Quantification of dynamics of soil organic carbon (SOC) pools under the influence of long-term fertilization is essential for predicting carbon (C) sequestration. We combined soil chemical fractionation with stable C isotope analyses to investigate the C dynamics of the various SOC pools after 25 years of fertilization. Five types of soil samples (0-20, 20-40 cm) including the initial level (CK...

Potassium (K) is essential for soil, plant and human nutrition. In calcareous soils, high Ca levels suppress the K uptake by crops therefore, growing in these soils often require above normal of fertilization satisfactory growth. Therefore, a long-term experiment was started soil (medium available K) replicated thrice randomized block design with rice-based cropping system nine treatments [T1- ...

The quality characteristics of selected black gram varieties viz., T9, VBN 5, CO 6, ADT 3 and VBN 7 were evaluated for their suitability to prepare idli. The foaming stability and foaming capacity was found to be maximum in VBN 5 and T9. The arabinogalactan was also found to be high in VBN 5 (80.9 mg/g) and T9 (73.6 mg/g). The physico-chemical properties of idli batter for the selected varietie...

Chemical nitrogen (N) fertilizer has long been used to help meet the increasing food demands in China, the top N fertilizer consumer in the world. Growing concerns have been raised on the impacts of N fertilizer uses on food security and climate change, which is lack of quantification. Here we use a carbon–nitrogen (C–N) coupled ecosystem model, to quantify the food benefit and climate conseque...

Beef fat is a natural source of trans (t) fatty acids, and is typically enriched with either t10-18:1 or t11-18:1. Little is known about the bioactivity of individual t-18:1 isomers, and the present study compared the effects of t9-18:1, cis (c)9-18:1 and trans (t)-18:1 fractions isolated from beef fat enriched with either t10-18:1 (HT10) or t11-18:1 (HT11). All 18:1 isomers resulted in reduced...

Effects of different fertilizers on organic carbon (C) storage and turnover of soil fractions remains unclear. We combined soil fractionation with isotope analyses to examine soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics after 25 years of fertilization. Five types of soil samples including the initial level (CK) and four fertilization treatments (inorganic nitrogen fertilizer, N; balanced inorganic fertil...

Abstract Biogenic amines (BAs) are organic compounds found in fermented food products, such as sausage, vegetables, wine, and fish sauce. Due to their potential be harmful human health markers of quality, BAs content can used an indicator quality safety. Some bacteria have the ability produce or degrade during fermentation. Environmental conditions influence growth that biogenic amines. The aim...

The antimycobacterial activities of a new rifampin (RIF) derivative, 3-(4-cinnamylpiperazinyl iminomethyl) rifamycin SV (To), against 20 susceptible and multidrug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and 20 Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) strains were investigated. The radiometric MICs of T9 for M. tuberculosis were significantly lower than those of RIF. The MICs of T9 and RIF at w...

Chemical composition of soil organic carbon (SOC) is central to soil fertility. We hypothesize that change in SOC content resulting from various long-term fertilization strategies accompanies the shift in SOC chemical structure. This study examined the effect of fertilization strategies along with the time of fertilizer application on the SOC composition by 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) ...

The experiment was conducted to assess the impactofZn and B application on sunflower growth, yield oil content in sub-tropical condition. laid out randomized complete block design (RCBD) with twelve treatmentsand replicated thrice. treatments comprised viz; T1: Without fertilizers (absolute control), T2: RDF (N80P40K40), T3: N80P40K40Zn0.5%, T4: N80P40K40Zn4, T5: N80P40K40B0.2%, T6: N80P40K40B2...
