The present investigations were carried out to screen the PGPR isolates from five separate seasonal flower beds (Catharanthus roseus, Portulaca grandiflora, Celosia argentea, Gomphrena globosa and Impatiens balsamina) of Curzon Hall, University Dhaka. bacterial load collected soil samples ranged in between 7.60 ± 6.01 × 106 9.49 5.44× 108 cfu/g, 5.34 4.06×106 13.4 4.8×106 cfu/g 1.01 0.59×106 1....

The diverse community of endophyte is a critical resource in enhancing plant growth. endophytic bacteria belong to larger group microorganisms that have their life-cycle partly or entirely inside the and are located intra inter-cellular spaces vascular tissue. Increasing nutritional content staple crops either through agronomic biofortification conventional plant-breeding strategies continue be...

Litter material was obtained from broiler birds, reared on chaffed straws of wheat (T1 to T4) and paddy (T5 to T8) at floor spaces of 0.15sq.m/bird (T1, T2, T5 & T6) and 0.18sq.m/bird (T3, T4, T7 & T8). The litter material was then mixed with 10% molasses (DMB).The treatment groups (T2, T4, T6 & T8) were inoculated by 1% (v/w) fermented milk on fresh weight basis whereas control groups (T1, T3,...

nickel (ni) is a heavy metal and soil pollutant but existence of small amount of it as a metallic part of urease enzyme in the plants is necessary. remediation of spots contaminated with heavy metals is particularly challenging. phytoremediation, the use of plants for environmental restoration, is a novel clean up technology. in this study, five levels of nickel [control (ni0), ni125, ni250, ni...

Illinois bundleflower (Desmanthus illinoensis (Michx.) Macmillan) has potential as a grain and forage legume for the American Midwest. Inoculant-quality rhizobia for this legume have been identified but not previously characterized. Rhizobia trapped from 20 soils in the natural range of the Illinois bundleflower had characteristics that placed them overwhelmingly within the species Rhizobium gi...

________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of inoculating Lactisil Maize, a dual-purpose inoculant, on the fermentation characteristics and nutritive value of high-moisture maize silage and the performance of lactating cows receiving the silage in their diets. Whole-crop maize was harvested...

For ferritic stainless steels, TiN has effectively been used as an inoculant to produce equiaxed grain structures in casting and welding. However, it is not established whether would be effective additive manufacturing. In this study, the effectiveness of a steel processed by laser powder-bed fusion studied. An alloy without Ti fabricated compared designed form high amount early during solidifi...
