Graphitized multiwalled CNTs (carbon nanotubes) were purchased from ECHO Chemical Co. Ltd. (Taiwan) with an external diameter of 2040 nm and a length of 0.5200 m. The raw CNT powder was etched in 15 M boiling nitric acid solution for 1h. The CNTs were then washed several times with de-ionized water until the pH value of the solution became neutral. Nickel hydroxide nanonets were grown on the...

The improved cleanup of marine oil spills by stimulating biodegradation through the use of a slow-release fertilizer is reported. A paraffin-supported fertilizer containing MgNH4PO4 as active ingredient was developed and evaluated in laboratory and field experiments using quantitative infrared spectrometry and chromatographic techniques. The biodegradation of Sarir crude oil in the sea was cons...

Limited information is available if plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) can promote the growth of fruit crops through improvements in soil fertility. This study aimed to evaluate the capacity of PGPB, identified by phenotypic and 16S rRNA sequencing from a vegetable purple soil in Chongqing, China, to increase soil nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) availability and growth of ki...

in order to investigate the effects of input intensity on species diversity, composition and density of weeds in corn (zea mays l.), an experiment was conducted based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at the agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran during the year 2009. treatments included low input, medium input and high input systems. low...

Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate the agronomic responses 'BRS Vitória' grapevines under bio-fertigation with and without conventional soil fertilizer. A completely randomized design used, three treatments 18 replicates. were: CFI, fertilizer irrigation; BF+CF, fertilizer; BF, only bio-fertigation. following variables were evaluated: graft rootstock diameters; plant growth; nu...

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of various levels of phosphorus fertilizer on the yield and nutritional value of sorghum fodder at three cuttings. The experiment was conducted by using 4 levels of Phosphorus fertilizer viz. 0 (T0) 40 (T1), 80 (T2) and 120 (T3) kg TSP/ha in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). A significant effect (P<0.01) of phosphorus fertilizer application...

A pot experiment was conducted to study the effect of phosphorus and sulphur nutrients as sole in combination from organic integration inorganic sources on groundnut quality. Two studies were select best by using farmyard manure, poultry manure (PM), vermicompost sewage sludge. There six treatments one two, including source single super phosphate (SSP) no (control) trial two. They replicated fo...

With escalating global demand for renewable energy, exploitation of farm wastes (i.e., agriculture straw (ASWs), livestock wastewater (LW) and sewage sludge (SS)) has been considered to attain maximum methane yield (MY) via anaerobic digestion (AD). Results pointed that mixture SS LW as anaerobes’ source with 20 g ASWs/300 mL working volume achieved MY volatile solid (VS) removal efficiency 0.4...
