The objective of this work is to develop a new class of nanocomposite ultrafiltration (UF) membranes with excellent solute rejection rate and superior water flux using zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The effect of ZIF-8 and MWCNTs loadings on the properties of polyvinyldifluoride (PVDF)-based membrane were investigated by introducing respecti...

one of the strategies for improving the quality of agricultural products is using bio-fertilizers. so in order to study the effects of mycorrhizal fungi, vermicompost and humic acid on growth characteristics and yield of fennel, an experiment was studied on research farm of agricultural college of shahrood university. this study was conducted as factorial experiment based on completely randomiz...

Field experiments were carried out during 2011-2014 at the Research and Experimental 13 Center to Combating Desertification located in the Elsen Tasarkhai station of central Mongolia. The 14 study was aimed to identify the effects of oxidized brown coal humic acid fertilizer on the relative 15 growth rate of several trees for forest rehabilitation. The trees used were Populus sibirica, Salix 16...

the study was carried out to evaluate the effects of soil application of humic acid and calciumon morpho-physiological traits and na+, mg2+, ca2+ uptake of pistachio seedling (akbari) grown under salt stress.  a completely randomized design was used with four replications in greenhouse conditions. the experimental treatment consisted of four levels of humic acid (bis humic) (0, 4, 8 and 12 gr k...

to evaluate the effect of slow release fertilizer and humic acid on quality of new guinea impatiens (impatiens hawkeri), an experiment established in complete random design with 15 treatments and three replications. treatments were slow release fertilizer (12-11-18-2.7mgo-8s) in five levels (0, 1.5, 3, 4.5 and 6 kg/m3) and humic acid in three levels (0, 2 and 4 kg/m3) that mixed with medium cul...

in order to evaluate the effect of humic acid and zn on the grape yield and mineral concentration, a factorial experiment was conducted based on a randomized complete block design with three replications. the study was done on 20 years old grapevines in the farsan region from chaharmahal and bakhtiari province in 2013-2014. each of the factors, humic acid and zinc sulfate, were applied in three...

abstractin order to evaluate the effect of vermicompost and humic acid on quantitative and qualitative traits of sod turf, a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with three replications was established in research farm in shahrekord university. treatments were vermicompost (zero, 5, 10 and 15 v/v percent) and humic acid (zero, 150 and 250 g/m2), respectively. some traits s...

In a sustainable agriculture system, application of the fertilizers which are nature friendly and suitable for plants is essential. This becomes more important when dealing with medicinal plants. Therefore, a factorial experiment in a randomized complete block design with three replications was set up in the 2012-2013 on Nigella sativa L. Treatments were nano­fertilizer (Pharmks®) (at 2 levels ...

introduction roselle (hibiscus sabdariffa l.) as a medicinal plant belongs to the malvacea family. their active ingredient increases under water stress. humic acid bacteria derived from humus and other natural resources have hormonal effects and can improve nutrient absorption to enhance performance especially under stress conditions . materials and methods this experiment was conducted in the ...
