Improving Soil, and Saving Money, in Eastern Uganda (2/2)
( 本次听写约170词 )
Dictation:
Mucuna takes nitrogen form the air and places it in the soil,
and richensenriching it. Professor
Chairs WalkmenCharles Wortmann, one of the Nebraska researchers notes that the plant also
receivedreseed themselves.
Another method that the scientists suggest is to plant sorghum during one growing season, followed by
cowpea the next, two other
low-input the ways to improve the soil involve using
manure or nitrogen or phosphorus as fertilizer, and the fifth way that the study found may improve sorghum production is to reduce crop tillage.
The researchers say the best methods for farmers depend on their individual needs and their resouces. For example, using animal waste may be best for farms that have the animals to supply it. But on farms that cannot get fertilizer, the best solution may be the method of
root takingrotating sorghum with cowpea.
The researchers tested 142 farms across 3 areas of eastern Uganda, the study took place form 2003 to 2005, the findings have just appeared in
Agronomy Journal. Professor Wortmann and other scientists are continuing their research.
Translation:
黎豆吸收空气中的氮,带给土壤足够的养分。Charles Wortmann 是内布拉斯加的研究员,他说黎豆还会自受花精。
第三种方法是在第一个生长季节种植高梁,紧接着就种豇豆。
剩下两种低成本改良土壤的方法就是:1、用肥料,氮肥或磷肥;2、减少翻耕提高高梁产量。
研究人员表示,农民根据自身需要及合理利用已有资源是最有效的方法。例如,用动物的粪便做肥料。如果此方法不管用,那最好还是用高梁豇豆交替种植法。
自2003年至2005年,研究人员测试了乌干达东部3个不同地区的142块农田,研究成果只表在《农学杂志》上。Wortmann 教授和其他科学家将继续此项目的研究。
Words:
reseed: 再播种
manure: 肥料;施肥于
cowpea: 豇豆
