THE USE OF PRUNING RESIDUE MULCH AND SPONTANEOUS GROUNDCOVERS TO CONTROL EROSION AND CARBON LOSS IN OLIVE ORCHARDS

The Use of Pruning Residue Mulch and Spontaneous Groundcovers to Control Erosion and Carbon Loss in Olive Orchards

Many olive orchards are rainfed and located on poor and sloping soil.Tillage is the most common soil management system, leaving the soil vulnerable to erosion.Pruning is a frequently used field operation in olive davis oatmeal and aloe shampoo orchards that generates biomass; thus, pruning residue can be shredded and used as mulch to cover and nour

Al-MWCNT nanocomposite synthesized via spark plasma sintering: effect of powder milling and reinforcement addition on sintering kinetics and mechanical properties

In this work, the effect of mechanical milling of aluminium (Al) powder and subsequent addition of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as reinforcement followed by powder mixture consolidation via spark plasma sintering has been investigated.Grain growth during sintering, densification synovex one grass behaviour and mechanical properties (microh
