Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsINFLUENCE OF INCUBATION PERIOD, TEMPERATURE AND DIFFERENT PHOSPHATE LEVELS ON PHOSPHATE ADSORPTION IN SOILA. Rajput, Q. A. Panhwar, U. A. Naher et al.Phosphorus (P) is the most important element after nitrogen but P sorption properties are poorly documented in many soils. In this study, P sorption capacity in relation to incubation period and temperature under various P levels were determined for two different soil series (Rustam and Miani). Phosphorus was added at 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500 and 1000 µg … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 13 Feb 2014 · 8,290 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 · 5,938 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSoil Organic Carbon Stock under Different Age Ranges of Cashew Agroecosystems in the Sudano-Sahelian Zone of CameroonAwé Djongmo Victor, Noiha Noumi Valery, Zapfack LouisThe aim of this study was to quantify the current soil organic carbon stock under different age ranges of cashew agroecosystems in the Sudano-Sahelian zone of Cameroon in the context of greenhouse gas emissions and land degradation. It is so crucial for combating climate change and improving ecological restoration. Random field sampling was carried out on 0-10, 10-20 and 20-30 … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 28 Dec 2020 · 6,993 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Various Combustible Materials on Insulating Properties of Refractory BricksIsiaka Olajide Odewale, Ebere Monica Ameh, Victor Tyonenge Dhave Amaakaven et al.The effect of various combustible materials on insulating properties of refractory bricks produced from Enugu fire clay and Ekebedi clay has been studied. This is aimed at determining the most favourable combustible material for different composition(s). The clays with combustible materials were used to compose different samples labeled A-G with varying percentages of combustible materials at reducing rate of 5% … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 22 Jul 2020 · 6,046 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Animal Manure Application Rates on Soil Moisture Conservation at, Somali Regional State, EthiopiaTekilil WoldeThe Ethiopian economy is mainly agrarian. It employs 85% of the population and contributes 45% of the gross domestic product and 90% of the national export earnings but agriculture in Ethiopia is dominated by rainfed farming with low productivity specially dry land part of the country like Somali region. As a result, crops have severe moisture stress through their growth … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 15 Aug 2019 · 7,744 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Aliphatic Hydrocarbons in Sediments of Shatt Al-Arab River, Southern Iraq, North East Arabian GulfWisam Abdul-Ameer FaridShatt Al-Arab River is one of the important rivers for water supply, industry and irrigation in Basrah City, south of Iraq. It's also supply drinking water to users in the region. Despite the significance of this river, there is a lack of previous studies dealing with petroleum pollution especially for geochemical studies of organic matter in the river sediments using … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 6 · 29 Jan 2018 · 7,458 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPetrography and Geochemistry of Orin-Ekiti Basement Rocks, Southwestern Nigeria: Implications on BauxitizationAbel Ojo Talabi, Akin Ojo Oyinloye, Olusola Amos Olaolorun et al.The petrography and geochemistry of Orin-Ekiti Basement rocks were evaluated to determine their mineralogical and chemical composition, assessed their petrogenesis and susceptibility to the formation of bauxitic clay. Ten representative rock samples were selected for thin section petrography and bulk rock geochemical analysis using Petrographic microscope and XRF, Rh Tube, 3k Watt respectively. Field observations revealed charnockites as the dominant … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 1 Jan 2018 · 8,767 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWater Filter Fabrication from a Mixture of KMnO4 Modified Kapok Carbon Fiber, Zeolite, Bentonite and Clay for Fe3+Removal and Water Hardness TreatmentKannika Thongdee, Kalayaporn Parun, Suphakrit Benjatitmongkhon et al.A water filter was fabricated from a mixture of KMnO4 modified kapok carbon fiber, zeolite, bentonite and kaolinite clay for Fe3+ removal and water hardness treatment. The effects of amount of KMnO4 modified kapok carbon fiber (30-60 wt%), zeolite (20-40 wt%) and sintering temperature (500-700°C) on the properties of sintered products were evaluated. The best of sintered products were tested … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 6 · 15 Jun 2017 · 7,580 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization and Evaluation of Charcoal Briquettes Using Banana Peel and Banana Bunch Waste for Household HeatingSumrit Mopoung, Vijitr UdeyeThe charcoal briquettes from banana peel and banana bunch wastes from dried banana industry for household heating were characterized and evaluated. A 200 L pyrolyzer was used for charcoal and wood vinegar production at 350°C pyrolysis temperature. The percent yield of charcoal and wood vinegar were determined. The effects of clay binder (0-15% w/w) on the properties of charcoal briquettes … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 12 Apr 2017 · 23,049 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThermodynamic Model of Calcium Carbonate System of Soil SolutionAbdulmalik A. Batukaev, Anatoliy P. Endovitsky, Andrey G. Andreev et al.Carbonate system determines the basic processes of soil formation and evolution. The aim of research was to show the importance of chemical Carbonate Calcium Equilibrium (CCE) in soil solutions. CCE causes a degree of soil solution’s saturation with CaCO3 as a factor of carbonate geochemical cycle. CCE depends on chemical composition, pH, Eh, buffering properties of liquid phase, dissolution, migration, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 18 May 2016 · 7,978 accessesView PDFCite
