Equilibrium Moisure from Topography, Vegetation, and Soil (EMT + VS)
In a NutshellResearchers in Colorado State University's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering have developed a new method to increase resolution of soil moisture maps by incorporating fine-resolution information on topography, vegetation, and soil. Estimated soil moisture patterns are becoming more readily available at coarse (9 km - 50...

Diagnosing Amaranthus species in seed mixture using KASP
Several Amaranthus species are very common and are not prohibited noxious weeds (e.g., redroot pigweed, smooth pigweed), and seeds of the various Amaranthus species (Table 1) cannot be reliably visually identified. This invention describes a DNA genotyping method to detect either Palmer amaranth or wathermp in a mixture of bulked Amaranthus seeds.Investigators...

Electrochemical removal of nutrients from agricultural waste
Heavy metal contamination is a major threat to the environment. One of these heavy metals is copper (Cu), which is used widely as an effective disinfectant in footbaths for dairy cows. Copper Sulfate (Cu S04) is used three times a day in dairy farm footbaths, and then released into the premise lagoon. Copper can accumulate in soil and plants in the...
