In this study the effect of four levels of nitrogen fertilizer (0, 50, 100, 150) kg/ha and four levels of super phosphate triple (0, 50, 100, 150) kg/ha were investigated on Rubia Inctorum L. (madder) under salinity stress. A factorial experiment was carried out in a research farm in Roaddasht, Isfahan based on complete randomized blocks with three replications. The results of the variance anal...

In the present study the effect of sewage water and canal water irrigation were compared by their physicochemical properties and heavy metals concentration in soil. The mean values of different physico-chemical parameters and heavy metals were : Bulk density (gm/cm) 1.26, Water holding capacity(%)-53.60, Temperature(oC)-16.33, Electrical conductivity (dsm-1)0.122, pH-7.5, Organic carbon (%)-1.9...

in order to study the residues of phosphorous insecticides in mazandaran district of iran, ethion, azinphosmethyl, diazinon and malathion four most used pesticides were chosen and river water samples were collected in april to sept. 2000, throughout the mazandaran state. thin layer chromatography was used, since it was the best applicable method in area with reasonably high level of sensitivity...

The separation and quantitation of phosphorous oxoanions have been investigated by non-suppressed ion chromatography (IC) with conductometric detection using a modified gluconate-borate buffer as eluent. Hypophosphite being coeluted with the injection peak, its previous oxidation into phosphate is necessary. The method was applied to the determination of hypophosphite and phosphate in several p...

in order to investigate the effects of biological and chemical phosphorous fertilizers and various proportions of maize and grass pea intercropping on yield and yield components of both crops, two experiments were conducted simultaneously in research farm of kerman university and commercial convention farm of bardsir-dashtkar in 2009-2010. the experimental design at two regions was randomized c...

For a long time, the only acceptable treatment for a white phosphorous burn was to keep it covered with water until a physician extracted the phosphorous. When the water dried up or ran-off, contact with air caused the burn to re-ignite. This is a serious problem, especially under battle conditions where water may by scarce or non-existent, and the ability to remove the victim quickly to a trea...

The objective of the present study was to establish an alkali extraction technology for FePO(4)-containing sewage sludge obtained from a wastewater treatment system that includes phosphorous removal by iron electrolysis. By clarifying the extraction properties of phosphorous, organic matter, and inorganic matter, conditions for alkali extraction were optimized. As a result, it was suggested tha...

We thank Metson et al. (1) for their addition to our paper (2). These authors raise an important point, and are definitely right in pointing out the global importance of phosphorous and the dominant role of the livestock industry in its use. Our omission of phosphorous from our calculations, which Metson et al. point out, joins several other important environmental costs of livestock husbandry ...

Phosphorus (P) is one of the primary nutrients generating eutrophication in aquatic systems1. To prevent eutrophication, municipal or agricultural wastewaters are treated to reduce the phosphorus concentrations in the wastewater reaching surface water streams. While unregulated P is a pollutant in a water body, phosphorous is a useful resource in agricultural fertilizers, food supply, and indus...
