in order to evaluation the effects of different soil fertility systems on chickpea seed quality, field experiments were carried out in sanandaj agriculture research station of iran in 2007 and 2008 growing seasons. experimental units were arranged in split-split plots based on randomized complete blocks with three replications. green manure levels considered main plots, base fertilizer compound...

Milk and blood serum from clinically mastitis infected, subclinically mastitis infected and healthy Friesian cows (15 samples from each of 3 groups) were evaluated for macrominerals (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus). The milk from cows infected with subclinical mastitis revealed a significant decrease in potassium (P < 0.001) and a significant increase in sodium and phospho...

Since Cuthbertson first published his important investigations, the metabolic response to trauma has been the subject of continuous study in many disciplines of medicine (1-8). An impressive body of knowledge has been accumulated with respect to changes in plasma electrolyte concentrations, urinary electrolyte excretion, body composition, and adrenocortical activity. There is general agreement ...

leaf size indices of the tree species in the peatland of agusan del sur in mindanao in philippines was examined to deduce the variation of forest structure and observed forest zonation.  using raunkiaer and webb’s leaf size classification, the leaf morphometrics of seven tree species consistently found on the established sampling plots were determined.  the species includes ternstroemia philipp...

this research was conducted under greenhouse conditions to evaluate the optimum combination of irrigation and fertilizer levels to attain the best yield and quality of tomato crop. the experiment was conducted by using a split-plot design with three replicates. irrigation levels were applied to the main plots and fertilizer levels to the sub-plots. for each experimental unit, the irrigation lev...

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was grown in earthen pots containing soil of Balkasar Soil Series (Sandy Loam) in green house at the Department of Soil Science and SWC, Pir Mehr Ali Shah Arid Agriculture University, Rawalpindi during Rabi season, 2007. The Crop was treated with two levels of Phosphorus (40 and 80 kg P ha-1 ) in the form of SSP, TSP, NP and DAP. A basal doze of 100 kg N and 60 kg K...

During the past 15 or 20 years our knowledge of the phosphorus content of the human blood has been considerably advanced by the work of several investigators. The inorganic phosphorus fraction, which is only about onetenith of the total phosphorus content of the whole blood, appears to have claimed the attention of most of the previous workers, and, therefore, abundant data are available from t...

Phytic acid (inositol hexakisphosphate [InsP(6)]) is the storage compound of phosphorus in seeds. As phytic acid binds strongly to metallic cations, it also acts as a storage compound of metals. To understand the mechanisms underlying metal accumulation and localization in relation to phytic acid storage, we applied synchrotron-based x-ray microfluorescence imaging analysis to characterize the ...

The influence of cultivar and crop year on mineral components of apple fruits was investigated using three cultivars cultivated at Morioka Branch, Fruit Tree Research Station in 1980 to 1982. The mineral components measured were 9 elmemts, i.e. sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron, manganese, copper, zinc, and phosphorus. The potassium, magnesium, manganese, and phosphorus contents were ...

BACKGROUND Hypophosphatemia is a common metabolic complication in patients receiving specialized nutrition support. We changed our previously reported dosing algorithm because the low dose no longer appeared to be effective at increasing serum phosphorus concentrations. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a revised weight-based phosphorus-dosing algorithm in cri...
