to investigate effects of different super absorbent polymer and animal manure ratios on the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of soybean under drought stress, a split plots experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with three replications in marvdasht, iran in 2009. main factor included of irrigation with 50, 100 and 150 mm evaporation from pan class a and su...

Introduction Many analysts 1,2,3 identify carbon dioxide (CO 2) capture and separation as a major roadblock in efforts to cost effectively mitigate greenhouse gas emissions via sequestration. An assessment 4 conducted by the International Energy Agency (IEA) Greenhouse Gas Research and Development Programme cited separation costs from $35 to $264 per tonne of CO 2 avoided for a conventional coa...

Background and Objectives: The addition of plasticizers (mainly phthalates and adipates) makes plastic flexible and popular for packaging, storing and preserving food, water, and so on. The most widely used plasticizer in food contact applications is di-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) though being suspected to have carcinogenic and estrogenic properties. The aim of this study is application of magn...

in order to investigate the effects of super absorbent polymer application on reduction of drought stress to corn, a split plot arrangement based on randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted at research field of agriculture faculty of ferdowsi university of mashhad during growing season of 2010-11. the main plot treatments were 1) application of 40 kg.ha-1 super abs...

BACKGROUND: Drought stress and climate changes cause damage led to reduction in agricultural production. OBJECTIVES: Evaluation the impact of different levels of super absorbent polymer (SAP) on reducing the effects of drought stress on some physiological traits and activity of some antioxidant enzymes in wheat crop. METHODS: Current research...

Abstract Absorbent packaging is a form of food designed to absorb excess liquid and moisture that may be present in products. This article provides bibliometric analysis the literature on food-absorbent packaging. The was conducted using Scopus database, 121 documents were selected for study. According study’s findings, number publications absorbent has grown over time. As productive countries,...

Application strategies for avian repellents are needed to maintain efficacious repellent concentrations throughout the period of needed crop protection. We investigated the repellency of an ultraviolet (UV) feeding cue in the absence of postingestive consequences, the combination of the UV feeding cue and an UV-absorbent, postingestive repellent (i.e., a repellent that causes negative postinges...
