Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAssociation of Escherichia coli with the Prevalence of Flies PopulationHassan Flayiah Hassan, Marryam AlkafagiMass releases of house fly Musca domestica (L) and stable fly Stomoxys calcitrans (L). Produced by manure piles accumulated nearby horse stables and dairy farm village in Abu-Graib provide continuous threat to inhabitants west of Baghdad. Timing of fly’s mass release in association with the presence of Escherichia coli in manure piles was examined at these locations. Experimental result indicated … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 11 Sep 2013 · 7,204 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsGreenhouse Gas Emissions: Quantifying Methane Emissions from LivestockRafiu O. Yusuf, Zainura Z. Noor, Ahmad H. Abba et al.Problem statement: The rearing of animals for domestic consumption and export invariably lead to the production of methane as a product of digestion. This study investigated the emission of methane from Malaysian livestock between 1980 and 2008. Approach: Seven categories of animals identified were camel, buffalo, sheep, goats, horse, pigs and poultry. The estimation of methane was based on the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2012 · 9,543 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffect of Diurnally Cyclic Temperature on the Performance of a Continuous Mix Anaerobic DigesterAbdel E. Ghaly, Mariam T. Al HattabProblem statement: Concentrated livestock production is a major contributor to environmental problems through the production of large quantity of husks on relatively small land area. Anaerobic digestion represents a valuable means of cover by these husks into methane while reducing manure pollution problems. Methodology: An experimental apparatus, including data acquisition and control system, was developed and used to investigate the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 19 Jan 2012 · 9,230 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAn Innovative Farm Scale Biogas/Composting Facility for a Sustainable Medium Size Dairy FarmA.E. Ghaly, M. Al HattabApproach: The amount of energy related costs as a portion of the total farm operating cost can be as high as 29% and the continuing increase of the real cost of energy related farm input has been one of the major factors impacting the cost of agricultural production. However, agricultural has the potential of replacing some of the purchased energy … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 5 Jan 2012 · 9,324 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsBiodegradation and Recycling of Urban Solid WasteS. P. Gautam, P. S. Bundela, A. K. Pandey et al.Problem statement: Rapid urbanization and population growth are largely responsible for very high increasing rate of solid waste in the urban areas, its proper management and recycling is major problems of Municipal Corporation. The proposed study attempted to proper management, physicochemical analysis of Urban Solid Waste (USW) and its conversion to enriched compost by ecofriendly process. Approach: For this study, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2009 · 7,107 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsInvestigating the Effect of Three Nitrate Fertilizers on Nitrate Leaching under the Root Zone in Clay Loam SoilThamer Ahmed Mohammed, M. Nooshin, Megat Johari Megat Mohd. Noor, A. LiaghatProblem statements: Nitrogen fertilizer is recognized as an important factor in crop’s yield level, however more application of N fertilizers in the soil have some adverse effects on environment and especially on groundwater contamination. Perception and recognition the factors influencing nitrate transport through soil profile is helpful for fertilizer management to minimize adverse impacts on environment and nitrate leaching below … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,065 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDisposal of Agro-Industrials Wastes as Soil AmendmentsAli Mekki, Fatma Arous, Fathi Aloui, Sami SayadiWe investigated the fertilizing potential of three agro-industrial wastes (Compost (C), Dehydrated Manures (DM) and Digestate (D)) on soil properties, on seeds germination and the plants growth. Results showed that the addition of wastes modified several soil properties as pH, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Water Retention Capacity (WRC) and Soil Organic Matter (SOM). Hence, SOM increase from 1.5% in unamended soil … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 11 Jan 2014 · 7,021 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimum Fertilization Technology to Improve Crop Productivity of Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni)Mohammad Cholid, Sesanti Basuki, Budi Hariyono et al.Stevia leaves have the potential to be developed as a natural sweetener, a companion to cane sugar, especially for those who need low-calorie intake. Increasing the productivity of stevia plants is approached by increasing plant biomass accumulation through balanced nitrogen fertilization. This research aims to obtain optimal nitrogen fertilization in the cultivation of stevia plants in which the nitrogen derived … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 1 · 22 Nov 2024 · 5,116 accessesView PDFCite
