We evaluated the effect of a newly-developed nutrient solution red perilla (NSP) with various electrical conductivity (EC) levels on plant growth, mineral content, and bioactive compounds. Four-week-old seedlings were grown in greenhouse as control (CT) (EC 1–3 dS m−1) or NSP 1–6 m−1). 1 m−1 induced better growth characteristics, whereas higher EC inhibited growth. Most macro-elements contents ...

Groundwater resources are increasingly being relied on in rural areas for income generation and food security. However, there is currently a lack of simple, yet accessible hydrogeological tools to monitor critical groundwater resources, both for quantity and quality. This is particularly true in developing countries underlain by fractured hard rock aquifers, with low productivities. Electrical ...

Determining osmotic suction from the electrical conductivity (EC) of soil pore water was widely reported in literature. However, while dealing with unsaturated soils, they do not have enough to be extracted for a reliable measurement EC. In this paper, chilled-mirror dew-point hygrometer and contact filter paper method were used determine total matric suctions low-plasticity soils different sal...

The effects of field strength and multiple thermal treatments on electrical conductivity of strawberry products were investigated. Electrical conductivity increased with temperature for all the products and conditions tested following linear relations. Electrical conductivity was found to depend on the strawberry-based product. An increase of electrical conductivity with field strength was obvi...

A two-year field experiment was conducted to investigate the potential application of soil electrical conductivity for variable rate seeding. Map calculations and geo-statistical techniques were used to establish a relationship among EC, elevation, seeding rate, and yield. Yield data taken from the first year, which was a dry year, showed inconsistent relationships and the overall yield variati...

This study was conducted to assess the effect of wastewater quality Paharang drain Faisalabad on ground water adjacent areas. Ground samples and were collected analyzed by using standard methods. Parameters compared with Pakistan National Environmental Quality Standards (NEQS). Results indicated that physico-chemical parameters including pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), chloride, fluoride hard...

This work aimed to evaluate the physiological behavior and growth of jurema-preta seedlings under salinity conditions. The experiment was conducted at Forestry Nursery Academic Unit Engineering/UFCG, with plants kept in 'Leonard' pots. treatments were distributed a completely randomized design, five levels electrical conductivity (EC) nutrient solution (0.5; 2.0; 3.5; 5.0 6.5 dS m-1) four repet...

the study reports some preliminary investigations on the template free synthesis of a scantly investigated polyaniline (pani) derivative-phenylenediamine (pda) by template free method in the presence of oxalic acid (oa) (dopant), using ammonium persulfate as oxidant. polymerization of phenylenediamine (pda) was confirmed by the ft-ir as well as uv–visible studies. the morphology of phenylenedia...
