Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractResponses of Rice to Green Manure and Nitrogen Fertilizer ApplicationMd Safiqul Islam, Nitish Kumar Paul, Md Robiul Alam et al.The effect of green manure and nitrogen fertilizer applications on rice performance and post-harvest nutrient status of the soil was studied at the Regional Wheat Research Station of Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), Shyampur, Rajshahi, Bangladesh. The experiment comprised two sets of treatments: (i) green manure application (Crotalaria jusncea, Sesbania aculeata, Sesbania rostrata,Vigna radiata, and Phaseolus mungo) and (ii) application … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 1 Sep 2015 · 7,973 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnaerobic Digestion of Pulping Wastewater Using Up-flow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) Reactor at Mesophilic ConditionRanda M. Osman, M. HamadThe waste considered for this study was the effluent of the pulping process produced during the manufacture of pulp and paper in the Rakta integrated pulp and paper mill in Alexandria. The pulping process in Rakta mill is conducted under pressure of 7-8 bar, 165°C using 10% NaOH based on straw weight for 2 h. The spent liquor after alkali … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 11 Aug 2015 · 6,927 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEFFECT OF WITH/WITHOUT AGITATIONOF AGRICULTURAL WASTE ON BIOGAS PRODUCTION FROM ANAEROBIC CO-DIGESTION-A SMALL SCALENaphon Keanoi, KanokornHussaro, Sombat TeekasapThe growing worldwide concerns over environment, health and monetary aspects have triggered a search for efficient and economic renewable sources of energy production. Agricultural sector holds the potential for development of one of the major source of renewable energy such as biogas. In this study, CSTR-small scale fermentation (200 L stainless steel) was studied to observe the effect of stirring … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 4 Mar 2014 · 7,526 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBIOGAS PRODUCTION FROM TOFU LIQUID WASTE ON TREATED AGRICULTURAL WASTESBudy Rahmat, Tedi Hartoyo, Yaya SunaryaThe Tofu Liquid Waste (TLW) as a pollution might be processed into biogas which was environmentally friendly and had potential to replace burning wood or oil. However, the waste could not directly be employed as the biogas substrate due to the high nitrogen content which was not suitable to the methanogen microorganism on the biogas digester and did not produce … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 1 Feb 2014 · 7,952 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIDENTIFICATION, MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION AND EVALUATION OF SOME RUMINAL BACTERIA THAT CATALYZE AND DEGRADE PLANT CELLULOSIC MATERIALSAhmed A. Mansour, T. S. El-Tayeb, N. E. El-BordenyIn the last few years there was a growing economic awareness about plant wastes and use it in compost production or in feeding of farm animals, some of these wastes are useless and cause a lot of problems in Egyptian environment. This study was designed to isolate, identify and evaluate some ruminal bacterial isolates to facilitate the in vitro degradation … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 10 Dec 2013 · 7,134 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Dietary Curcumin on Rumen Fermentation, Macronutrient Digestion and Nitrogen Balance in Beef CattleT. Vorlaphim, M. Phonvisay, J. Khotsakdee et al.Abstract: Problem statement: Previous studies have shown that curcumin has antibacterial activity. It was hypothesized that the feeding of curcumin to ruminants may disturb rumen function and affect macronutrient digestibility and nitrogen utilization. Approach: In an experiment with Latin-square design, beef cattle were fed rations consisting of urea-treated rice straw and concentrates without or with 0.1 or 0.2% added curcumin. … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 26 Jul 2011 · 9,152 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUse of a Mixture of Thermophilic Enzymes Produced by the Fungus Thermoascus aurantiacus to Enhance the Enzymatic Hydrolysis of the Sugarcane Bagasse CelluloseJ. R. Monte, W. Carvalho, A. M. F. MilagresProblem statement: The production of hydrolytic enzymes by T. aurantiacus has been performed under solid-state fermentations using lignocellulosic materials. The influences of the inoculum size and of the fermentation medium on the production of hemicellulases and cellulases were studied. Filtrates from the cultures were used to hydrolyze a pulp of sugarcane bagasse and the produced enzymes were shown to be … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 13 Dec 2010 · 9,212 accessesView PDFCite
