Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAgro-Process Intensification through Synthetic Rhizosphere Media for Nitrogen Fixation and Yield Enhancement in PlantsG. Akay, D. R. BurkeProblem statement: In order to combat global warming and the emerging Food, Energy and Water shortages (FEWs), several approaches have been adopted, including genetic engineering and farming practices. Biomass based energy technology will further stress food and water resources and hence novel holistic approaches to FEWs should be designed. Approach: A novel technique (Agro-Process Intensification, A-PI) which simultaneously addresses FEWs … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 15 Mar 2012 · 8,599 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 · 4,225 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Heavy Metals Migration in the Water - Soil - Fodder - Milk Food Chain in the Almaty RegionNurzhan Sarsembayeva, Tolkyn Abdigaliyeva, Zura Utepova et al.This study presents the results of monitoring heavy metals (Cd, Pb, As and Hg) in the water - soil - fodder - milk food chain. The research aimed to study the effect of lead, cadmium, mercury and arsenic in soil, water and components of the diet of cattle on their bioaccumulation in livestock products (milk) in basic farms of the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 2 · 22 Jun 2021 · 6,409 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimulation Model for Feasibility Studies on Bioremediation of Uranium Mill Tailings using Hyper Accumulator Chrysopogon zizanioidesH. Shanmugasundaram, Sathesh Kumar Annamalai, Kantha Deivi Arunachalam et al.Contamination of environment by uranium is expected in places where mining of uranium ore and processing, nuclear testing and reactor operations when the control measures are not effective. The daughter radionuclides of the ores, chemical additives and residual uranium are the maincomponents of processed waste from uranium industries. The bioremediation of contaminated areas using plant species or group of the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 6 · 11 Dec 2016 · 8,872 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLead in Meat and Meat Products Consumed by the Population in SlovakiaLukáčová Anetta, Golian JozefThe presence of heavy metals in food is the consequence of atmosphere contamination of polluted soil, waters and results in contaminated feed with heavy metals. The lead concentrations depend on the environmental conditions and the food production methods. The monitoring of lead concentration in meat is important for human health. The aim of this study was to determine the level … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 24 Dec 2014 · 7,926 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEVALUATION OF N ADDITIVES FOR IMPROVING N USE EFFICIENCY OF SURFACE APPLIED UREA TO DRY SEEDED AND PERMANENTLY FLOODED RICEDavid D. Dunn, Pawel WiatrakThere are several potential Nitrogen (N) loss mechanisms in a dry seeded and delayed flood system rice (Oryza Satvia L.) production system including urea volatilization and denitrification. The scope and magnitude of these potential losses are largely weather dependent. Two additives (stabilizers), Agrotain and Nutrisphere-N, have been offered to rice producers for controlling these potential losses. This study compared these … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 21 Jun 2014 · 6,692 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiodegradation and Recycling of Urban Solid WasteS. P. Gautam, P. S. Bundela, A. K. Pandey et al.Problem statement: Rapid urbanization and population growth are largely responsible for very high increasing rate of solid waste in the urban areas, its proper management and recycling is major problems of Municipal Corporation. The proposed study attempted to proper management, physicochemical analysis of Urban Solid Waste (USW) and its conversion to enriched compost by ecofriendly process. Approach: For this study, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2009 · 7,103 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Mixing Urea with Humic Acid and Acid Sulphate Soil on Ammonia Loss, Exchangeable Ammonium and Available NitrateMohd Taufik Mohd Yusuff, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab MajidProblem statement: Ammonia loss due to rapid hydrolysis of urea in soil following surface application can be substantial. Ammonia loss in agriculture is estimated to be 1 to 60%. This laboratory study compared the effect of three different urea-humic acid-acid sulphate soil mixtures on NH3 loss and soil ammonium and nitrate contents, with loss from surface applied urea without additives … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2009 · 8,906 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReducing Ammonia Loss from Urea by Mixing with Humic and Fulvic Acids Isolated from CoalAmeera Abdul Reeza, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Nik Ab. Majid, Mohamadu Boyie JallohProblem statement: Ammonia volatilization is a major pathway for nitrogen loss from surface applied urea. While all top-dressed ammonia and ammonium based N fertilizers can volatilize, the potential loss is greatest with urea and fluids containing urea. As much as 20-50% of N applied to soils is lost through volatilization alone. Thus, the objective of this laboratory study was to … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 10,897 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.
