A biotic strategy to sequester carbon in the ornamental containerized bedding plant production: A review
Álvarez de la Puente, José María; Pasian, Claudio; Lal, Rattan; López Núñez, Rafael; Fernández Martínez, Manuel
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria, 2018-09)
Identifying options of climate change mitigation is of global interest to researchers. Whereas wide range of techniques of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and carbon sequestration have been studied in row crops and ... -
Biochar and vermicompost use as peat based growing media partial replacement to produce containerized ornamentals
(Universidad de Huelva, 2019)The use of organic materials as compost, vermicompost, and biochar as peat substitutes in the ornamental containerized bedding plant production is an interesting biotic strategy to store carbon in garden soil. In the ... -
Morpho-physiological plant quality when biochar and vermicompost are used as growing media replacement in urban horticulture
Álvarez de la Puente, José María; Pasian, Claudio; Lal, Rattan; López Núñez, Rafael; Díaz Blanco, Manuel Jesús; Fernández Martínez, Manuel (Elsevier, 2018)
Peat moss is the most used soilless substrate in the production of container plants in floriculture. Nevertheless, the drainage of peat bogs due to the peat extraction has increased the necessity of seeking products that ... -
Vermicompost and biochar substrates can reduce nutrients leachates on containerized ornamental plant production
Álvarez de la Puente, José María; Pasian, Claudio; Lal, Rattan; López Núñez, Rafael; Fernández Martínez, Manuel (Associação Brasileira de Horticultura, 2019)
Containerized ornamental plant production is facing several environmental challenges. One of them is to replace the widely used, but with questionable sustainability, peat based substrates and another is to avoid water ...
