The aim of this study was to determine the effect of mineral fertilization on the activity of alkaline and acid phosphatase and content of available phosphorus in soil under winter wheat cultivation. The fi rst factor of experiment was the fertilization with P, K, Mg, Ca and S in six levels: 1 (P, K, Mg, Ca and S), 2 (K, Mg, Ca and S), 3 (P, Mg, Ca and S), 4 (P, K, Ca and S), 5 (P, K, Mg, Ca), ...

Scaling relations among plant traits are both cause and consequence of processes at organ-to-ecosystem scales. The relationship between leaf nitrogen and phosphorus is of particular interest, as both elements are essential for plant metabolism; their limited availabilities often constrain plant growth, and general relations between the two have been documented. Herein, we use a comprehensive da...

this study was conducted to find out the influence of in vitro salinity on growth parameters shoot length, number of leaves, number of new buds, the chlorophyll, chlorosis and necrosis and absorption of sodium, chloride, potassium, nitrogen and phosphorus of pear (pyrus communis cv. dargazi) in vitro propagated shoots. the experiment was conducted as a complete randomized design with 5 salinity...

Retention and excretion of phosphorus and nitrogen were determined for turkeys fed 2 diets at 3 ages, via mass balance based on the nutrient content of consumed feed, carcasses, and litter. The 2 diets consisted of an industry diet (IND) and a low phosphorus + 600 U of phytase/kg (LP) diet. A subsample of birds was weighed and killed at 12, 15, and 18 wk of age for nutrient retention (via whole...

Alcaligenes faecalis No. 4 (No. 4), which conducts heterotrophic nitrification and aerobic denitrification, removed 800 mg-N/l of highstrength ammonium and 100 mg-P/l of phosphorus, both in a synthetic medium and in an anaerobically digested municipal sludge solution. The estimated N2 conversion ratio from ammonium-nitrogen was approximately 50%. When the initial phosphorus concentration was re...

The total concentration of zinc, iron, nitrogen and phosphorus, as well as their water and acetic acid extractable forms – nitrate nitrogen, ammonium nitrogen and phosphate phosphorus – were determined in st. John’s wort herb (Hypericum perforatum l.) yarrow herb (Achillea millefolium l.), nettle leaves (Urtica dioica l.) and birch leaves (Betula pendula roth.), collected from four natural loca...

Previous research has demonstrated that post-anoxic denitrification and biological nutrient removal could be achieved in the oxic/anoxic/extended-idle wastewater treatment regime. This study further investigated the effect of different carbon sources on post-anoxic denitrification and biological nutrient removal. Acetate, propionate (volatile fatty acids (VFAs)), glucose (carbohydrate), methano...
