The Field experiment was conducted at College farm, of Agriculture, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad during rabi season 2022 on zinc deficient soils to evaluate the effect nano growth, yield and quality sweet corn. study included 9 treatments with 3 forms Zn fertilizer viz., ZnSO4, EDTA Nano Zn. Results indicated that foliar application 5 g L-1 produced significantly highest parameters, cob (15.5 t ha-...

An experiment was conducted during Rabi season of 2019-20 with the objective evaluating effect mulching and nutrient management practices on growth, yield economics maize (Zea mays L.) at Balindi Research Complex, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Nadia, West Bengal, India clay loam soil. The laid out in Randomized Block Design nine treatment (T) combinations such as T1- Live mulch (Trifoli...

With the goal of improving N fertilizer management to maximize soil organic carbon (SOC) storage and minimize N losses in high-intensity cropping system, a 6-years greenhouse vegetable experiment was conducted from 2004 to 2010 in Shouguang, northern China. Treatment tested the effects of organic manure and N fertilizer on SOC, total N (TN) pool and annual apparent N losses. The results demonst...

A biotechnology for aerobic conversion of food waste into organic fertilizer under controlled aeration, stirring, pH and temperature at 55-65 degrees C, is proposed. To maintain neutral pH at the beginning of the bioconversion 5% CaCO3 was added to the total solids of the food waste. The addition of 20% horticultural waste compost as a bulking agent to the food wastes (w.w./w.w.), improved the ...

Semi-arid soils cover a significant area of Earth's land surface and typically contain large amounts of inorganic C. Determining the effects of biochar additions on CO2 emissions from semi-arid soils is therefore essential for evaluating the potential of biochar as a climate change mitigation strategy. Here, we measured the CO2 that evolved from semi-arid calcareous soils amended with biochar a...

The aim of this study was to compare the effects of four fertilizer applications-control (C), chemical fertilizer (F), compost (O), and in situ earthworm breeding (E)-on the growth, quality and yield of papaya (Carica papaya L.). In this study, 5 g plant-1 urea (CH4N2O, %N = 46.3%) and 100 g plant-1 microelement fertilizer was applied to each treatment. The fertilizer applications of these four...

Paraptosis is the programmed cell death pathway that leads to cellular necrosis. Previously, rodent and human monocytes/macrophages killed glioma cells bearing the membrane macrophage colony stimulating factor (mM-CSF) through paraptosis, but the molecular mechanism of this killing process was never identified. We have demonstrated that paraptosis of rat T9 glioma cells can be initiated through...

FUKUOKA, Y., OKUDA, T. and TACHIBANA, T. Variance in the Activity o f the Fourth Component of Mouse Complement. Tohoku J. exp. Med., 1983, 141 (2), 225-235 There are two methods for hemolytic titration of 04. One is a method using EACIgP, °XyC2hu and EDTA-CSP (E-C method) and the other using EACIgP, oxyC2hu and C4DSP (C4D mehtod). The 04 titers obtained by these two methods differed depending o...

This study compared text entry performance of two stylus-driven soft keyboards for use in hand-held computing devices: the QWERTY and the T9. Participants transcribed text presented on a computer screen into a personal digital assistant (PDA) using a stylus and one of these two keyboards. We introduced a new psychophysical technique for measuring transcription rate that provides a composite mea...
