The pot experiments were conducted in the Department of Life Science and Bioinformatics of Assam University, Silchar. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of dual inoculation of Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) (Glomus fasciculatum) and Rhizobium on the chlorophyll, nitrogen and phosphorus contents of pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan L.). The results revealed an overall increase in chl...

Effects of eutrophication on the relative importance of nutrients and macroherbivores as controls of microphytobenthic standing crop were examined in estuaries with different nitrogen loading rates: Sage Lot Pond (14 kg ha–1 yr–1), Green Pond (178 kg ha–1 yr–1), and Childs River (601 kg ha–1 yr–1). We selected 5 sites with similar salinity ranges on shallow-water, sandy substrates per estuary. ...

The biological variables consist of a single population each of phytoplankton and grazers, which are denominated in phosphorus units (mmol m23) in the constant (Redfield) ratio model (CRM) and are given the symbols Pp and Pz. In the variable ratio model (VRM), there are separate state variables for phytoplankton carbon (Cp), nitrogen (Np), phosphorus (Pp), and chlorophyll (M). Grazer biomass is...

The availability of carbon from rising atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and of nitrogen from various human-induced inputs to ecosystems is continuously increasing; however, these increases are not paralleled by a similar increase in phosphorus inputs. The inexorable change in the stoichiometry of carbon and nitrogen relative to phosphorus has no equivalent in Earth's history. Here we report th...

this research compares the performance of floating systems planted with vetiveria zizanioides as a hydroponic approach for removing nutrients from two contaminated waters. for this purpose, two pilots with overall net volume of 60 litres were constructed and inoculated by secondary treated domestic wastewater (stdw) and irrigation water obtained from minab reservoir (iwmr) in batch mode. regard...

The removal of phosphorus and nitrogen compounds from biochemically treated wastewater effluents by alum flocculation and lime precipitation was investigated. Samples of secondary effluent were flocculated or precipitated in accord with conventional Jar Test procedures. The phosphorus removal was found to be highly pH dependent with an optimum pH of 5.57 ± 0.25. At this pH an alum dose of 250 m...

BACKGROUND: Fertilizer management plays an important role to achieve sustainable agriculture. OBJECTIVES: Current study was conducted to assess response of agrophysiological traits of wheat to apply different level of fertilizer and biologic fertilizer (Phosphorus and Nitrogen). METHODS: This research was carried out via factorial e...

introduction: sequential batch reactor (sbr) is one of the modified biological treatment systems which is able to remove bod5, nitrogen, and phosphorus from wastewater. the object of this study is to determine the removal efficiency of nitrogen, phosphorus, and heavy metals from municipal wastewater by the advanced sbr system. methods: this descriptive-analytical and cross-sectional study was c...
