This research employed a survey of 300 … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 21 Mar 2017 · 9,003 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUtilization of Sewage Sludge in Agricultural Soil as Fertilizer in the Republic of Benin (West Africa): What are the Risks of Heavy Metals Contamination and Spreading?Fidèle Suanon, Lyde A.S. Tomètin, Biaou Dimon et al.Biosolids are the treated organic residuals, also known as sewage sludge, which are generated from domestic wastewater treatment plants. It is an organic matter and nutrients [phosphorous (P) and nitrogen (N)]-rich material. Due to these properties, it is has been reported to be a suitable fertilizer or soil amendment which can valuably replace synthesized NPK. Unfortunately, this matter is heavily … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 6 Jan 2016 · 14,496 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Endophytic Treatments on Plant Growth Performance and Disease Incidences in Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merril) Cultivar JS-335 against Challenge Inoculation with R. solaniJitendra Dalal, Nikhilesh KulkarniEndophytes could be efficient biological control agent in sustainable crop production and offer unique opportunity for crop protection and biological control. Present study was carried out to investigate the effects of indigenous endophytic microorganisms Pseudomonas sp., Bacillus sp., Burkholderia sp. Streptomyces sp., Actinoplanes sp., Alternaria sp. and Fusarium sp. on plant growth and disease control against challenge inoculation with Rhizoctonia … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 13 Jul 2015 · 7,669 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Mixed Organic and Inorganic Fertilizers Application on Soil Properties and the Growth of Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) Cultivated on Bris SoilsMohd Hadi Akbar Basri, Arifin Abdu, Shamshuddin Jusop et al.The demand for kenaf in the world increases rapidly by the years. Cultivation of the crop in Malaysia is a challenging task, especially when kenaf is grown on sandy soils with low fertility, such as the BRIS Soils (Beach Ridges Interspersed with Swales). A pot study was conducted in a glasshouse at Universiti Putra Malaysia to evaluate the potential of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 12 · 28 Oct 2013 · 8,772 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntagonistic Effects of Fertilizer on Photochemical Efficiency of Hibiscus cannabinus L. (Kenaf) Planted on Beach Ridges Interspersed with Swales SoilMohd-Hazimy Yusoff, Hazandy Abdul-Hamid, Arifin Abdu et al.Problem statement: Hibiscus cannabinus L. or Kenaf is a highly productive, warmseasonal C3 annual crop and is one of the potential candidates to substitute kenaf fiber as raw product for pulp and paper production. It survives well on less fertile soils including those of Beach Ridges Interspersed with Swales (BRIS) soil. Approach: The objective of this study was to determine … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 19 Sep 2011 · 8,511 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Municipal Solid Waste Compost on the Growth and Production of Vegetable CropsA.E. Ghaly, F.N. AlkoaikProblem statement: MSW has traditionally been dealt with thorough the practice of land filling and incineration. However, deleterious environmental impacts have promoted municipalities in Canada to recycle non-putrescible wastes and compost the putrescible ones. This study aimed at evaluating the effect of MSW compost on the growth and production of three vegetable crops (potatoes, corn and squash). Approach: Each crop … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,798 accessesView PDFCite

SEEDLINGSFabien Fonguimgo Tengoua, Mohamed M. Hanafi, A. S. Idris et al.Basal stem rot caused by Ganoderma boninense constitutes a serious threat to oil palm industry in Southeast Asia, especially in Malaysia and Indonesia and in Papua New Guinea and Pacific Islands. It is also expanding in some oil palm growing countries in Latin America and Africa and will soon become a worldwide concern to oil palm cultivation. To date, none … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 10 · 5 Dec 2014 · 8,014 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEssential Role of PKCδ in Apoptosis Induction of Mouse ThymocytesC. Lutz-Nicoladoni, T. Letschka, M. Leitges et al.The family of protein kinases C (PKCs) has been implicated in signal transmission leading to apoptosis induction and/or survival. These effects are cell type and tissue dependent. Numerous studies employing phorbol ester, a pleiotropic PKC activator, strongly implicated PKC in apoptosis induction of thymocytes. However, phorbol esters activate both, the conventional PKCs (PKCα, β, γ) as well as the novel … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,135 accessesView PDFCite
