there are human and animal health concerns related to drainage systems because nutrients, especially nitrogen and phosphorus, can contaminate water supplies. a field study was conducted on consolidated paddy fields of sari agricultural sciences and natural resources university, northern iran (36.3°n, 53.04°e), to determine the effect of subsurface drain depth and spacing on nitrogen (n) and pho...

phytoplankton communities play a significant role in the oceanic biological pump by forming the base of the trophic structure. increase in nutrients loading affects spatial and temporal distribution of phytoplankton. this study examined the phytoplankton community structure and ecological indices in relation to nutrients dynamics in both estuarine and oceanic areas of ramisi-vanga systems alon...

the main reasons for the fixation of some elements and consequently nutrient deficiencies, especially phosphorus, iron and zinc, are high levels of calcium (calcareous soils) and soil ph. two sulfur fertilizers (sulfur alone and sulfur + organic material + thiobacillus spp.) with two rates (2 and 4 kg sulfur/tree) were used to decrease soil ph and availability of p, fe and zn in apple trees dur...

this study investigated the effects of sewage discharge on nutrient concentrations and bod5 levels in the coastal waters and sediments ofthe city of mombasa. the results indicated that nutrient concentrations in tudor, mtwapa and makupa creeks were elevated as compared to concentrations in gazi creek (mean ranges of 0.022-0.039mg/l, 0.038-0.163mg/l and 0.034-0.118mg/lphosphates, nitrates and am...

Calcium Absorbed form the soil as the cation, Ca. Most calcium uptake occurs near the root tip. Poorly translocated within the plant. Deficiencies of Ca first affect the growing points of plants, including root tips. Calcium is important for cell wall formation and the integrity of cell membranes. Sensitive crops to Ca deficiency and characteristic symptoms. Crop Symptoms Peanuts Old leaves hav...

Nutrients, lipids in particular, make up the central nervous system structure and play major functional roles: they stimulate development, migration, and nerve cell differentiation. They are part of gray matter, white matter, nerve nuclei, and synaptogenesis. Breast milk contains lipids which are crucial for infant brain development. The lipid profile of breast milk was used as a guideline for ...

Synthetic nitrogen (N) fertilizer has enabled modern agriculture to greatly improve human nutrition during the twentieth century, but it has also created unintended human health and environmental pollution challenges for the twentyfirst century. Averaged globally, about half of the fertilizer-N applied to farms is removed with the crops, while the other half remains in the soil or is lost from ...

(2) (3) These are not presented in the form of practical allowances. Hence, in practice, safety margins will be allowed to take account of such factors as variations in availability of nutrients in different samples of feeding-stuffs, possible losses during manufacture and storage of food, breed and individuality of animals, environmental circumstances and standards of husbandry. livestock has ...
