Belite cement was prepared using nano-silicas extracted from three different agricultural wastes – black rice husk ash (BRHA), bagasse (BA), and palm oil fuel (POFA) which were reacted at 1200 − 1400 °C with CaC2 residue as calcium source. The product compared that CaCO3. Nano-silica BRHA of very fine particle size (surface area 312.4 m2/g V/S ratio 0.35 × 106 cm) being highly reactive, forms β...

improvement of soil properties through sustainable agriculture requires suitable management of plant residues. this study was conducted to investigate the effect of different types and managements of plant residue on soil physical properties in a field experiment as factorial based on rcbd with three replicates. the first factor was residue type including barley straw and alfalfa residue, and t...

residue management has a direct impact on soil physical and chemical characteristics which in turn have identical effects on sustainability of crop production in agroecosystems. the effects of wheat residual management practices (burning, plowing under and removal) on soil physical and chemical characteristics were investigated in this research. treatments were compared in a complete block desi...

Global sustainability megatrends are promoting the utilization of sustainably perceived fibers such as recycled and agricultural residue in hygiene tissue applications. Tissue paper products advertised sustainable have higher prices inferior performance than conventional manufactured from virgin wood fibers. This work demonstrates feasibility using residues fique plantations (Furcraea microphyl...

this study setout to investigate the effect of wheat residue, tillage, and nitrogen fertilizer management on some agronomic traits of soybean as a split split plot based on randomized complete block design with three replications. the main plots included wheat residue management: collecting and leaving residue and sub plot included tillage (without tillage and conventional tillage), and the sub...
