Glyphosate residue in manure fertilizer decrease strawberry...

September 18, 2020

|

A new study finds that glyphosate residue in manure fertilizer decrease the growth of strawberry and meadow fescue as well as runner production of strawberry. Earlier experiments with Japanese quails showed how glyphosate residue in poultry feed accumulated in quail manure. In these experiments, half of the quails were fed with glyphosate-contaminated feed while the control group were fed with organic feed free from glyphosate residues. This allowed testing whether glyphosate residues in poultry manure affect crop plants if…

The Jade Coast in Itoigawa, Japan

September 18, 2020

The city of Itoigawa, Niigata Prefecture, is known as one of the world’s oldest jade-producing regions. Even today, it’s arguably the most notable location in Japan where jade can be found. This is believed to be due to the city’s geological position, where the Fossa Magna and the Itoigawa-Shizuoka Tectonic Line meet. A plethora of minerals formed 20 to 500 million years ago were brought from the mountain ranges in the east, carried by such rivers as the Himekawa. As a result, many……
