Aim: Many countries import potassic fertilizers due to dearth of K-mineral deposits. Therefore processes to obtain K-nutrient sources from sea bittern were developed by our Institute. The present investigation evaluated the fertilizer potential of three different sea bittern-derived (SBD) potassium forms developed viz., potassium schoenite, potassium nitrate and potassium ammonium sulfate on ma...

KUGAR Pamungkas berlokasi di Desa Pinggir Papas Kecamatan Kalianget Kabupaten Sumenep merupakan kelompok ekonomi produktif, yang dirintis sejak tahun 2011. Usaha mitra sebagai petambak garam menghasilkan krosok dijual pada pengepul. Isu pengabdian yaitu pemanfaatan limbah hasil produksi menjadi produk bernilai. Focus (bittern). Tujuannya untuk memberikan nilai tambah bittern sehingga bernilai j...

A decrease in wetland habitats throughout North America has caused a decline in populations of marsh birds. The objective of this study was to estimate population densities and abundances of secretive marsh birds in Iowa. Call-broadcast surveys were conducted in conjunction with distance sampling for eight species of marsh birds at wetlands in three regions of Iowa during 2009 and 2010. Regions...

ASSTRACT.--Recently, we acquired DNA of two rare species of heron, the Neotropical Zigzag Heron (Zebrilus undulatus) and the African White-crested Bittern (Tigriornis leucolophus). To estimate their phylogenetic relationships to other herons, we compared these species with representatives of the major heron clades using DNA-DNA hybridization. Even though the Zigzag Heron resembles a tiger-heron...

Visceral urate deposition (visceral gout) is a common finding during post-mortem examination of poultry. Rare cases of visceral gout may occur in wild birds. A rare case of visceral urate deposition in a little bittern (Ixobrychus minutus) is reported here. In May 2013, carcass of a little bittern was submitted for necropsy to the Clinic of Poultry Diseases (Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Razi...

Populations of marsh-birds are believed to be declining throughout North America in response to a decrease in wetland habitats. As a result, several species of marshbirds are of heightened conservation status at the local and regional levels and the need to monitor populations of these birds is critical to effective conservation and management. Our objective was to estimate population densities...

Preparation of superfine magnesium hydroxide with the bittern and ammonia was studied. The properties of the products were analyzed by laser granularity, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, the limiting oxygen index and the wet t ing angle measurements . The results show that the mean particle size of the magnesium hydroxide is about 230 nm with a platelet shape and the specific su...

Potential natural resources of lithium in Indonesia from brine water and bittern generally have low high magnesium levels, which need to be separated before further extraction. This research investigates the separation process using a sodium silicate solution. The experimental results showed that precipitation efficiency was better than bittern. A selectivity ratio (Mg/Li) below 1 obtained 0.59...
