Combatting Drought with WAPs with Dr. Sanandam Bordoloi
“Efficacy of novel water-absorbing polymer amended soil for improving drought resilience of Solanum lycopersicum” with Dr. Sanandam Bordoloi.
Drought can be a major problem for tomatoes, particularly in changing climates. Water-absorbant polymers can help water stay in the soil to help tomatoes thrive, but costs can make it hard for farmers to use them. In this episode, Sanandam joins me to discuss his research into developing more affordable, effective water-absorbant polymers from the waste material fly ash.
Tune in to learn:
· What a WAP is
· What ratios of WAPs were tested
· What other materials might be useful for WAP production
· How a WAP is like a chia seed

Leaf Mold Compost for Urban Agriculture with Kyle Richardville
“Leaf mold compost for better soil and crop health” with Kyle Richardville
Growing vegetables in urban gardens is becoming a popular and ever more important option for supporting families with nutritious and healthy produce. However, the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides can cause negative impacts on soil, crop, and human health. To reduce these negative impacts, there is a growing interest in using biologicals and compost manure for crop production. This episode, Kyle Richardville, agronomist and regenerative agriculture consultant at “Understanding Ag,” shares his insights on the importance of a compost made from tree leaves and fungi—leaf mold compost—and how it impacts soil microbial communities, soil physical properties, and overall crop production.
Tune in to learn:
· What are biologicals and compost manure?
· What is Trichoderma and how does it help in agriculture?
· How do mycorrhizal fungi benefit plants?
· How does compost manure increase soil and crop health?
