to study the possible use of phytase and yeast (saccharomyces cervisiae) in corn-soy bean meal base diet with different levels of available phosphorous in arbor acers broiler chicks, an experiment was conducted with 264 day old chicks of an average weight of 44.6 grams each. a completely randomized design of 6 treatments and 4 replications (11 chicks per replicate) for periods of starter, growe...

Phosphorous is going to be plant nutrient that will limit the agricultural production in the next millennium. It is a major growth-limiting nutrient, and unlike the case of nitrogen, there is no large atmospheric source that can be made biologically available (Ezawa et al., 2002). As regards the role of P, it stimulate root development and growth, gives plant rapid and vigorous start leading to...

Multiple cropping (i.e. intercropping or mixed cropping) plays an important role in agriculture because of the effective utilization of resources, significantly enhancing crop productivity compared with that of monocultured crops. The study was planed to assess the effect of various concentrations (00, 30, 60, 90 kg ha(-1)) of phosphorous on the biochemical composition of grains of Hordeum vulg...

A method is described that accurately and rapidly quantifies the free and total phosphorous content of a commercially available, purified, phytic acid preparation. This allows its use as a standard for phytic acid determinations in foods. The method involves a wet ashing step followed by phosphorous measurement with a 1-amino-2-naphthol-4-sulfonic acid-molybdate reagent in a microplate reader a...

Communities of plants are thought to grow until they reach some limiting factor such as light, space, available nutrients or other limitation. Very often this limiting factor is a nutrient limitation. Therefore, if plants are provided with the essential nutrient they lack, they will expand their community’s biomass. This phenomenon is well studied in temperate communities. In those ecosystems, ...

The experiment was made on a Lohmann Brown classic hybrid from 32 to 42 weeks of age. There were used feeds containing various levels of Ca, P or phytase: NC1 and NC2 were commercial recipes, NC3 was supplemented with Phyzyme (500 TFU/kg), NC4 was supplemented with monosodium phosphate and NC5 with dicalcium phosphate according to nutrient requirements (NRC 1998). There was tested the possibili...

Unintentional As/P exchange has a significant influence on InAs/InP nanostructures growth. In this paper we report on the As/P exchange reactions at different temperatures studied by in situ stress measurements and reflectance difference characterization. When arsenic atoms incorporate at the InP surface an asymmetric stress is built-up that is responsible for quantum wires formation. We obtain...
