An Ultic Haploxeralf soil collected from ridges built into the slopes of the Coastal Mountain Range of Central Chile was used in applications of humic and fulvic acids (HFA) extracted from sludge from sewage treatment plants, in combination with gypsum (CaSO4). A total of 12 treatments were applied by combining four doses of HFA (0, 20, 30 and 40 t ha-1) with three doses of gypsum (0, 1.2 and 6...

In the in-situ remediation of ammonium (NH4+) in groundwater by a sequential reactive barrier filled with zeolite, it is of great importance to understand the mechanisms of NH4+ sorption to zeolite. In this study, the effect of dissolved natural organic matter on NH4+ sorption to natural Chinese clinoptilolite was studied by batch experiments taking humic acid (HA) as a model substance. The sur...

Polyvinyl chloride polymer (PVC) dispensers loaded with ethyl (E,Z)-2,4-decadienoate (pear ester) plus the sex pheromone, (E,E)-8,10-dodecadien-1-ol (codlemone) of codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L.), were compared with PVC dispensers and a commercial dispenser (Isomate-C Plus) loaded with codlemone. Evaluations were conducted in replicated plots (0.1-0.2 ha) in apple, Malus domestica (Borkhaus...

An experiment was carried out at the Agronomy Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during June to December 2012 with a view to finding out the effect of variety and nitrogen fertilizer application on the growth and yield of transplant Aman rice. The experiment comprised four varieties viz. BRRI dhan33, BRRI dhan34, BRRI dhan39 and BRRI dhan46, and four levels of nitr...

to study the effects of integration of mechanical control with herbicides on yield and yield components of soybean (glycine max) a field experiment was conducted during 2003-2004 at the research farm of agronomy department, agriculture campus of tehran university, karaj. a randomized complete block design (rcbd) of 18 treatments was applied, each treatment being replicated 3 times. treatments i...

this research was conducted at the department of horticluture, university of tehran during years 2005-2006, to investigate the use of iran apatite rocks in zeoponic substrate and as well to evaluate them as substitutes for phosphate fertilizers. five different substrates namely: m1: 89 wt. % soil+10 wt. % zeolite + 1 wt.% jeyrood apatite; m2: 82 wt.% soil + 15 wt.% zeolite+ 3 wt. % jeyrood apat...
