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 · 8,543 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioremediation of Petroleum Hydrocarbon-Polluted Mangrove Swamps Using Nutrient Formula Produced From Water Hyacint (Eicchornia crassipes)Frank Anayo Orji, Abiye Anthony Ibiene, Phillip O. OkerentugbaLaboratory-scale studies were carried out using a nutrient formula produced from Eicchornia crassipes plant to achieve bioremediation of crude oil impacted mangrove soil. In a 70 day study, the culturable heterotrophic bacterial population of the Eichhornia crassipes recipe increased from 6.26×105 Cfu/g to 2.69×107 Cfu/g. The control set-up had its total culturable bacterial count increased from 5.76×105 Cfu/g to 1.24×106 … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 28 Aug 2013 · 7,643 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Complete Micro Nutrient Fertilizer Application on Soybean Yield and Yield ComponentsFarimah Ghannadi Behrouzi, Sardar Germchi, Mehrdad YarniaIn last decades, sever population growth cause to enormous problems in developing countries. One of the effective factors in improving of quantity and quality of agricultural products is optimal application of chemical fertilizers. Hence, any research in this field can be an effective step to decrease production costs and increase productivity. In order to evaluation effects of complete micro nutrient … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 5 Oct 2012 · 8,127 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of the Maize (Zea mays)-Mucuna (Mucuna deeringianum Bort) AgroecosystemCarlos Ernesto Aguilar-Jimenez, Alfredo Tolon-Becerra, Xavier Lastra-BravoProblem statement: In Selva de Chiapas, Mexico, the traditional farming technique of slash-fell-burn used on hillside fields has caused severe soil deterioration. Consequently, indigenous farmers reacted by developing several agroecological practices that improve the physical, chemical and biological fertility of the soils. Standing out among these techniques is the use of Mucuna (Mucuna deeringianum Bort.) in rotation with maize (Zea … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 30 Mar 2012 · 7,987 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 · 8,599 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVertical Profile of C, N, P, K and Radionuclides in Soil Collected from Highland Tea Plantation AreasZaini Hamzah, Seh Datul Riduan, Ahmad SaatProblem statement: Cameron Highlands is a well known agricultural area in Peninsular Malaysia. Long term usage of fertilizer has caused accumulation of major elemental component in the soil. This accumulation will cause enrichment of the nutrient in the catchment located at downstream of the river through runoff. Approach: Two tea plantations on the upstream with hilly condition plantation were selected … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 12 · 11 Oct 2011 · 7,509 accessesView PDFCite
