Geoactive soil fungi were investigated for phosphatase-mediated uranium precipitation during growth on an organic phosphorus source. Aspergillus niger and Paecilomyces javanicus were grown on modified Czapek-Dox medium amended with glycerol 2-phosphate (G2P) as sole P source and uranium nitrate. Both organisms showed reduced growth on uranium-containing media but were able to extensively precip...

Background: Erythromycin production often has concern with the consumption rate of amino nitrogen and phosphate, especially in the early fermentation phase. The dynamic regulation of nitrogen and phosphorus was put forward based on the comprehensive analysis of the contents of phosphorus and nitrogen in different nitrogen sources as well as the relations between nitrogen consumption and phospho...

the high cost of fertilizers in farming systems, soil pollution and degradation of soil are factors that caused to full use of available renewable nutrient sources of plant (organic and biological) with optimal application of fertilizers in order to maintain fertility, structure, biological activity, exchange capacity and water-holding capacity of the water in soil. therefore, in recent years, ...

phosphorus is an essential element for plants. much of the agricultural lands of iran has calcareous soils, in which, due to high ph, phosphorous availability is less, therefore, it appears as a limiting factor for plant growth. application of biofertilizers instead of chemical ones has gained attention in order to produce healthy crops, reduce pollution of soil and water resources by reducing ...

introduction cultivated sunflower is one of the largest oilseed crops in the world. sunflower seed is the third largest source of vegetable oil worldwide, following soybean and canola. nitrogen is one of the most important elements for crops to achieve optimum yields and quality. phosphorus (p), next to nitrogen, is often the most limiting nutrient for crop and forage production. phosphorus ava...

introduction: soil fertility management is a key factor in achieving sustainable agriculture. use of organic fertilizers is one of the methods that without environmental harmful effects with improvement of chemical and biological conditions increases soil fertility. nitroxin contains a collection of the best strains of nitrogen fixation bacteria of the genus azospirillum and azotobacter. these ...

drought stress is one of the most important problems of agriculture and an important factor of plant product reduction. application of absorbent materials can help usage of sporadic rain fall and cause more maintenance of water storage. in order to study the effect of super absorbent polymer, potassium sulfate and manure under drought condition and favorable irrigation on some traits of foxtail...

A green and convenient method for the synthesis of 2-amino-3-phenylsulphonyl-4H-chromenes by a one-pot three-component condensation of 1-naphthol, phenylsulphonylacetonitrile and aromatic aldehydes under solvent-free conditions using potassium phosphate tribasic trihydrate as an efficient catalyst is described. The reaction of 1-naphthol with phenylsulphonylacetonitrile and various aromatic...

The present study was based on the hypothesis that muriate of potash is a cheaper and rich source of potassium, but adversely affects the crops yield due to high Cl content. For this reason both column and field experiments were conducted to study the effect of potassium rates and sources on the availability of Cl, SO4 and K to maize crop growing on Haripur and Ghazi soils during 2004. In colum...
