This study aimed to examine the effect of vermicompost in increasing melon growth and yield obtain a dose that was able provide best yield. The research design used Randomized Block Design (RBD) with one factor, namely consisting of: 0 tonha-1; 5 15 25 35 tonha-1. results showed application increased plant length, number leaves, leaf area, stem diameter, fruit weight per plants. gave tonha-1, 1...

The thermal conversion of sewage sludge to biochar offers a promising alternative use for a hazardous waste material with potential benefits to agricultural productivity and soil quality. Three short-term greenhouse experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of corn cob (CC) and sewage sludge (SS) biochars, with their anaerobically treated counterparts, on soil properties and plant growt...

Soil microbes provide important ecosystem services. Though the effects of changes in nutrient availability due to fertilization on the soil microbial communities in the topsoil (tilled layer, 0-20 cm) have been extensively explored, the effects on communities and their associations with soil nutrients in the subsoil (below 20 cm) which is rarely impacted by tillage are still unclear. 16S rRNA g...

The issues of waste disposal are currently having a global technological and economic complexity. severity the environmental problem is specified by accumulation large volumes various wastes, including sewage sludge (SS). Modern technologies can provide its with benefits. SS rich source nutrients high fertilization potential. This work aims to study utilization wastewater in recycling technolog...

This study aimed to determine the nutrient content and rumen fermentation product in-vitro of rice straw from IR variety fertilized using organic inorganic fertilization. research used experimental methods. examined two paddy fields located in Datar Village, Sumbang District, Banyumas. Land A fertilizer (urea phonska) B cattle dung. Both those lands were planted with rice. Samples 20 points on ...

Organic manure is considered as a beneficial fertilizer on soil quality and an excellent alternative resource of chemical fertilizer (CF). However, organic manure from intensive farms may have a negative impact on soil quality because of containing some harmful components, such as heavy metal and antibiotics. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of poultry litter (PL) and livest...

Co-application of organic-chemical fertilizer (CAOFCF) has attracted wide attention in China recent years. However, its short-term effect on topsoil quality and maize yield a medium-productivity meadow-cinnamon soil is not clear. In order to address this problem, 3-year (2019–2021) field trial was established by arranging the following five treatments: (1) CF, applying chemical alone; (2) OFCF1...

The tomato leafminer, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) is a devastating pest associated with tomato. In this study, effects of tomato plants treated with vermicompost (20, 40, and 60%), humic fertilizer (2, 4 and 6 g/kg soil) and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (Pseudomonas fluorescens and Bacillus subtilis) were investigated on the life table parameters of T. absoluta in a growth chamber at 25 ± 2...

The toxic effects of man-made mineral fibers (MMMFs) have been evaluated by cell magnetometry using alveolar macrophages (AMs). Recently, on the other hand, the murine macrophage cell line, RAW 264.7, became available and has been used as an in vitro model of AMs. The objective of this study was to determine whether or not cell magnetometry using RAW 264.7 cells can be used to evaluate the toxi...
