a pot experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design, to study the effect of zinc sulphate (znso4) and ascorbic acid(as) foliar application application 20 and 40 ppm was compared to the control (distillated water) on flowering gazania (gazania rigens l. daybreak red stripe).results were analyzed by spss software and duncan test. results showed that znso4 and as had positive effect o...

Solid waste dump site-based pollution is one of the colossal health concerns globally due to presence cellulose, starch, protein, and lipids, which a perfect nutrient for development biodegrading potential microbes. The current study aimed determine productive microorganisms biodegradation. Ten samples were collected from different areas Karachi sites. identification characterization isolates d...

introduction: citrus are one of the important orchard fruit production that after banana is second in production at the world level and every year, chemical fertilizers having most important role in increasing crops productions, but in long application of fertilizers cause soil destructions and polluting underground water. also soils of dry regions are very poor in organic matter level. nowaday...

The contamination of agricultural soils by heavy metals is a global problem. Soil texture as a biotic factor represents one of the most important factors that influences the distribution of organic matter and ultimately play decisive role in retention of heavy metals in soil ecosystem. The effects of heavy metals on soil microbial processes were investigated. Analytical grade sulphate and chlor...

OBJECTIVE To analyse the effects of zinc supplementation on growth parameters in a representative sample of young children in rural Burkina Faso. Design Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled efficacy trial. Setting Eighteen villages in rural northwestern Burkina Faso. Subjects In all, 709 children aged 6-31 months were enrolled; 685 completed the trial. Intervention Supplementation with ...

according to the global water shortage problem, the exploring for reducing its harmful effects is very important. this experiment was conducted as split plots method based on randomized complete block design with three replicates in urmia university research field during growing season of 2013-14. water deficit stress as main plot consisted of three levels (irrigation when soil moisture reached...

OBJECTIVE In this study, we aimed to compare the effect(s) of zinc sulphate on growth and serum iron variables when it is given with ferrous sulphate in iron deficiency anemia (IDA). MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients (n=79) were randomly divided into two groups. In one group (n=40) 4 mg/kg/d ferrous sulfate was given orally. In the other group (n=39), in addition to ferrous sulfate, 5 mg/d oral ...

Everted sacs of rat duodenum and ileum were used to study the effect of anions and organic ligands on the absorption of zinc. The uptake per unit weight of tissue was greater in duodenum than ileum, and it was influenced by the Zn concentration and pH of the incubation medium. The Zn uptake from inorganic salts in simple buffered medium varied in the order zinc sulphate greater than zinc chlori...

The aim of the current study was to determine if induction of metallothionein (MT) via acute or chronic dietary zinc supplementation attenuates intestinal inflammation, and to investigate the relationship with site-specific intestinal MT determined by immunolocalization. Growing rats were assigned to zinc-deficient (ZD), acute zinc-treated (ZT), pair-fed, control or chronic Zn-supplemented (ZS)...

This study assessed the effects of zinc on male sex hormones and semen quality in male albino wistar rats. Forty rats weighing between 150- 210g, grouped into 5 of 8 rats each, were used for the research that lasted for six weeks. Group I, the control group, received normal rat chow and water ad libitum. The four test groups II-V, received 20g, 40g, 60g and 80g of zinc sulphate mixed with their...
