Greenhouse experiments were carried out for phytoremediation of the Pb/Zn abandoned tailings (pH 3.2 and high metal content) of Rampura-Agucha Mines, Rajasthan. Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp. (cowpea) was chosen as a test crop. On unamended tailings, the seeds of the test plant showed no germination. The tailing was amended with lime (3% on weight basis), 3% lime + NPK (diammonium phosphate at 60...

Phosphorus (P) is the second most important crop nutrient after nitrogen that increases productivity and profitability of maize (Zea mays L.) on P deficient soils in Northwest Pakistan. The objective of this study was to find the best level and time of P application for higher maize (cv. Azam) productivity and profitability. Field experiment was conducted at the Research Farm of Khyber Pakhtunk...

Performance of Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla L.) was evaluated on twelve transplanting dates that were arranged at 30 days interval; during 2013-2014 on experimental field of Wondo Genet agricultural research center; using RCBD design with three replications. Transplanting time exerted a very highly significant (p<0.0001) influence on plant height, flower yield and essential oil yield; essen...

ABSTRACT The soils of the Amazon region, despite being under one densest forests in world, are mostly characterized by low availability nutrients, with litter main route nutrient entry. objective this study was to quantify biomass fine roots dry and rainy seasons year, including organic carbon soil, compare results different environments. carried out environments native forest reforestation age...

Matang Mangrove Forest Reserve (MMFR) in Peninsular Malaysia is under systematic management since 1902 and still considered as the best managed mangrove forest in the world. The present study on silvimetrics assessed the ongoing MMFR forest management, which includes a first thinning after 15 years, a second thinning after 20 years and clear-felling of 30-year old forest blocks, for its efficie...

Hyaluronan (HA) is a glycosaminoglycan composed of N-acetylglucosamine and glucuronic acid subunits. Previous studies have suggested that CD44 expressed by T cells bind exogenous HA for their proliferation. However, HA endogenously synthesized by T cells may participate in their autocrine proliferation. In this study, we examined the role of endogenous HA in T cell proliferation using the highl...

National rice production continues to be increased meet the needs of food security in Indonesia. But reality, every cultivation always raises problem weed disturbances. One way control weeds can through waterlogging. Waterlogging suppress growth and increase yields. This study was conducted from August 2019-January 2020 at greenhouse conditions, Faulty Agriculture, Universitas PGRI Yogyakarta. ...
