Structural soil quality related to microbiological parameters in sugarcane

The Effect of Parameters Related to Soil Salinity on Madder (Rubinia tinctorum) Pigment Quality

The roots of the madder plant (Rubinia tinctorum) contain some pigments that can be used to produce the red dyes. In order to study the effect of salinity on alterations in the amount of plant pigment an experiment was conducted according to a completely randomized design with three replications. Based on the CIE XYZ color space model designed close to human color vision, the results showed tha...

Soil Quality Indexing Strategies for Evaluating Sugarcane Expansion in Brazil.

Increasing demand for biofuel has intensified land-use change (LUC) for sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) expansion in Brazil. Assessments of soil quality (SQ) response to this LUC are essential for quantifying and monitoring sustainability of sugarcane production over time. Since there is not a universal methodology for assessing SQ, we conducted a field-study at three sites within the largest...

Monitoring water quality of Prishtevka River based on microbiological parameters

Prishtevka River Basin in the upper part is characterized by hilly - mountain terrain, while the side stretched towards the city of Pristina to the estuary of Sitnica River is characterized by field terrain. 1.5% of the catchment area is situated at an altitude above 1000 m, 33.9% from 1000 m to 800 m, 20.1% from 800 m to 700 m, 25.2% from 700 m to 600 m, and 19, 2% at an altitude below 600 m. ...

Microbiological Factors in Soil Stabilization

f i rs t part of this letter would be expected to form in Tager's process. Furfural enters into many different types of reactions. One wonders if anyone is able to comprehend all of the possibilities and all of the conditions that might tend to alter the courses of the reactions. We can be sure, however, that some of the products of the reaction between furfural and aniline wi l l be large orga...
