Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Organic Based N Fertilizer on Dry Matter (Zea mays L.), Ammonium and Nitrate Recovery in an Acid Soil of Sarawak, MalaysiaSusilawati Kasim, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. Majid et al.Problem statement: Exchangeable ammonium (NH4+) could be recovered by humic and fulvic acids from humic substances. The ability of these acids in fixing or retaining NH4+ has been demonstrated in many findings and reports. Both acids could affect the plant growth, nutrients uptake by enhancing photosynthesis rate and root growth among others. Thus, in this study, the effect of both … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 8,252 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFarmers' Use of Integrated Soil Fertility and Nutrient Management Practices for Sustainable Crop Production: A Field-level Study in BangladeshM. Golam Farouque, Hiroyuki TekeyaProblem statement: The most pressing problem for Bangladesh agriculture is the current state of gradual decreasing of soil fertility, stagnating crop yields and declining productivity in a range of food crops. According to crop production scientists, Integrated Soil Fertility (ISF) and Nutrient Management (NM) is an advanced approach that can serve as a remedy to improve crop yields and to … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,815 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractResidual Influence of Early Season Crop Fertilization and Cropping System on Growth and Yield of CassavaE. A. Makinde, O. T. AyoolaProblem Statement: In assessing fertilizer effects to sustain an intensive cropping system, the residual effects of fertilizer applied to preceding maize on the growth and yield of cassava and the effects of intercropping with soybean were studied in field experiments at Ibadan, Nigeria. Approach: Maize, established in April was fertilized using either organic manure or inorganic fertilizer or a mixture … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,971 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSelf-Organizing Map and Multi-Layer Perceptron Neural Network Based Data Mining To Envisage Agriculture CultivationE. T. Venkatesh, Dr. P. ThangarajStudy on characteristics of soil, to determine the types of crops suitable for cultivation in a particular region can increase the yield to greater extent, which minimizes the expenditures involved in irrigation and application of fertilizers. With the tested techniques available for calibrating the quality of soil and the crops suitable for cultivation in it, it is possible to determine … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2008 · 6,789 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPlants Responses to Nutrients Follow the Saturation Kinetic Typical of Enzyme Systems: Biological, Economical and Environmental ImplicationsR.P. LanaAgricultural efficiency has been associated with high plant productivity. However, it is dependent on fertilizers, which are nonrenewable resources. Crop production response to fertilizers is hyperbolic, following the Michaelis-Menten model and the law of diminishing return. Data of crop production (barley, bean, corn, cotton, soybean and wheat) as a function of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilization were analyzed by Lineweaver-Burk … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 6,898 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTowards Growing Bario Rice on Lowland Soils: A Preliminary Nitrogen and Potassium Fertilization TrialMuyang Tawie Sulok Kevin, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Wan Yahaya Wan Asrina et al.A pot study was carried with the following objectives: (i) To investigate N and K uptake of Bario rice on Bekenu series (Tipik Tualemkuts), and (ii) To investigate N and K use efficiency of Bario rice on Bekenu series. Treatments evaluated were: (i) Bario rice under fertilized condition (T1), and (ii) Bario rice under unfertilized condition (T0). The experiment was … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,777 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy on Carbon Source Screening Technology for Prevention and Control of Banana Fusarium WiltJin Li, Tingting Duan, Zhong Lin et al.With the spread of banana Fusarium wilt and the aggravation of the damage, it has become the biggest threat to the banana industry. Many studies have shown that bio-organic fertilizer plays an important role in the prevention and control of banana wilt, but most studies focused on biocontrol bacterium screening, not screening carbon sources that could prevent banana wilt, which … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 5 Mar 2020 · 7,265 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Composted Animal Manure as Fertilizer on Productivity of Azolla Pinnata Grown in Earthen PondsRistianto Utomo, Cuk Tri Noviandi, Nafiatul Umami, Adhitya PermadiAzolla pinnata contains a high nutritional value with a high protein content of 25%, so it can be used as an alternative to animal feed. The low production of Azolla is caused by the suboptimal use of fertilizers. This study aims were to determine the type of manure (composted manure from poultry, goats, and rabbit) which was the most optimal … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 4 · 9 Nov 2019 · 11,074 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Treated Wastewater in Terms of Environmental StandardsSona Pazdar, Saeid Eslamian, Hossein Gholami, Kaveh Ostad-Ali-AskariThe desired use of refined wastewater has not yet found its proper place in many countries, therefore, achieving a relative equilibrium in the field of urban wastewater evacuation and re-utilizing it is a fundamental principle. And this great matter is not possible except by developing a comprehensive refinery waste management system. The set of measures that have been taken so … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 27 Sep 2019 · 7,914 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractControlled Release Behaviors of Tribenuron Methyl Herbicide and Potassium Nitrate Fertilizer from Natural Polymer Blended Poly(Vinyl Alcohol) Hydrogel MicrospheresFawzi Habeeb Jabrail, Wajeeh Mohammed Jamil, Maher Zeki Elsabee, Kailash Chandra GuptaPolyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) hydrogel microspheres for controlled release of fertilizer (KNO3) and Tribenuron Methyl Herbicide (TBM) were prepared by blending the naturally occurring Alginate (AL) and Pectin (PE). The cross-linking in PVA hydrogel microspheres was carried out by varying the amount of glutaraldehyde from 0.5-1.0 wt%.
