Sub Saharan African soils have low organic matter contents, hence applying compost is therefore instrumental to improve their fertility. This study investigated the quantity and quality of produced by smallholder farmers in five provinces (Gnagna, Gourma, Komondjari, Kompienga Tapoa) from Eastern Burkina Faso. Compost was determined main physical chemical characteristics including bulk density,...

redbud (cercis griffithii) is an iranian native species that plays a crucial role in protecting soil and water in zagros forestsareas. although many reforestation projects of this species in this area were unsuccessful, the restoration of redbud must continue using new applied studies to help conserve this precious resource. this can be achieved through increasing the quality and quantity of se...

composting of organic agricultural wastes is a sustainable method for recycling of the wastes. for determining the effects of tea waste compost (twc) and tree bark compost (tbc) on growing media and some quantity and quality of greenhouse lettuce cv. grate lake 118 this experiment was carried out based on a completely randomized design of four replications. the treatments were different mixture...

years. In many parts of India, it lias long been the practice to utilize night-soil as manure without any previous treatment. It is also occasionally used for preparing ' poudrette' in combination with mud and refuse. In recent years, however, the desirability of preparing composts from night-soil and different forms of organic wastes under aerobic conditions is being increasingly realized as e...

Protoplasts were produced from the thermophilic actinomycete Thermomonospora fusca and were regenerated to 0.1% of the direct count on regeneration agar. Recombination after protoplast fusion was demonstrated with drug-resistant mutants of T. fusca YX. A single thiostrepton-resistant colony was isolated after transformation of T. fusca YX with the streptomycete vector pIJ702, providing the firs...
