Introduction: Dhofar 733 is a 98-g lunar meteorite collected in the Dhofar region of Oman in 2002 [1]. In the initial description [1], Dhofar 733 is described as an anorthositic granulitic breccia, one that is probably not paired with any other lunar meteorite on the basis of its unique texture and isolation from other lunar meteorites (the next closest lunar meteorite was found 22 km away). Th...

New mineralogical and geochemical data from a suite of glass ± from the mantle (Deines & Gold, 1973; Nelson et al., 1988). However, controversy remains as to whether such apatite ± amphibole ± phlogopite ± carbonate-bearing spinel magmas represent (1) direct partial melts of carbonatewehrlite, lherzolite and harzburgite xenoliths from the Newer Volbearing mantle peridotite (i.e. primary carbona...

to study the effects of soil amendments on physical and hydraulic properties of a saline-sodic sandy clay loam soil, a field experiment was carried out as a complete block design with three replications. the treatments in this research consisted of control (b), 10 ton ha-1 gypsum (g), 10 ton ha-1 urban solid compost (c), three levels of vinyl alcohol acrylic acid (s1= 0.05%, s2= 0.1%, s3= 0.2%)...

In the current study, the qualitative status of potable well water was assessed using the groundwater quality index during a course of 4 years (2014-2017). This study was carried out with an aim to monitor the drinking water resources from 12 potable wells on the multivariate analysis basis and for determination of groundwater quality index, the following 13 physicochemical parameters including...

A field experiment was conducted during 2013-14 to 2015-16 at Central Soil Salinity Research Institute, Regional Station, Lucknow find out the alternate rice (Oryza sativa L.)- wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cropping system under partially reclaimed sodic soils. Four systems, viz. L.), sorghum (Sorghum bicolor)-berseem (Trifolium alexandrinum), sweet basil (tulsi) (Ocimum basilicum L.)-matricaria...

Abstract The use of nano-gypsum in low doses can be an innovative method to mitigate salinity-sodicity effects and enhance spinach growth saline-sodic soil. We evaluated four 960, 480, 240, 120 kg ha ?1 , addition the control recommended conventional gypsum dose (~ 30 t ), a randomized complete pot experiment. pots soil were incubated laboratory for 2 months leached 5 times another months. Then...
