Manure is applied to cropland areas with varying surface cover to meet single‐year or multiple‐year crop nutrient requirements. The objectives of this field study were to: (1) examine runoff water quality characteristics following land application of manure to sites with and without wheat residue, (2) compare the water quality impacts of land application of manure to meet 0‐, 1‐, 2‐, 4‐, and 8‐...

Arabidopsis thaliana root hairs grow longer and denser in response to low-phosphorus availability. We tested the hypothesis that wild-type Arabidopsis would acquire more phosphorus under phosphorus-limiting conditions than mutants that do not have the root hair response. The growth and phosphorus acquisition of wild-type Arabidopsis (WS) were compared to two root hair mutants (rhd6 and rhd2) un...

Resource-consumer models have been applied to explain population cycles of small mammals such as brown lemmings in Alaska. All these models only consider food quantity for small mammals. However, food quality can potentially be a key factor driving the population cycle. To capture both food quantity and quality in the resource-consumer model, we apply the newly emerged method “ecological stoich...

BACKGROUND/AIMS To prevent hypocalcemia after parathyroidectomy (PTX), parenteral calcium is required in addition to oral calcitriol and calcium. After switching to oral calcium, patients can be discharged from the hospital. The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical characteristics and outcomes of PTX performed at a single Korean center and to investigate the associated laboratory facto...

Background: Soil is a crucial and remarkable component of the terrestrial ecosystems. The objective this study to analyze macronutrients micronutrients in order understand suitability soil for cultivation crops selected sites. In present physicochemical analysis was carried out by analyzing parameters i.e. pH, organic carbon potassium etc. Methods: Four samples were collected 2017-2018 during w...

Aims: To study the phosphorus requirement of Rice - zero till maize (Zea mays L.) cropping system on productivity and soil available Phosphorus balance. Study Design: Randomized block design (two factors). Methodology: The field experiment was conducted for two consecutive years at College Agriculture, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad. Levels P2O5 (kg ha-1) applied to rice (5 levels) (3 respectively we...

Arabidopsis thaliana root hairs grow longer and denser in response to low-phosphorus availability. In addition, plants with the root hair response acquire more phosphorus than mutants that have root hairs that do not respond to phosphorus limiting conditions. The purpose of this experiment was to determine the efficiency of root hairs in phosphorus acquisition at high- and low-phosphorus availa...

In acid soils, soluble inorganic phosphorus is fixed by aluminium and iron. To overcome this problem, acid soils are limed to fix aluminium and iron but this practice is not economical. The practice is also not environmentally friendly. This study was conducted to improve phosphorus availability using organic amendments (biochar and compost produced from chicken litter and pineapple leaves, res...

Phosphorus management through dietetic therapy is vital for the prevention of cardiovascular disease in chronic kidney disease patients. There are two main sources of phosphorus in the diet, organic phosphorus from protein and inorganic phosphorus from food additives. The adverse effects of high phosphorus intake on vascular-endothelium function have been reported; however, the differences in t...
