The quadrupled increase in production of cotton from the 1950s to 2013 was achieved with the help of technological developments in the field of agriculture, mechanical and chemical engineering, etc. Use of such advancements also led to many environmental impacts. Some of these nonsustainable practices include (WWF Report, 2012) ...

Agriculture. Most forages provide insufficient sodium for animal feeding and may lack adequate chloride. Thus salt supplementation is a critical part of a nutritionally balanced diet for animals. In addition, because animals have a definite appetite for salt, it can be used as a deflvery mechanism to ensure adequate intake of less palatable nutrients and as a feed limiter. Salt is an excellent carrier for trace minerals. Salt, either in loose form or as compressed blocks, can be mixed with feed or fed free-choice to improve animal health and productivity (see Feeds and feed additives).

The second most important (3%) use of sodium chlorate in 1990 was as an intermediate in the production of other chlorates and of perchlorates. The use of sodium chlorate as in agricultural appHcation amounted to about 7000 metric tons in 1990. The agricultural use of sodium chlorate is as a herbicide, as a defoHant for cotton (qv). Magnesium chlorate is used as a desiccant for soybeans to remove the leaves prior to mechanical picking (see Desiccants). 

Estimating Minimum Sample Quantity for Moisture Measurement Estimates of material quantity for testing moisture content depend on mechanisms of moisture distribution in the material. Moisture is physically retained on particle surfaces, chemically adsorbed on surfaces and within pores of particulate solids, and contained as an internal constituent of solids. Significant internal moisture is most often encountered in organic and agricultural source materials.
