Biodiversity Home Invasive Species An invasive species is a species occurring as a result of human activities beyond its accepted normal distribution and which threatens valued environmental, agricultural or personal resources by the damage it causes. Introduced species can have a major impact on Australia's environment. They can be aggressive and competitive, preventing or restricting native species' access to available food. They can affect a range of native species, which is especially significant when a species is dependent on another or others for survival. This can lead to reducing species abundance and diversity and the displacement of native species. Invasive species include: Diseases, Fungi and Parasites Feral Animals Insects and Other Invertebrates Introduced Marine Pests ... Weeds The Invasive Species web site provides information about Australian Government invasive species legislation, policies and programmes which are developed and implemented by the Department of the Environment and Heritage.

Terraseed is “advancing crop technology” by offering a major step-change in food quality, assurance and safety, to the benefit of consumers, food retailers, suppliers and the environment. This is achieved by the use of physical barrier systems, replacing agrochemicals for weed, insect and disease control. Public anxiety about food safety and health is addressed by Terraseed technology through reducing the threat of salmonella and E.coli contamination in fresh salad crops. The technology also has applications in pharmaceutical crops and herbs. Terraseed is proven in organic farming for salad and vegetable production and makes large-scale organic production viable, where consumer demand exceeds the ability of leading growers to supply. Cos lettuce crop ready for harvest The technology also benefits the production of tree seedlings for amenity and forestry industries, which are under enormous cost and environmental pressure. Terraseed provides a very positive image in an industry where the technology has often been portrayed as potentially harmful or controversial. The system replaces agrochemicals and is not dependent on genetic modification (GM).

Author: Gregory Mullins, Professor and Extension Specialist, Nutrient Management, Department of Crop and Soil Environmental Sciences; Virginia Tech Publication Number 424-029, Revised 2001 Table of Contents Introduction Potential Environmental Impacts of Phosphorus Phosphorus in Agriculture Phosphorus in Agriculture Soils ... References Introduction Phosphorus (P) is a naturally occurring element that can be found in the earth's crust, water, and all living organisms. Phosphorus (P) is one of 16 elements that are essential for plant growth. Soils in Virginia are naturally low in phosphorus, and most cropping systems on these soils require supplemental phosphorus to maximize their yield potential. Research has documented that applying fertilizer phosphorus increases crop growth and yields on soils that are naturally low in phosphorus and in soils that have been depleted through crop removal. Crop fertilization represents the greatest use of phosphorus in agriculture today. Although the economic benefits of phosphorus fertilization on crop production are well documented, too much of a good thing can be detrimental. Excessive soil phosphorus is a potential threat to water quality. The purposes of this bulletin are to increase the understanding of the effect of phosphorus in agricultural systems on water quality and to provide options for efficient economic and environmental management of phosphorus.

It has a wealth of cultural and ancient landmarks, most prominent is Nizwa fort built over a period of 12 years and located in the middle of downtown. The fort is surrounded by ancient traditional souqs (markets) where the locals trade in traditional as well as imported merchandise, from vegetables to jewelry. Nizwa is an oasis in the enclosed by a series of mountains upon which the famous green mountain ( al Jabal al Akhdar ) lies. The city is also at cross roads that lead to southern Oman as well as the Dhahirah and Sharqiah regions.

Nizwa.NET was born out of that site with pretty much the same information but with more flexibility and ease of navigation. Besides tourist information, the site focuses on issues related to agriculture and the environment, which reflects my field of study.

Quizzes Soil and Environment Activities The following activities are designed for you to study how sol and the environment affects agriculture. Try some or try all of the tasks. Some of these ideas are taken from the Agriculture Saskatchewan series by Saskatchewan Education. Activity 1: Soil Texture Recognizing soil texture and its related characteristics is very important in production decisions made by producers every year. Obtain dry samples of sand, silt and clay. Record your findings in a journal writing format. Using the samples of sand, silt and clay, rub a pinch of each between the thumb and forefinger? Which is the smoothest? the coarsest? Place a pinch of one of the samples in the palm of one hand and add two drops of water from an eyedropper. Use the forefinger of the other hand to mix the water with the soil. Describe how the sample feels when wet. Repeat with the other two samples. Place no more than three to five grains of salt in the palm of one hand. Using an eyedropper, add five drops of liquid laundry starch. Use the forefinger of the other hand to mix the salt and liquid starch. Add three drops of white glue and mix. Compare this mixture to the mixtures produced in part B. Add two more grains of salt and mix. Describe the effect of adding more salt.
