Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Effluent from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka Wastewater Treatment Plant for Irrigation PurposesEmmanuel Amagu Echiegu, Ogochukwu Ruth Eya, Samson Nnaemeka Ugwu, Boniface UgwuishiwuThis study was carried out to determine the suitability of effluents from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) sewage treatment facility for irrigation purposes. The result shows that, from the point of view of ECw, SAR, solids, organic matter content, ion toxicity and nutrients (except Phosphate), the UNN wastewater treatment plant effluent can be safely used for irrigation, especially under … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 21 Apr 2016 · 8,096 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQuality Herbage Production of Dwarf Napiergrass with Italian Ryegrass Cropping under Digested Effluent Application in Southern Kyushu, JapanHadijah Hasyim, Yasuyuki Ishii, Ahmad Wadi, Sachiko IdotaDigested effluent produced by a biogas-plant contains essential plant nutrients to solve the treated and disposal problems of livestock manure. Dwarf variety of late-heading type (dwarf) napiergrass as a perennial summer crop and intercropping of over-sown Italian ryegrass as an annual winter crop were applied to 3 levels of digested effluent in southern Kyushu from 2007 to 2009. Digested effluent … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 25 Feb 2016 · 7,555 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProspects of Using Wastewater as a Resource-Nutrient Recovery and Energy GenerationMusfique Ahmed, Chowdhury Kamrul Hasan, Hafizur Rahman et al.It is well understood that both untreated and partially treated wastewater comprise substantial amount of resources, which can be recovered and utilized for different purposes. Since Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) is energy intensive and expensive, substantiating the WWTPs with Resource Recover Technologies (RRTs) will not only save a considerable amount of energy but also make the environment cleaner and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 25 Jun 2015 · 8,186 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractASSESSMENT OF ORGANIC WASTE MANAGEMENT METHODS THROUGH ENERGY BALANCEAntonio Comparetti, Pierluigi Febo, Carlo Greco et al.In Italy, the Organic Fraction of Municipal Solid Waste (OFMSW) is nowadays landfilled or processed through aerobic composting. The Italian towns currently support a high cost for OFMSW disposal and cause a high environmental impact, because of long distances travelled from towns to a few available landfills and fewer treatment places, as well as the used waste management methods. An … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2014 · 7,215 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfuence of Seed Coating with Micronutrients on Growth and Yield of Winter Wheat in Southeastern Coastal PlainsPawel WiatrakPolymer seed coating with micronutrients may provide important nutrients during plant growth and improve yields. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of three seed application rates (265, 395 and 530 mL 100 kg seeds-1) of polymer based mixture of Copper (Cu), Manganese (Mn) and Zinc (Zn) micronutrients on dryland winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) near Blackville, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 21 Sep 2013 · 8,545 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSerpentine Soils, Adverse Habitat for PlantsMahsa Tashakor, Wan Zuhairi Wan Yaacob, Hamzah MohamadThe unpleasant effect of serpentine soil on plant life has been a topic of many studies for several decades. Infertility and flora selectivity nature of serpentine soils are the features, which made them of interest throughout the world. This research includes a geochemical study on two Malaysian serpentine massifs to introduce their harmful factors concerning vegetation. X-ray fluorescence results on … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 26 Feb 2013 · 7,764 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAgro-Process Intensification through Synthetic Rhizosphere Media for Nitrogen Fixation and Yield Enhancement in PlantsG. Akay, D. R. BurkeProblem statement: In order to combat global warming and the emerging Food, Energy and Water shortages (FEWs), several approaches have been adopted, including genetic engineering and farming practices. Biomass based energy technology will further stress food and water resources and hence novel holistic approaches to FEWs should be designed. Approach: A novel technique (Agro-Process Intensification, A-PI) which simultaneously addresses FEWs … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 15 Mar 2012 · 8,603 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBasal Salt Requirements Differ According to Culture Stage and Cultivar in Date Palm Somatic EmbryogenesisJameel M. Al-KhayriProblem statement: Various media formulations differing in basal salt composition are arbitrary selected to provide essential nutrients for plant in vitro cultures. Evidence suggests that in vitro response to various media formulations varies among genotypes and depends on the culture stage. This study examined the efficacy of five basal salt formulations on callus growth and somatic embryogenesis in date palm … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 27 May 2011 · 10,162 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 · 8,799 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Organic Based N Fertilizer on Dry Matter (Zea mays L.), Ammonium and Nitrate Recovery in an Acid Soil of Sarawak, MalaysiaSusilawati Kasim, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. Majid et al.Problem statement: Exchangeable ammonium (NH4+) could be recovered by humic and fulvic acids from humic substances. The ability of these acids in fixing or retaining NH4+ has been demonstrated in many findings and reports. Both acids could affect the plant growth, nutrients uptake by enhancing photosynthesis rate and root growth among others. Thus, in this study, the effect of both … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 8,252 accessesView PDFCite
