Cultivation of high-biomass crops on coal mine spoil banks: can microbial inoculation compensate for high doses of organic matter?

Two greenhouse experiments were focused on the application of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) in planting of high-biomass crops on reclaimed spoil banks. In the first experiment, we tested the effects of different organic amendments on growth of alfalfa and on the introduced microorganisms. While growth of plants was supported in substrate with compost amendment, mycorrhizal colonization was suppressed. Lignocellulose papermill waste had no negative effects on AMF, but did not positively affect growth of plants. The mixture of these two amendments was found to be optimal in both respects, plant growth and mycorrhizal development. Decreasing doses of this mixture amendment were used in the second experiment, where the effects of microbial inoculation (assumed to compensate for reduced doses of organic matter) on growth of two high-biomass crops, hemp and reed canarygrass, were studied. Plant growth response to microbial inoculation was either positive or negative, depending on the dose of the applied amendment and plant species.

CBD is a life-saver for me.

I have some experience with different types and brands of CBD but have found one that is so great. I knew I would need some and they were having a BOGO sale on tinctures, so I grabbed a couple. Just in time because this months “moon”, if you will, has been absolutely horrible.

Last night I took 45 mg to help me sleep through the pain and it took it away and knocked me out. I took 15 mg the other day before a math test and did super well on that without feeling scatterbrained and anxious. Overall, CBD has helped me tremendously. Improves my mood, takes away pain, let’s me sleep better. Just wanted to share my experience with you all.
