Quantification of dynamics of soil organic carbon (SOC) pools under the influence of long-term fertilization is essential for predicting carbon (C) sequestration. We combined soil chemical fractionation with stable C isotope analyses to investigate the C dynamics of the various SOC pools after 25 years of fertilization. Five types of soil samples (0-20, 20-40 cm) including the initial level (CK...

In order to raise awareness about environmental protection, people are paying more attention now-a-days in reusing wastepaper. As a result, most countries in the world have already made significant progress related to wastepaper recycling technology. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of slow-release fertilizer (SRF) on Chinese cabbage production. Wastepaper was deinked and the...

Is it possible to discover a local outbreak of an infectious disease in a region for which data are missing, but which is at work as a disease spreader? Node discovery for the spread of an infectious disease is defined as discriminating between the nodes which are neighboring to a missing disease spreader node, and the rest, given a dataset on the number of cases. The spread is described by sto...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of chemical fertilizer and composite of organic and chemical fertilizer on lernaeasis in cultured cyprinids was performed in two treatments and three replications in each, in 6 one-hectare ponds. in first treatment only chemical fertilizer and in the second treatment the composite of organic and chemical fertilizer were used. the other rearing...

As an effective supplement to ground machinery, UAVs play important role in agriculture and have become indispensable intelligent equipment the development of precision agriculture. Various types agricultural UAV-based spreading devices, mainly disc-type pneumatic-type, appeared domestic foreign markets. rice topdressing has gradually a widely recognized application with great market potential....

A field study was conducted to determine the effect of organic and mineral-based fertilizers on phytochemical contents in the tubers of two cassava varieties. Treatments were arranged in a split plot design with three replicates. The main plot was fertilizer source (vermicompost, empty fruit bunch compost and inorganic fertilizer) and sub-plot was cassava variety (Medan and Sri Pontian). The am...

in order to evaluate the effect of balanced application of chemical phosphorus fertilizer and seed inoculation with phosphate solubilizing bacterium and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus and on the yield and yield components of maize (zea mays l.) under normal and limited irrigation conditions, a split-split plots arrangement based on randomized complete block design with three replications was con...
