This research was aimed at assessing the fertilizer quality and public health implications of using digestate biofertilizer from the anaerobic digestion of food wastes and human excreta. Twelve (12) kg of food wastes and 3kg of human excreta were mixed with water in a 1:1 w/v to make 30-l slurry that was fed into the anaerobic digester to ferment for 60days at mesophilic temperature (22-31°C). ...

to evaluate the effects of organic, chemical and integrated fertilizers on yield and yield components of turnip (brassica rapa) an experiment was conducted in research farm of college of agriculture, university of tehran, iran, during 2009 - 2010 growing season. the treatments were arranged as randomized complete blocks design with three replications and fifteen different fertilization systems....

The present study was carried out on one year -old two olive cultivars, Coronaiki as oil cultivar and Manzanillo as double purpose (table and oil) cv. in a private farm located at western desert along Cairo, Alexandria Road (50 km from Cairo), Egypt and planted at 5 x 6 meter apart in sandy soil and irrigated with drip irrigation system trees were similar in growth vigour and received the commo...

BACKGROUND: Super absorbent polymers (SAP) by increasing the capacity of water storage and nutrition materials, reduction of wasting water and evaporation from the surface of soil improve crop production under water stress condition. Bio-fertilizers have the significant advantages to chemical fertilizers; for instance, they do not produce toxic and bacterial substances in the f...

ABSTRACT- Declining land productivity associated with decreasing soil organic carbon and nutrients is a significant issue in monoculture production. The field experiment with different rates of fertilizer systems (60 kg ha-1 N + 100 kg ha-1 P, 300 kg ha-1 Bio-organic (organic fertilizer), 3 kg ha-1 Bioumik (biofertilizer), 30 kg ha-1  N + 50 kg ha-1 P + 150 kg ha-1 Bio-organic fertilizer and 30...

Sugar-cane bagasse (SCB) is used for pectinases production from Thermomyceslanuginosus at 55°C under solid-state fermentation (SSF).The study aims to purify total PNL and PL enzymes produced from SCB as the sole carbon source at 55°C using microbial fermentation technology, and to evaluate the fermented bagasse residuals as fertilizer for the purpose of combatting soil desertification and then ...

The disposal of post methanated diluted effluent (PMDE) from the distillery and fly ash from the thermal power plants has assumed a cosmic dimension in India because they are produced in huge quantities. Thus, their gainful utilization is imperative. In the present paper their gainful utilization for sustainable development has been discussed herein. The results have revealed that the electrica...

to evaluate the effects of phosphate solubilizing bacteria and chemical phosphorous fertilizer on turnip (brassica rapa) forage yield under limited irrigation regimes, a field experiment was conducted in research farm of college of agriculture and natural resources, university of tehran, in karaj/iran during 2009 growing season. the experimental treatments were arranged as split plots. five lev...

in recent years, in order to enhance the health of agroecosystems, concerns on ecological inputs especially to produce medicinal plants, has been increased. in order to evaluate the effects of winter cover crops on pgprs activities and soil nitrogen content in simultaneous application of organic manures and biological fertilizer in a low input production system of cucurbita pepo under minimum t...

Zinc is an essential micronutrient which plays a macro role in the growth and productivity of the plants. Zinc (Zn) deficiency hinders metabolic and physiological activity in plants due to its inevitable role as an enzyme cofactor. Many Indian soil exhibit Zn deficiency with the content much below the critical level of 1.5ppm. The conditions that make unavailability of zinc to plants are high p...
