on puerperal fever, as it is fully described in many of our works on midwifery, and my object is merely to bring more prominently under the notice of the Society a mode of treatment which I have been induced to recommend, from its successful results in diseases of a similar nature, as well as in the few cases of this disease in which I have had the opportunity of employing it. For, although I h...

1. A highly purified sporopollenin fraction from Corylus avellana pollen was obtained using a gentle method employing hydrolyzing enzymes (pronase, lipase, cellulase, amylase, cellulysin) and an exhaustive extraction using different solvents. 2. The sporopollenin fractions were degraded by potash-fusion and nitrobenzene oxidation and the low molecular decomposition products were analyzed by TLC...

An experiment was carried out on loamy sand soil to evaluate the effect of organic manures (farmyard manure, vermicompost, poultry manure, neem cake and castor cake) on soil and quality parameters of cowpea during summer season of 2014. Nine treatments were tried out in randomized block design with four replications. Recommended Dose Fertilizer (RDF) i.e. 2040-0 NPK kg ha-1 recorded significant...

Potassium (K) is one of the essential macronutrients required for plants and its availability to hampered due fixation with other ions. The Releasing Micro-organisms (KRMs) present in soil are capable converting fixed form potassium into an available K uptake. Most commonly potash releasing bacteria rhizosphere belong phylum Firmicutes, Proteobacteria Actinobacteria. These microbes produce orga...

Fertilized black soil samples are prepared by mixing desired amounts of fertilizers in the black soils having 10% gravimetric moisture content. Two black soil samples were collected from two different locations of Maharashtra State (India). Three different chemical fertilizers viz., Urea, Di-Ammonium Phosphate and Potash are used. Measurements of complex dielectric constants of these soil sampl...

Application of fertilizers such as urea, diammonium phosphate (DAP) and muriate of potash in soil adversely affected the spore germination of Arthrobotrys dactyloides. Amendment of soil with urea at the concentrations of 1.0%, 0.5% and 0.1% completely inhibited spore germination and direct trap formation on the conidium, whereas muriate of potash delayed and reduced the spore germination even a...
