This fact sheet from the Department of Natural Resources looks at improving water quality in farm dams, including information on turbidity, treating stored water, treatment techniques, chemical and bacterial contamination and low oxygen levels in dams.
The term evapotranspiration is simply the sum of evaporation and transpiration. It is the water lost to the atmosphere from the ground surface by evaporation and from the plant by transpiration.
To ensure an irrigation system continues to operate efficiently as designed and installed in a production nursery, it is vitally important to regularly maintain the system. This fact sheet discusses the features of a regular and effective irrigation system maintenance schedule.
This Nursery Paper briefly explains some of the factors to be considered when designing and constructing a nursery reed bed.
Reed beds, also known as constructed wetlands, are useful for removing nutrients from nursery runoff before recycling, reuse or release. This article explains some of the considerations that need to be taken into account when constructing a nursery reed bed.
Water storages in nurseries used for the collection and holding of wastewater from crop production activities will require aeration to maintain water quality over time. Any process that is capable of adding oxygen to the water could be considered a form of aeration.
PH and Electrical Conductivity (EC) meters are extremely useful pieces of equipment used to measure and monitor basic chemical characteristics of water and growing media.
