plant appropriate nutrition is one of the most important factors in improving the quality and quantity of product. providing adequate and balanced of plant nutrients is essential for achieving maximum potential production. potassium is one of the essential elements to plant’s growth. therefore, knowledge of soil potassium status is so important in order to optimum usage of potassium fertilizers...

The Stochastic Calculus of Wrapped Compartments (SCWC) is a recently proposed variant of the Stochastic Calculus of Looping Sequences (SCLS), a language for the representation and simulation of biological systems. In this work we apply SCWC to model a newly discovered ammonium transporter. This transporter is believed to play a fundamental role for plant mineral acquisition, which takes place i...

The recycling of organic wastes is required from the viewpoint of environmental issues. Sewage sludge makes up about 30% of the organic wastes in Japan, and at present, the ratio is increasing (Study group on bio-waste recycling, 1999); therefore, it is important to treat and utilize the sewage sludge. Conventional treatment methods such as land filling and ocean dumping have been regulated to ...

The present investigation deals with the role of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria and chemical fertilizers alone or in combination on urease, invertase and phosphatase activities of rhizospheric soil and also on general impact on growth of safflower cvv. Thori and Saif-32. The PGPR (Azospirillum brasilense and Azotobacter vinelandii) were applied at 10cells/mL as seed inoculation prior to s...

Plant injury has been traced to ammonia derived from organic sources such as urine (9), chicken manure (8), cottonseed meal (12) and animal manure (3). In addition, inorganic sources such as aqua ammonia, anhydrous ammonia, and ammonium salts have been reported injurious to plants when placed too close to the root zone (3, 7). The toxicity of ammonia to animals has been demonstrated by Sumner (...

Concerns regarding the depletion of the world's reserves of oil and global climate change have promoted an intensification of research and development toward the production of biofuels and other alternative sources of energy during the last years. There is currently much interest in developing the technology for third-generation biofuels from microalgal biomass mainly because of its potential f...

Removal and recovery of nitrogen with the Aqua2®N-process demonstrated The overall goal RE-Fertilize project was to demonstrate a new removal process for nitrogen, producing product suitable fertilizers, example. In project, demonstration plant has been built, in operational environment rate >95% ammonium nitrogen. produced sulphate evaluated its agronomic effect proven. A conceptual design ...

A field experiment was conducted to assess the effect of farmyard (cattle) manure (FYM) and inorganic nitrogen (N) phosphorus (P) fertilizers on growth and tuber yield of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.). The treatments consisted of factorial combination of 4 levels of FYM (0. 10, 20 and 30 t h-1) and three levels of inorganic NP fertilizers (0, 33.3%, 66.6% recommended rates) laid out in a Random...

This Bulletin discusses several manufacturing processes for organic compound fertilizers overseas and in Taiwan. The different formulations of N-P2O5-K2O in the fertilizers are also reported. The yield response of different crops from the application of organic compound fertilizer reflects their superiority over organic fertilizers. Experiments also showed that the use of organic compound ferti...
