1. 1978-01-01 The focal point of this study is the pressing need to utilize rice husk as an energy source, especially in the developing countries. It surveys the available processes and equipment for burning rice husk for energy production, mainly inside rice mills, combined, with high grade ash production and...
  2. 1970-01-01 This study was undertaken primarily to determine whether the manufacture of lightweight concrete bricks, on a small scale and using rice husks as an aggregate, is economic. Technical details of the process are not included in this report which is restricted primarily to the costing of a...
  3. 2010-01-20 We at ECHO are sometimes asked what we recommend for a germination medium in situations where seeds or seedlings need to be started in pots or plastic sacks before going out to the field. This past summer, we conducted a trial at ECHO to make and evaluate potting mixes that could serve as...
  4. 2004-04-20 If there are local potters producing terracotta (low temperature unglazed pottery), they can make beads for jewelry, small decorative pieces, etc., and put them into a large fired pot alternating with thick layers of rice husk.
  5. 2006-10-20 What happens to seed yield if a crop is planted in a warmer climate or if global warming causes temperatures to rise? Increased carbon dioxide levels may encourage some plants to grow larger and increase crop yields, but elevated temperatures could leave some seed crops sterile.

  7. This article is from ECHO Asia Note # 37. 可持续农业最大的挑战之一就是如何将充足且价格实惠的有机资源(碳基)用于食物和饲料生产。利用堆肥、肥料、覆盖物和其他来自农业的有机投入本身就是一个挑战,而且每一种生产往往都需要自己特有的投入材料。有的材料在农业生产中常常是有直接竞争关系的,完全供应给土地小和劳动力少的农场是有挑战性的。例如,地膜可能与牲畜饲料直接竞争,因此在生产足够地膜的同时喂牲畜是一个挑战。使用同样的材料来制造堆肥或燃料就更有挑战性了。 在访问了该地区许多不同的小规模农场后,最成功的农场似乎都有一个共同的方法,那就是找出一种容易获得的有机...
