Orthophosphate (Pi) is an essential macronutrient that plays a central role in virtually all major metabolic processes in plants, particularly photosynthesis and respiration. Many metabolites are Pi monoesters, whereas the phosphoanhydride bonds of compounds such asATP function to transfer energy from the energyyielding process of photo-, oxidative, and substratelevel phosphorylation to the ene...

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the most important staple food crop in many developing countries, and is ranked third in Kenya after maize and wheat. Continuous cropping without replenishing soil nutrients is a major problem in Kenya resulting to declining soil fertility. The use of chemical fertilizers to avert the problem of low soil fertility is currently limited due to rising costs and environmen...

Tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum) plant were provided with bio-fertilizers issued from anaerobic digestion of olive mill wastewater without and 1%, 5% phosphate residues in mesophilic conditions for 25 days. 1% raw substrates (OMW raw; OMW + 1%PR 5%phosphate residues) digestates (olive digestate, 1%phosphate digestate digestate) was fortnightly to the plants. Reclaimed water a treatment located s...

Phosphate fertilizers were first implicated by Schroeder and Balassa in 1963 for increasing the Cd concentration in cultivated soils and crops. This suggestion has become a part of the accepted paradigm on soil toxicity. Consequently, stringent fertilizer control programs to monitor Cd have been launched. Attempts to link Cd toxicity and fertilizers to chronic diseases are common. A re-assessme...

introduction and aim: sennai (cassia angustifolia vahl) is one of the valuable plants which used to constipation treatment. production of organic plants is one of the goals of medicinal plant production, this is possible with the application of bio-fertilizers. in the past decades due to the use of chemical fertilizers numerous environmental impacts, including soil and water pollution problems ...
