Fire is a critical regulator of biogeochemical cycles in approximately 40% of the earth's land surface. However, little is known about nutrient release from combustion residues (ash and char) from herbaceous or grassland fires of varying intensity. Much of our knowledge in this area is derived from muffle furnace temperature gradient experiments. Therefore, we used two approaches (muffle and fl...

The present study was undertaken to assess the soil fertility status os soils under sugarcane-ratoon-wheat cropping system. Soil samples were collected from farmers fields at three depths viz., 0-15 cm, 15-30 cm and 30-45 analysed for various properties. Results revealed that sandy clay loam in texture, neutral reaction non saline salt content. Mean values of CEC 15.96, 13.13 10.80 C mol (p+) k...

A new soil extractant (HA) with the ability to extract NH4, NO3, and P from soil was developed and tested against 32 soils, which varied greatly in clay content, organic carbon (C), and soil pH. The extractant (HA) eliminates the need for separate phosphorus (P) extractants for acid and calcareous soils and maintains the extract pH, on average, within one unit of the soil pH. The extractant is ...

Mixtures of different compositions of an antiferroelectric liquid crystal compound that exhibits direct smectic-A*(Sm-A*)-smectic-C*(A) (Sm-C*(A)) transition with a ferroelectric liquid crystal compound that exhibits Sm-A*-smectic-C*(Sm-C*) transition are studied using electro-optics and dielectric spectroscopy. The results of optical texture, birefringence, and the tilt angle suggest that a pa...

We previously proposed that entanglement across a planar surface can be obtained from the partition function on Euclidean hourglass geometry. Here we extend prescription to spherical entangling surfaces in conformal field theory. use evaluate log terms entropy of theory two dimensions, conformally coupled scalar four and Maxwell dimensions. For reproduce extractable by Soni Trivedi. take this a...

Conventional farming always modifying by good innovation in agriculture, while the holistic idea of organic checks use synthetic inputs where opposite side, concept natural allowing with few traditional and locally available inputs. The all three concepts are fundamentally different, to check it on real field, a experiment was conducted medium black calcareous clayey soil at Junagadh (Gujarat) ...

The extractability and its biochemical properties of muscular protein with 0.45 M NaCl phosphate buffer from washed muscle, free from digestive enzymes, have been studied in relation to freshness of muscle of Antarctic krill Euphausia superba. To extract a large portion of muscular protein from the fresh muscle obtained from the krill immediately after death, it was necessary to homogenize the ...

Rice paddy soils undergo several cycles of drying and wetting during a growing season. A laboratory study was conducted to determine the effect of soil moisture conditions on the distribution and kinetics of extractable and bound residues of 14C-metsulfuron-methyl in six Chinese paddy soils during 84 d of incubation at 15 degrees C with moisture contents varying from 20 to 50% of the field wate...
