This study was carried out in order to evaluate the changes of Nitrogen, phosphor and potassium uptake by wheat and remaining of them in soil under foliar application of Leonardite and foliar application of N and K. The experiment was conducted in Gorgan University of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources during 2013- 2014. The experiment was laid out a using split-plot arrangement based ...

Abstract A field study was carried out to determine the influence of foliage applied plant growth promoter and retardant in improving soil sulphur fertilizer use efficiency cotton during two consecutive summers 2014 2015. Experimental trial comprised three different sources (ammonium sulphate, potassium sulphate elemental sulphur) foliar spray including tap water taken as control. Among treatme...

Background: There has been increasing awareness throughout the world regarding the remarkable decrease in amphibian population. For such amphibian population decline several causes have been given. Cadmium, a heavy metal is released both from natural sources (leaching of cadmium rich soils) and anthropogenic activities to the aquatic and terrestrial environments. This study evaluated the toxici...

Although most animals with scrotal testes are susceptible to cadmium-induced testicular toxicity, strain-related differences are seen in mice. Resistant murine strains demonstrate a decreased cadmium concentration in the testis and also in the epididymis and seminal vesicle. In this study we analyzed cadmium transport into tissues with a vascular barrier, the testis, epididymis, and brain, in a...

Abstraet--A laboratory study of cadmium exchangeability revealed large differences in extractable cadmium which are dependent on the exchange solution being utilized. The standard exchange solutions employed in this study were: N NaNO3, N NaOAc, N NH4OAc, NCaCI~, and 2N CaCI2, in order of increasing Cd removal. An interpretation of the chemical behavior of Cd and an experiment with mixed sodium...

in this study the effects of some soil properties on uptake arsenic and cadmium by silybum marianum was studied. to this end surrounding area asphalt plant of city kalaleh, was divided to 6 pieces (a, b, c, d, e, f), with an area of approximately one hectare. plots a and d on both sides of the river, are the nearest areas asphalt plant. also a non-polluting area as a control was considered. ars...

Cadmium, a metal widely used in industrial processes, has been recognized to be a highly toxic and dangerous environmental pollutant. These excess amounts in addition to naturally occurring levels gradually build up to toxic levels causing damages to the biota of the aquatic ecosystem. The fresh water field crab, Paratelphusa hydrodromous is an important human food source in parts of South Indi...

High incidence of multiple kidney stone formation has been observed among workers exposed to cadmium (Cd). Citrate is known to be a protective factor against renal stone formation. To study the direct effect of cadmium on citrate uptake by the renal brush border membrane, we exposed isolated rat renal brush border membrane vesicles (BBMV) to cadmium and determined their citrate uptake character...

Cadmium is a biologically non-essential divalent hazardous metal. Previous studies demonstrated that cadmium toxic effect was caused by reactive oxygen species. Since gene expression is influenced by the presence of these reactive oxygen species, the association between metal intoxication and gene expression has recently become a major focus of research. We examined the effect of cadmium chlori...
