Summary Optimizing fertilizer use in intensively cropped soils is essential, but knowledge of related issues among farmers lacking. The present study assessed farmers’ perceptions fertilizers and practices intensive cereal production rural areas Evros northern Greece. In total, 250 were chosen for this study, more than half the (53.6%) perceived that chemical are hazardous, corroborating a gene...

Nitrogen fertilizers play an important role in the cultivation of crops, excessive and improper usage cause severe issues with respect to human environment. It is essential go for alternative sources nitrogen like nano slow controlled release nitrogen.An experiment was conducted at Agriculture Research Farm, Lovely Professional University, Phagwara, during kharif 2022 by using source maize crop...

Integrated pest management (IPM) programs have been developed for almost all agricultural and ornamental crop production systems over the past two decades. But only recently have IPM and organic management systems been considered a truly primary approach in professional turfgrass management. The reasons for the dramatic increase in organic approaches are centered on public concern for the envir...

Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for crops. Modern agriculture dependent on P derived from phosphate rock, which a non-renewable resource that becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. Therefore, it necessary to identify alternative sources of develop novel technologies its recovery. Such are focused the recovery struvite (MgNH4PO4·6H2O) (STR) urban wastewater. A reduction in effluents...

Nanotechnology can be used to produce slow-release fertilizers. Zeolite and crab shells are materials that as fertilizer encapsulation. This study aimed compare the effects of nano zeolite for encapsulation nitrogen- potassium fertilizers tested on Entisols Inceptisols soil growth yield shallots. The research method a completely randomized design with three factors. factors were type (Entisol I...

the present study is aimed at the overall improvement in the efficacy, reduced toxicity and enhancement of therapeutic index of cisplatin. nanocapsules of cisplatin containing ethylcellulose have been prepared using solvent evaporation technique under ambient conditions. the prepared nanocapsules were used for controlled drug release of anticancer agents with gold and iron oxide nanoparticles. ...
