Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Ambient Gasess on Respiration of Soil Supporting Four Crops in Central Saudi ArabiaAkram Ali, Ahmad Alfarhan, Ibrahim Aldjain, Nagat BokhariThis study was conducted at four localities (Maseef, Naseem, Oleya and Industrial City) in Riyadh city, KSA to determine the effect of increased tropospheric gases on responses of in situ soil respiration (Rs) of wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Giza 68), broad bean (Vicia faba L. cv. Lara), kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Giza 3) and pea (Pisum sativum … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,471 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Bruchid Beetles (Burchidius Arabicus Decelle) Infestation on the Germination of Acacia tortilis (Forssk.) Hayne) SeedsM. Al Jabr AhmedThe role of bruchid beetle infestation on seed germination of Acacia tortilis (Forssk.) Hayne) Mimosaceae under different incubation temperatures and degrees of scarification was studied under controlled conditions. Results indicate that seed germination was highest (96%) in scarified seeds at 25-35°C incubation temperature, whereas, it was only 28% in intact seeds. Seeds infected by bruchid beetles with one or two … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,300 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUse of Barley for the Purification of Aquaculture Wastewater in a Hydroponics SystemA.M. Snow, A.E. GhalyBarley was examined for its ability to remove nutrients from aquaculture wastewater. The effects of seed sterilization using ethanol and bleach and seed density on germination and plant growth were investigated. Surface sterilization of barley seeds had a negative impact on germination. Increasing the ethanol concentration and/or the bleach concentration reduced the germination percentage. Barley seeds were first germinated in … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2008 · 7,489 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNew Role of Sulfuric Acid In Production of Multicomponent Fertilizers From Renewable SourcesHelena Górecka, Henryk Górecki, Katarzyna Chojnacka et al.The paper discusses the possibility of using renewable sources: slaughter wastes and wood ashes in the production of NPK fertilizers. The content of macronutrients, micronutrients and toxic elements in these materials was reported. In the present work, poultry feathers were used as fertilizer source of nitrogen, animal bones as the source of phosphorus and wood ash as the source of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 8,378 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhytoremediation of Anaerobic Digester Effluent for Water Purification and Production of Animal FeedA. E. Ghaly, H.A. FaragThe application of phytoremediation for purification of an anaerobically treated dairy manure and production of forage crops was investigated. Four crops (two cereals and two grasses) were examined for their ability to grow hydroponically and to remove pollutants (nutrients) from dairy wastewater. The preliminary experiments showed that timothygrass and orchardgrass did not perform well as aquatic plants. Only 24 and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 8,205 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAllelopathic Potentialities of Gliricidia sepium and Acacia auriculiformis on the Germination and Seedling Vigour of Maize (Zea mays L.)M. B. OyunDecline in crop yield in cropping and agroforestry system in recent years has been attributed to allelopathic effects. Plants may favourably or adversely affect other plants through allelochemicals, which may be released directly or indirectly from live or dead plants. The objective of this study was to examine and quantify the nature of interference of leaf leachates of Gliricidia sepium … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 9,802 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordThe Influence of Mineral Fertilizers on the Chemical Composition of Verdurous Masses of Forder CropsNurali S. Nurgaliyev, Serik Z. Bekzhanov, Ibadulla A. Tautenov et al.This article presents the results of sorghum and pearl millet studies conducted in order to develop the technology of their cultivation as a new forage crops for livestock in arid areas of Kazakhstan. The article presents data on the effect of seeding rates and term of sowing on seeds germination and survival of plants and a crop of verdurous masses … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2015 · 7,493 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordRecovery and Germination of Grass Seeds Ingested by CattleFerhat GökbulakSeeds of bluebunch wheatgrass [Psuedoroegneria spicata (Pursh) A. Love] and Sandberg bluegrass (Poa secunda Presl.) were fed to Holstein heifers in different amounts to investigate the effects of seed feeding level and seed size on the recovery and germinability of passed seed. Animals were fed 60,000, 30,000,15,000, and 7,500 seeds of each species. Passed seeds were recovered from dungcollected daily … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,756 accessesView PDFCite
