Factors responsible for the spatial and temporal clustering of Burkholderia pseudomallei in the environment remain to be elucidated. Whilst laboratory based experiments have been performed to analyse survival of the organism in various soil types, such approaches are strongly influenced by alterations to the soil micro ecology during soil sanitisation and translocation. During the monsoonal sea...

Bitter melons have been proven with anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic activities. However, due to its short shelf life bitter taste, the consumption of melon is limited in United States. Among many encapsulation technologies, spray drying a cost-effective method for bioactive compounds. Polysaccharides proteins are vastly used as wall materials The juice can provide protection over compounds ...

The effect of clay and humic materials in the control nitrate leaching from sandy soil was established through a column experiment. In PVC with 3 inches dia 45 cm length packed soil, six at 15 days intervals were performed. Nitrogen added @ 150 kg ha -1 . results study indicated significant influence 40 t acid 20 efficient NO - NH + N leached corresponding increase retension soil. linear equati...

Nanoparticles (NPs) are playing an important role in addressing various environmental constraints by giving ingenious and successful resolutions. Heavy metal (HM) stress has gained significant importance the last few years because of its speedy incorporation into agricultural sectors. Due to exclusive physiochemical properties, NPs can be effectively applied for mitigation strategies. highly ef...

flood water contains high amount of sediment affecting the fertility of the coarse grain alluvial fans and flood plains through increasing nutrients. in this study, the effects of the flood water spreading on the soil nutrients recovery were investigated during 10 years (2004-2014) at the poldasht flood spreading station of west azarbaijan in iran. flooded three upper strips were selected at th...

to understand the relationship between natural physicochemical properties of soil and abundance of citrus root nematode (tylenchulus semipenetrans), a survey was conducted during 2009-2010 in some 37 citrus orchards, in kohgilouyeh va boyerahmad province, iran. distribution of the citrus nematode was determined by collecting random samples from the soil and citrus plant roots, extracting and en...

the superficial strata of ground have been perennially exposed to the action of natural agents such as heat, cold and water. however, grazing agent was not different from them when soils were investigated from temperate rangelands of kashmir and caused the soil compaction, soil structure degradation and loss of soil organic c and c/n ratio. soils from three grazing intensities were investigated...
