Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEFFICACY OF BIO-FOLIAR SPRAY ON GROWTH AND BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS OF DIFFERENT MULBERRY VARIETIESDhiraj Kumar, R. Venkatesh KumarThe study was undertaken to improve the growth and biochemical contents in an instant available form through foliar combination of spirulina, soybean and vermiwash. 15, 30 and 45 µg mL-1 concentrations of bio-foliar were sprayed on five different mulberry varieties namely S-1, S-146, S-1635, BR-2 and AR-14 to know their performance on growth parameters and biochemical constituents. Results of the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 12 Feb 2014 · 7,393 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Tropical Peat Swamp Forest Clearing on Soil Carbon StorageAhmad Shukri Mat Nuri, Seca Gandaseca, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. MajidAbstract: Problem Statement: Forest clearing in Tropical Peat Swamp Forest (TPSF) will affect forest soil carbon storage. Thus this study is essential to determine whether the effect of clearing of forest does to the nature of soil forest concentrating on soil carbon storage. The objectives of this study were to analyze carbon storage values in logged and clear cut TPSF … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 15 Dec 2010 · 8,939 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Simulation Model Estimates of the Intercropping Advantage of an Immature-Rubber, Banana and Pineapple SystemMohamadu Boyie Jalloh, Wan Sulaiman Wan Harun, Jamal Talib et al.Problem statement: Intercropping has been shown to have many advantages but it is fallacious to conclude it is always a better cropping system. Little is known about a new double-hedgerow intercropping of rubber, banana and pineapple in relation to its effects on growth and yield of the component crops when compared to their monocrops. Simulation modeling offers a cheaper and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 9,003 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Converting Secondary Forest to Oil Palm Plantation on Peat Soil Carbon and Nitrogen and other Soil Chemical PropertiesMakilan Muniandy, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. Majid, Mohd Khanif YusopProblem statement: Peatlands are natural sequesters of carbon and nitrogen. Once they are disturbed the tendency to lose carbon and nitrogen to the environment is very high. This study investigated the effect of converting peat land forest into oil palm plantation on soil chemical properties with particular emphasis on carbon and nitrogen storage. Approach: Soil samples were collected randomly at … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,302 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Converting Secondary Forest on Tropical Peat Soil to Oil Palm Plantation on Carbon StorageCh’ng Huck Ywih, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. Majid, Mohamadu Boyie JallohProblem statement: Peat has been identified as one of the major groups of soils found in Malaysia. Sarawak as the largest state in Malaysia has the biggest reserve of peat-land. There are about 1.5 million ha of peat-land in Sarawak, which are relatively under developed. As is the case with any plant, oil palm trees do sequester carbon as they … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 9,039 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Hydroponic System for Purification of Anaerobically Treated Dairy Manure and Production of Wheat as a Nutritional Forage CropA. E. Ghaly, H.A. Farag, M. VermaA hydroponic system was developed and used for purification of an anaerobically treated dairy manure and production of forage crops. The effect of light duration, seeding rate and wastewater application rate on the crop yield and pollution potential reduction were studied. The results indicated that a wheat forage crop can be produced in 21 days from germination to harvest in … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 8,075 accessesView PDF Cite
