to evaluate the relationships between soil inorganic phosphorus p (pi) fractions, the soil p test and plant parameters such as plant p uptake, dry matter yield, tissue p concentra-tion and relative yield, glasshouse experiments and chemical analyses were conducted on 13 calcareous soils from six agricultural and seven adjacent bushland (virgin soil) sites. four rates of p (0, 15, 30, 60 mg/kg s...

in a greenhouse experiment, changes in inorganic phosphorus fractions as well as their availability in the rhizosphere of rice (oryza sativa c.v. khazar) crop, following an application of 40 mg p (as monocalcium phosphate per kg of soil) were investigated in paddy soils north of iran. the study was performed as a 14×2 factorial in a completely randomized design of two factors namely: soil at 14...

Bog iron ores are widespread in Polish wetland soils used as meadows or pastures. They are suspected to contain high concentrations of heavy metals, which are precipitated together with Fe along a redox gradient. Therefore, soils with bog iron ore might be important sources for a heavy metal transfer from meadow plants into the food chain. However, this transfer depends on the different binding...

Phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) are two major nutrients for agricultural productivity sustainability. The spatial variability maps of soil phosphorus content in surfacesoils collected through grid sampling technique were developed using geo-spatial technology Indian Council Agricultural Research-Indian Research Institute (ICAR-IARI) farm, New Delhi, India. Soil available P (NaHCO3-P) P-fractio...

abstract the objectives of this research was to evaluate the rhizospheric effects of wheat (triticum aestivum l.) on the status of various inorganic p fractions and total organic p in 10 calcareous soils amended with 1% (w/w) municipal sewage sludge from the refinery of shahrekord city under rhizobox conditions. thus, wheat plant was planted in completely randomized design with three replicatio...

iron oxide is an important biological agent that has a key role in medical processes; however, the mechanism whereby it provides iron for human and animal cells and its biological uses remains unclear. we aimed to evaluate the effects of oral iron oxide on serum iron status and compare the results with those of iron sulfate as a reference salt. fifteen adult rabbits were divided into 3 groups o...

introduction: acute renal failure is a common consequence of sepisis due to concurrent renal ischaemia. the role of nitric oxide (no) in endotoxaemia and in ischaemic injury in the kidney is not well defined. material and methods: in this study we have used an animal model of sepsis induced by injection of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (lps) in the rat and measured renal nitric oxide by x-band e...
