Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Leaf Total Nitrogen Content for Nitrogen Management in a Malaysian Paddy Field by Using Soil Plant Analysis Development Chlorophyll MeterA. Gholizadeh, M. S. M. Amin, A. R. Anuar, W. AimrunProblem statement: Laboratory plant testing is usually time-consuming and high-costing. Hence, plant nutrient variability must be measured rapidly and the information made known to the farmers before the new season starts. Site-specific crop management, well-established in some developed countries, is now being considered in other places such as Malaysia. Approach: The application of site-specific management principles and techniques to diverse … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 9,238 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDistribution of β-Glucosidase Activity within Aggregates of a Soil Amended with Organic FertilizersSaeid Hojati, Farshid NourbakhshProblem statement: Distribution pattern of enzyme activities in soil aggregate size classes as affected by organic amendments is not well understood. Approach: A study was conducted to evaluate the effects of repeated annual application of Cow Manure (CM), Sewage Sludge (SS) and Municipal Solid Waste Compost (MSW) on the distribution of β-Glucosidase (βG) activity within aggregates of a soil. Soil … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 8,183 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnhancing the Urea-N Use Efficiency in Maize (Zea mays) Cultivation on Acid Soils using Urea Amended with Zeolite and TSPOsumanu Haruna Ahmed, Aminuddin Hussin, Husni Mohd Hanif Ahmad et al.Problem Statement: Ammonia loss significantly reduces urea-N use efficiency in crop production. Efforts to reduce ammonia loss are laboratory oriented, as such limited in reflecting actual field conditions. This paper reports the effects of urea amended with triple superphosphate (TSP) and zeolite (Clinoptilolite) on soil pH, soil nitrate, soil exchangeable ammonium, dry matter production, N uptake, fresh cob production and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 8,874 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy of Benthic Fauna in the Discharge Lagoon of a Shrimp Farm With Special Emphasis on the PolychaetesLuis Rafael Martínez Córdova, Luis Fernando Enríquez OcañaA study of benthic fauna, with special emphasis on polychaetes, was made in the discharge lagoon of an experimental shrimp farm and a pond of the farm. The discharge lagoon was divided into three sections and stocked with shrimp at low density (6 Pl/m2). Neither formulated feed nor fertilization was used in these sections. The control pond was stocked with … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,680 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Nitrogen and Potassium Uptake and Efficiency of Two Rice Varieties Cultivated on an Acid SoilShajarutulwardah Mohd Yusob, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Wan Asrina Wan Yahaya, Nik Muhamad Ab. MajidA pot study was carried with the following objectives: (i) To investigate N and K uptake of MR 220 and ARC 2 rice varieties grown on Bekenu series (Tipik Tualemkuts), and (ii) To investigate N and K use efficiency of MR 220 and ARC 2 grown on Bekenu series. Treatments evaluated were: (i) MR 220 and ARC 2 under fertilized … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,846 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Total Dissolved Solids on Aquatic Organisms: A Review of Literature and Recommendation for Salmonid SpeciesPhyllis K. Weber-Scannell, Lawrence K. DuffyTotal dissolves solids (TDS) are naturally present in water or are the result of mining or some industrial treatment of water. TDS contain minerals and organic molecules that provide benefits such as nutrients or contaminants such as toxic metals and organic pollutants. Current regulations require the periodic monitoring of TDS, which is a measurement of inorganic salts, organic matter and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2007 · 23,405 accessesView PDFCite
