Acid mine drainage (AMD) is one of the problems arising from mining activities. formed due to oxidation sulfide minerals such as pyrite (FeS2) by water and oxygen. Alternative management AMD in a sustainable eco-friendly way constructed wetland. Therefore, this study was conducted determine type composition potential organic matter that can improve quality. The consisted three stages: screening...

A laboratory experiment was conducted to study the induction of constricting rings and test predation of Dactylaria brochopaga isolates against second stage juveniles (J2s) of Meloidogyne graminicola. Among the five fungal isolates, isolate D showed the greatest number of predatory rings and, consequently, trapped the maximum number of M. graminicola J2s in dual cultures. Another pot experiment...

in order to study the effects of different levels of cow and chicken manure and elemental sulfur (s) on availability of plant nutrients and their uptake by corn (zea mays l.), a factorial experiment was conducted using a completely randomized design and three replication. experimental treatments were three levels (0, 10 and 20 ton ha-1) of cow and chicken manures, and three levels (0, 0.25% and...

enhancing nitrogen use efficiency is one of the most important strategies for improving productivity in agriculture and reducing risk of environmental pollutions in sustainable agriculture. in order to study the effects of different levels of organic manure and chemical fertilizer on nitrogen uptake efficiency (nupe), nitrogen utilization efficiency (nute) and nitrogen use efficiency (nue) of i...

Beef production is a recognized source of greenhouse gas (GHG) and ammonia (NH(3)) emissions; however, little information exists on the net emissions from beef production systems. A partial life cycle assessment (LCA) was conducted using the Integrated Farm System Model (IFSM) to estimate GHG and NH(3) emissions from representative beef production systems in California. The IFSM is a process-le...

The non-edible parts of Moringa oleifera, such as stems, branches or leaf petioles, have often been discarded while the leaves are consumed a vegetable used to produce organic fertilizer. This study aimed determine optimal conditions for producing fertilizer (MOF) from previously unused and compare these fertilizers with cow manure bio-organic Seventy kilograms were blended fifty manure, 0.2 ki...

Composts prepared from a variety of feedstocks were tested for their ability to suppress seedling and root diseases of creeping bentgrass caused by Pythium graminicola. Among the most suppressive materials in laboratory experiments were different batches of a brewery sludge compost and a biosolids compost from Endicott, N.Y. Batches of these composts that were initially not suppressive to Pythi...

The disposal of organic wastes specially from urban origin is a very serious problem. The recycling through agriculture is certainly one of the best solutions but it means a thorough control of the composition and doses applied, as well as the response of the crops, in production and quality. In this paper we deal with compost of solid urban residues, sewage sludge, and cow manure as a known re...

A pot experiment was conducted in the open net house of the Department of Agricultural Chemistry, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh from January to June, 2007, to study the effect of organic and inorganic fertilizers on the growth, leaf yield, chlorophyll and protein contents of Stevia rebaudiana (Bert.). The experiment was laid out in completely randomized design with three replic...
