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 · 7,673 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRegeneration of Lyes for Cleaning-In-Place (CIP) Processes in Dairies: Comparison of Recycled Potash and Soda Solutions Cleaning PropertiesMarie Furic, Anne Elain, Walid Blel, Olivier SireThe regeneration of lyes for their integration in the dairy CIP was investigated applying an original process combining adsorption/coagulation and flocculation operations. Solutions of potassium hydroxide (KOH) and caustic soda (NaOH) soiled with 1% (v/v) of whole milk were submitted up to twenty successive regeneration cycles. The multiple recycling of the regenerated solutions was found to modify their physicochemical characteristics … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 5 · 6 Jul 2015 · 6,626 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMonitoring Land Use and Land Cover Effects on Water Quality in Cheung Ek Lake using ASTER ImagesNara Im, Kensuke Kawamura, Endan Suwandana, Yuji SakunoCheung Ek Lake is the biggest natural treatment plant for nearly 80% of wastewater and storm-water from Phnom Penh city. Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) changes of the lake and its catchment area could deteriorate capacity of the lake in purifying wastewater and affect to its water quality. The study aims to assess the relationship between LULC changes and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 3 Apr 2015 · 8,017 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractASSESSMENT OF OIL PALM PLANTATION AND TROPICAL PEAT SWAMP FOREST WATER QUALITY BY MULTIVARIATE STATISTICAL ANALYSISSeca Gandaseca, Noraini Rosli, Mohammad Shawkat Hossain, Chandra Imam AriantoThis study reports the spatio-temporal changes in river and canal water quality of peat swamp forest and oil palm plantation sites of Sarawak, Malaysia. To investigate temporal changes, 192 water samples were collected at four stations of BatangIgan, an oil palm plantation site of Sarawak, during July-November in 2009 and April-July in 2010. Nine water quality parameters including Electrical Conductivity … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 3 Jul 2014 · 8,224 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEVALUATION OF N ADDITIVES FOR IMPROVING N USE EFFICIENCY OF SURFACE APPLIED UREA TO DRY SEEDED AND PERMANENTLY FLOODED RICEDavid D. Dunn, Pawel WiatrakThere are several potential Nitrogen (N) loss mechanisms in a dry seeded and delayed flood system rice (Oryza Satvia L.) production system including urea volatilization and denitrification. The scope and magnitude of these potential losses are largely weather dependent. Two additives (stabilizers), Agrotain and Nutrisphere-N, have been offered to rice producers for controlling these potential losses. This study compared these … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 21 Jun 2014 · 6,693 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIMPROVING PHOSPHORUS NUTRITION OF COTTONWalter B. Gordon, Larry Murphy, Pawel WiatrakCrop recovery of applied Phosphorus (P) fertilizer can be low, especially during season of low soil temperature, which decreases plant root growth and nutrient uptake. The H2PO4- or HPO4-2 anions readily react with soil cations such as Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), iron (Fe) and Aluminum (Al) to produce various phosphate compounds of very limited water solubility. Specialty Fertilizer Products (SFP), … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 10 May 2014 · 7,112 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEFFECTS STUDY OF NIGELLA SATIVA, ITS OIL AND THEIR COMBINATION WITH VITAMIN E ON OXIDATIVE STRESS IN RATSAmr A. RezqAntioxidants or free radical scavengers are very important in protecting the living cells against any damage induced by free radicals. The effects of Nigella Sativa Extract (NSE), Nigella Sativa Oil (NSO) and Vitamin E (Vit. E) and the combination of NSE or NSO with Vit. E on potassium bromate (KBrO3)-induced oxidative stress in male rats were investigated. Forty nine Sprague … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 7 · 23 Apr 2014 · 7,010 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATIONOF ORGANIC FUNCTIONALIZED MESOPOROUS SILICA AND EVALUATE THEIR ADSORPTIVE BEHAVIOR FOR REMOVAL OF METHYLENE BLUE FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTIONSameer H. Kareem, Inaam H. Ali, M. G. JalhoomThree Mesoporous Silica (MPS) with different functional groups were prepared by one-step synthesis based on the simultaneous hydrolysis and condensation of tetraethoxy silane with organo-silane in the presence of template surfactant Polydimethylsiloxane-Polyethyleneoxide (PDMS-PEO). The prepared materials were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and nitrogen adsorption-desorption experiments. The results indicate that the preparation of methyl and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2014 · 7,291 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractINFLUENCE OF INCUBATION PERIOD, TEMPERATURE AND DIFFERENT PHOSPHATE LEVELS ON PHOSPHATE ADSORPTION IN SOILA. Rajput, Q. A. Panhwar, U. A. Naher et al.Phosphorus (P) is the most important element after nitrogen but P sorption properties are poorly documented in many soils. In this study, P sorption capacity in relation to incubation period and temperature under various P levels were determined for two different soil series (Rustam and Miani). Phosphorus was added at 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500 and 1000 µg … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 13 Feb 2014 · 8,294 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIN-SEASON ASSESSMENT OF WHEAT CROP HEALTH USING VEGETATION INDICES BASED ON GROUND MEASURED HYPER SPECTRAL DATAKhalid Ali Al-Gaadi, Virupakshagouda Patil, ElKamil Tola et al.An experiment on a 50 ha center pivot field was conducted to determine the Vegetation Indices (VI’s) that were helpful in assessing the in-season performance of wheat crop treated with graded levels of irrigation water and fertilizers.
