A method of gas analysis is described for estimating carbon dioxide in the presence of nitrous oxide, using a modified Lloyd-Haldane apparatus. Some of the sample, after scrubbing with soda-lime, bubbles through the potash and this eliminates the solubility effect of nitrous oxide by equilibrating the standard potash solution with nitrous oxide at the tension of the sample analysed and eliminat...

A consideration of fertilizer materials furnishing the three' major plant foods reveals the fact that sources of phosphoric acid and potash have remained almost constant while the sources of nitrogen have undergone decided changes. Superphosphate has been, and probably will continue to be, our main source of phosphoric acid in most fertilizer mixtures. In the year 1900, 79.8 per cent. of the to...

Effects of chemical fertilizers (urea, super phosphate and potash) on toxicities of two carbamate insecticides, carbaryl and carbofuran, individually to the N2-fixing cyanobacterium, Cylindrospermum sp. were studied in vitro at partially lethal levels (below highest permissive concentrations) of each insecticide. The average number of vegetative cells between two polar heterocysts was 16.3 in c...

Chloride is a relatively unreactive plant nutrient that has long been used as a biogeochemical tracer but also can be a pollutant causing aquatic biology impacts when concentrations are high, typically from rock salt applications used for deicing roads. Chloride inputs to watersheds are most often from atmospheric deposition, road salt, or agricultural fertilizer, although studies on agricultur...

25 normal and healthy human volunteers were engaged in this investigation. The different concentration of potash alum solution have different effects on sperm, motility/death and fructose level of the semen. Higher concentration have higher effects.
