Effects of corn steep liquor (organic fertilizer, OF) and conventional chemical fertilizer (CF) on the growth yield bok choy (Brassica rapa var. chinensis) in summer autumn hydroponic growing systems were compared. When OF CF applied with same amount total nitrogen cultivation, there was no significant difference between yields; however, rate slower than CF. twice (OF2), significantly inhibited...

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is the most important factor of gastric disease in clinical practice. Moreover, smoking, stress and a poor diet may be additive factors for gastric damage. With these factors, increasing infection of H. pylori triggers gastritis, gastric ulcers and gastric cancer. To develop a new protective agent, we are concerned with plant-derived extract. The extract of Copti...

Abstract Sandy soils properties with low nutrients availability and high porosity could be improved the combination application of biochar-compost to increase plant productivity. The objective this study was examine impacts different rates compost-biochar addition on sandy-loam soil cabbage ( Brassica chinensis L. var. parachinesis ) growth performance. oil palm empty fruit bunch biochar pyroly...

Crops adjust root morphological and/or exudation traits in response to phosphorus (P) availability and localized P, governing crop productivity. However, how the intraspecific plasticity of P-acquisition strategies influences plant adaptation P fertilization across doses remains obscure. Root were assessed Brassica chinensis L. Xiaqing Yanchun grown soil with four mineral levels (0, 15, 24, 30 ...

Trichoderma spp., which widely exist in nature, are always used as plant growth-promoting stimulants. However, there is little reporting about the combined use of strains to promote growth plants. We explored two different (Trichoderma atroviride LX-7 and citrinoviride HT-1) a mixture on effects pakchoi. In this study, vitro-promoting traits were determined, six treatments used: T. LX-7, HT-1, ...
