This research was aimed at assessing the fertilizer quality and public health implications of using digestate biofertilizer from the anaerobic digestion of food wastes and human excreta. Twelve (12) kg of food wastes and 3kg of human excreta were mixed with water in a 1:1 w/v to make 30-l slurry that was fed into the anaerobic digester to ferment for 60days at mesophilic temperature (22-31°C). ...

BACKGROUND: Nutrient management is one of the most important factors that affect the growth and production of maize. OBJECTIVES: Current research was conducted to investigate the effect of Mycorrhizas and vermicompost on seed yield, its components and quantities traits such as concentration of protein, starch, zinc, potassium and nitrogen of corn seed.<br...

in order to study the effects of integrative applications of chemical fertilizers and biofertilizers on grain yield and oil of borago officinalis under water deficit stress, a field experiment was conducted at kermanshah, iran, in 2011. experiment was arranged as split plot under a randomized complete block design with 3 replications. water deficit stress with four levels was applied as the mai...

Sugar-cane bagasse (SCB) is used for pectinases production from Thermomyceslanuginosus at 55°C under solid-state fermentation (SSF).The study aims to purify total PNL and PL enzymes produced from SCB as the sole carbon source at 55°C using microbial fermentation technology, and to evaluate the fermented bagasse residuals as fertilizer for the purpose of combatting soil desertification and then ...

Zinc is an essential micronutrient which plays a macro role in the growth and productivity of the plants. Zinc (Zn) deficiency hinders metabolic and physiological activity in plants due to its inevitable role as an enzyme cofactor. Many Indian soil exhibit Zn deficiency with the content much below the critical level of 1.5ppm. The conditions that make unavailability of zinc to plants are high p...

in order to study the effects of different levels of drought stress and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria on the germination indices of seeds harvested from wheat (tritium aestivum l.) cv. sayonz in the field treated with different levels of nitrogen, in controlled conditions, a factorial layout based on completely randomized design with three replications, was conducted. treatments included...

in order to study the effects of different nutrition systems (organic, chemical and integrated) and biofertilizer (pgpr) on phenology period, grain yield and its component in sunflower (helianthus annuus l.) an experiment was conducted using alestar cultivar at the research farm of college of agriculture, tarbiat modares university in 2007. five levels of nutrition systems including f1 (100% or...
