There is a need for information about the response of Populus genotypes to repeated application of high-salinity water and nutrient sources throughout an entire rotation. We have combined establishment biomass and uptake data with mid- and full-rotation growth data to project potential chloride (Cl-) and sodium (Na+) uptake for 2- to 11-year-old Populus in the north central United States. Our o...

Quantifying nutrient limitation of primary productivity is a fundamental task of terrestrial ecosystem ecology, but in a high carbon dioxide environment it is even more critical that we understand potential nutrient constraints on plant growth. Ecologists often manipulate nutrients with fertilizer to assess nutrient limitation, yet for a variety of reasons, nutrient fertilization experiments ar...

Herein, fast Fourier transformation square-wave voltammetry (FFT-SWV) as a novel electrochemical determination technique was used to investigate the electrochemical behavior and determination of Riboflavin at the surface of a nanocomposite modified carbon paste electrode. The carbon paste electrode was modified by nanocomposite containing Samarium oxide (Sm2O3)/reduced gra...

A majority of oral cancers is squamous cell carcinoma and tongue carcinomas comprise 30% of all oral cancers. Phytochemicals, herbal and dietary antioxidants have been reported to prevent cancers. A nutrient mixture containing, ascorbic acid, lysine, proline and green tea extract, among other nutrients, has previously been shown to exhibit a broad spectrum chemo preventative and therapeutic ant...

Hardwood bareroot seedlings typically undergo transplant shock immediately following afforestation planting associated with moisture or nutrient stress. Broadcast field fertilization at outplanting with readily available nutrients has shown limited capacity to reduce nutrient stresses. Furthermore, the rapid nutrient release characteristic of broadcast fertilization leads to high levels of nutr...

In order to study the Cu(II) ion selective electrode, an optimized membrane was prepared by mixing of 30 mg of PVC powdered, 5 mg of considered ionophore, 60 mg of plasticizer and 5 mg of additive. The sensor showed a near Nernstian response for Cu(II) ions over a concentration range from 1.0×0-6 –1.0×0-2 M with a slope of 28.90.5 mV per concentration decade with a working pH range of 3.5-6.3. ...

In Cambodia, cassava is mostly grown with little or no fertilizer inputs, but the magnitudes of nutrient balances are not known. This study was conducted to assess nutrient balances for cassava cultivation in Kampong Cham province in Northeast Cambodia. Forty five households in four cassava production zones were interviewed in relation to their cultural practices and crop residue management...

Study of appropriate planting time and response to agronomic management practices is imperative for the newly introduced cactus pear (Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) Mill.) into a semi-arid region India. Responses (planting irrigation fertilizer application) were evaluated determine potential fodder production livestock feed in environment We assessed four times (February, March, July October) two ma...
