Effects of Nitrogen and the Various Forms of Nitrogen on Phalaenopsis Orchidã¢â‚¬â€a Review

Our faculty and students piece of work at the borderland of sustainable agriculture research.

Projects & Grants

The Agroecology Plan has received more than $5 million in support from USDA Hispanic Serving Institutions, Multicultural Scholarship Program, International Science Education Program, and National Needs Fellows Plan. This funding supports students at every level in Environmental Studies, Biological Sciences, Nutrient and Dietetics, Economics and Business. These projects have too led to partnerships with universities in India and Honduras.

With South Florida's unique Hispanic urban setting and twelvemonth-round cropping conditions and challenges, there are many opportunities to expand research and technology developments in agriculture. With USDA Hispanic-Serving Agricultural Colleges and Universities designation,our program has increased opportunities to expand agricultural sciences activities.

Facilities & Equipment

Organic Garden

At our easily-on pedagogy facility, students gain experiential learning about food production and its relationship to the ecosystem through gardening and plotted experiments.

Nestled side by side to the FIU Nature preserve, the garden provides excellent opportunities to understand the various interactions between growing food and ecosystem needs. It contains 9 singled-out areas for inquiry and education: shade house, class plots, community plots, herb garden, fruit grove, meditation gardening, composting, biofuels and aquaponics.

Technical Equipment

• LECO Truspec Carbon/Nitrogen Determinator

  The LECO Truspec C/N Determinator is an musical instrument that determines the Carbon and Nitrogen content of a variety of materials, including foods, feeds, oilseeds, fertilizers, meats, and soils. The musical instrument is connected to an external PC and uses a Windows-based software program to control the system operation and data management.

  There are three phases during an assay bicycle: purge, combust, and analyze.

  In the purge phase, the encapsulated sample is placed in the loading head, sealed, and purged of any atmospheric gases that have entered during sample loading. The ballast volume and gas lines are also purged.

  During the combustion phase, the sample is dropped into a hot furnace (950°C) and flushed with oxygen for very rapid and consummate combustion. The products of combustion are passed through a secondary furnace (Afterburner, 850°C) for further oxidation and particulate removal. An additional furnace filter and a two-stage thermoelectric cooler remove moisture. The combustion gases are then collected in a collection vessel known as the ballast.

  In the assay phase, oxygen is injected into the ballast and mixed with the combustion gases. The homogeneous combustion gases in the ballast are then purged through the CO2 infrared detector and the 3cc aliquot loop. Once the gases have equilibrated, carbon is measured every bit carbon dioxide by the CO2 detector. The gases in the aliquot loop are transferred to the helium carrier flow, swept through hot copper to remove oxygen and alter NOx to N2 and and then period through the Lecosorb and Anhydrone to remove carbon dioxide and h2o, respectively. A thermal conductivity cell is used to decide the nitrogen content.

  The final effect is displayed as weight percent or in parts per million as determined past the operator. Results can be calculated on a user-defined footing – including dry-ground and full poly peptide.
