متن کاملNutrient contents and thermal degradation of vitamins in organically grown fluted pumpkin (Telfairia occidentalis) leaves
The nutrient contents of a widely-consumed leafy vegetable produce – Telfairia occidentalis using poultry manure (PM) and mineral fertilizer (Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium-NPK) application were evaluated for comparison. PM at four levels (0, 5, 10 and 15 tonnes) and a standard rate of 90kg NPK per hectare was applied. Leaves were harvested for immediate analyses at 15 weeks after planting ...
متن کاملThe Effects of Nitrogen Fixing Tree (Leucaena leucocephala) and Mushroom (Pleurotus tuber-regium) on Spent Engine Oil Polluted Soil
Greenhouse experiment was conducted for four months using Leucaena leucocephala and Pleurotus tuber-regium to determine their bioremediation potentials. Leucaena leucocephala, Pleurotus tuber-regium and Leucaena leucocephala combined with Pleurotus tuber-regium were tested for their ability to improve nutrient (N, P, K, total organic carbon) and reduce heavy metals (Zn, Ni, Pb, Cu) of soil poll...
