nterest in organic fertilizers is growing in the greenhouse industry, but experience and trials are not keeping up. There is little information available on how well the new types of fertilizers provide nutrition for plants compared to traditional water-soluble chemical fertilizers. The most widely available “organic” fertilizers for application like traditional water-soluble fertilizers are fi...

peanut are one of the paired plants of oilseed and protein seed oil is a rich source. in order to evaluate effects sulphur and zinc on growth characteristics and yield of peanuts, a experiment was conducted in bandar kiashahr, guilan province, iran in 2008. the experiment laid out in a factorial arrangement with two factors sulphur (0, 40, 80, 120 kg ha) and zinc chelate on (0, 0.5, 1 and 1.5 g...

Sulphur mustard is a chemical warfare agent, which was largely used during the World War One and in Iraq-Iran conflict. It may also be used as a chemical terrorism agent. Therefore, medical professions should have sufficient knowledge and be prepared for medical intervention of any such chemical attack.Sulphur mustard exerts direct toxic effects on the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract, with su...

Sulphur status of some soils in Edo Central, Nigeria was evaluated in five different locations; Ekpoma, Irrua, Uromi, Ubiaja and Agbede. The area lies within the derived savanna-forest transitional zone. Surface soil samples (0 – 15 cm) collected from the five localities wasanalyzed for their physico-chemical properties, inorganic, organic and total sulphur contents. Results showed that inorgan...

Oilseed crops grown in different types of soil experience nutrient deficiency, especially sulphur, zinc and boron, which affect crop productivity. To tackle it, management practices must be streamlined to avoid improper fertilizations deterioration health. With this background, experimental trials were conducted study the effect boron application on growth, yield components hybrid sunflower at ...

Chemical and spectroscopic studies have shown that in agricultural soils most of the soil sulphur (>95%) is present as sulphate esters or as carbon-bonded sulphur (sulphonates or amino acid sulphur), rather than inorganic sulphate. Plant sulphur nutrition depends primarily on the uptake of inorganic sulphate. However, recent research has demonstrated that the sulphate ester and sulphonate-pools...

an efficient method was employed for the ash and pyrite sulphur removal from bitumen using column flotation process. the bitumen samples containing 9.6% sulphur (6.81% in the pyrite sulphur form) and 26.4% ash were successfully showed up to 75.20% of pyrite sulphur (e.g.; 51.66% of total sulphur) and 70.81% of ash removal. the box-behnken design (bbd) was employed to design the experiments, to ...
