Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMethods of Utilizing Tropical Peat Land for Housing SchemeYouventharan Duraisamy, Bujang B.K. Huat, Azlan A. AzizThis paper discusses some of the methods and recent technologies in utilizing cheap marginal land such as tropical peat for housing scheme. Buildings on peat are usually suspended on piles, but ground around it may still settle. Therefore a suitable method of construction should be tackle to overcome serious problem such as localized sinking and slip failure, massive primary and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,674 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCompressibility Behavior of Tropical Peat Reinforced with Cement ColumnsYouventharan Duraisamy, Bujang B.K. Huat, Azlan A. AzizThis paper presents the compressibility of tropical peat reinforced with cylindrical cement columns. When a cement column is installed vertically in peat, its compressibility is reduced because of the hardened skeleton matrix formed by cement particles bonding with adjacent soil particles in the presence of pore water. The effects of the cement column diameter on the compressibility have been investigated … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2007 · 7,435 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Foliar Bio-Based Fertilization on Spring Wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.) in Reconciling Productivity and Alleviation of Environmental Concerns Under Semi-Arid ConditionsGani Stybayev, Raushan Ramazanova, Kelvin Harrison Diri et al.A two-year randomized field trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of foliar bio-based fertilization on the growth, productivity, grain quality, and soil health of spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under semi-arid conditions in Northern Kazakhstan. Four treatments were compared: T0 (100 kg Ammophos, mineral fertilizer control), T1 (50 kg N14P23 + biotreatment), T2 (25 kg N14P23 + biotreatment), and … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 1 · 3 Apr 2026 · 1,534 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChanges in the Composition and Diversity of Pasture Grass Due to the Influence of Grazing in the Steppe Zone of Northern KazakhstanAliya Baitelenova, Balzhan Akhylbekova, Meisam Zargar et al.Overgrazing poses a serious threat to the sustainability of steppe pasturelands in Northern Kazakhstan, where intensifying livestock pressure drives significant changes in vegetation composition, species diversity, and soil fertility. This study investigated the effects of grazing intensity on pasture vegetation and chestnut soil properties in the Zhaksyn district of the Akmola region. Field surveys were conducted in July-August 2024 using … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2026 · 1,344 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessing the Usability of IoT-Based Smart Farming for Sustainable Organic AgricultureArisaphat Suttidee, Pankom Sriboonlue, Sompoch Tongnamtiang, Varitha LakkhamThis study evaluates the usability of an IoT-based smart farming system developed to support organic agriculture in Thailand. Many small-scale farmers still spend considerable time manually monitoring soil conditions and managing irrigation, often without access to practical technology. This slows farm operations and makes efficient water use more difficult. To address these challenges, the system was designed with wireless soil-moisture … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 10 · 7 Dec 2025 · 3,403 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of NPK Fertilizer Content Derived from Wild Plant DiversityKhosi'in, Nur Hidayat, Zulfikri Muhammad, Endang HaryantoThis research has the background of understanding the diversity of wild plants that can produce organic NPK fertilizer that can be utilized by the community. The purpose of this research is to produce NPK fertilizer from wild plants and to determine the nitrogen, phosphate, and potassium content in the organic fertilizer derived from wild plants. The type of this research … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 2 · 20 Jun 2025 · 4,229 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImportance of Soil and Mineral Characteristics in Supporting Sustainable AgricultureIda Suryani, Marliana Sjuaib Palad, Nur Fitriani et al.Soil consists of four main components: Minerals, organic matter, air, and water, which are arranged in the space to form the soil body. Inorganic minerals in the soil come from rock fragments and other primary minerals. Sustainable soil fertility is supported by the nutrient content contained in the minerals. The research objectives were: 1) to observe the physical and chemical … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 2 · 25 Mar 2025 · 5,945 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Seabuckthorn Pomace Fermentation Fertilizer Coupled with Bacillus sp. T28 on Soil Properties and Chinese Cabbage GrowthDan Wu, Huang Mengyun, Zhang QichunTo study the effect of a microbial compound fertilizer on the soil properties and growth of Chinese cabbage, providing a basis for its application in the cultivation and production of Chinese cabbage. The seabuckthorn pomace fertilizer (JS) was prepared by fermentation and further, it was coupled with Bacillus sp. T28 (JSB). Four treatment experiments in pots were established, including the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 13 Dec 2024 · 5,349 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
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy on the Synergistic Treatment of Soil Fumigation and Biocontrol Bacteria for the Prevention and Control of Root-Knot Nematodes in Facility SoilLijin Qin, Yingmin Hu et al.Years of continuous cropping have led to the inability to cure root-knot nematode disease. In this study, soil fumigation was used before tomato planting to study the decline rate and the effect of root-knot nematode population control after soil fumigation. During the experiment, "Wofengkang" organic sulfur soil fumigant was used. A constant temperature drying oven was used to artificially simulate … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 4 · 26 Sep 2024 · 4,843 accessesView PDFCite
