa hasil dari kegiatan pertambangan dan sangat jarang ditemukan horizon tanah asli. Kebanyakan tanah yang dikembalikan telah bercampur dan membentuk horizon baru yang mungkin sulit dikenali batasnya. Se...

This publication offers a framework for the empowerment of people living in poverty throughout the world that concentrates on increasing people's freedom of choice and action to shape their own lives. Based on analysis of practical experiences, the book identifies four key elements to support empowerment: information, inclusion and participation, improved accountability and local organisational capacity. This framework is then applied to five areas of action to improve development effectiveness: provision of basic services, improved local governance, improved national governance, pro-poor market development, and access to justice and legal aid. It also offers twenty 'tools and practices' which concentrate on a wide-range of topics to support the empowerment of the poor.

This publication, Keys to Soil Taxonomy, Twelfth Edition, 2014, coincides with the 20th World Congress of Soil Science, to be held on Jeju Island, Korea in June 2014. The Keys to Soil Taxonomy serves two purposes. It provides the taxonomic keys necessary for the classification of soils in a form that can be used easily in the field. It also acquaints users of soil taxonomy with recent changes in the classification system. The twelfth edition of the Keys to Soil Taxonomy incorporates all changes approved since the publication in 1999 of the second edition of Soil Taxonomy: A Basic System of Soil Classification for Making and Interpreting Soil Surveys.
High yields and environmental control in crop farming call for precise adaptations to local growing conditions. Treating large fields in a uniform way by high capacity machinery cannot be regarded as a sustainable method for many situations. Because differences existing within single fields must be considered. The transition from former field work carried out manually or by small implements to present-day high-capacity machinery caused that the farmers lost the immediate and close contact with soils and crops. However, modern sensing and controlling technology can make up for this deficit. High tech methods that include proximal sensing and signals from satellites can provide for controls that allow adjusting farming operations to small fractions of one ha and sometimes even down to some m2, hence in a site-specific mode. This applies to operations for soil cultivation, sowing, fertilizing and plant protection. This book deals with site-specific concepts, applications and results.
Witchweeds (Striga species) decimate agriculture in much of Africa and parts of Asia, attacking the major cereal grains and legumes, and halving the already very low yields of subsistence farmers. Several years of research have provided promising technologies, based on the fundamental biology of the parasite?host associations, for dealing with this scourge. However, there is an apparent realization that these technologies will fail because highly successful weeds such as Striga evolve resistance to all types of controls unless proven methods are integrated with each other for a more sustainable solution.Integration is often an anathema to basic scientists who typically deal with single varia...
