This work was carried out to determine the influence of the duration of fallow and of physico-chemical components of soils on the distribution of endomycorrhizal fungal spores and the mycorrhizal soil infectivity. The mycorrhization of indigenous plants from the fallows was examined and it was concluded that, except for Cassia obtusifolia, fungal colonization was poorly developed. No correlatio...

The crude oil, crude protein, crude ash, crude fiber, total phenol and antioxidant activity values, peroxide values, specific gravity, the refraxtive index and  acid value of Citrullus lanatus and their oils were determined. Fatty acid composition of seeds belong to both watermelon were determined by Gas Chromotography (GC). These oils are important sources of essential fatty acid,...

The contribution of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and archaea (AOB and AOA, respectively) to the net oxidation of ammonia varies greatly between terrestrial environments. To better understand, predict and possibly manage terrestrial nitrogen turnover, we need to develop a conceptual understanding of ammonia oxidation as a function of environmental conditions including the ecophysiology of associat...

In the present study amendment of three types compost made from lemon peels (LP), vegetable waste (VW), and cooked food (CF) in garden soil was carried out. It observed that pH all treatments increased control with a maximum LP 22% minimum CF 10% at 270 days. The temperature higher than increase 52% 20% VW 90 A OC has been compost-treated 106% followed by 64% 24% days.TN up to days 484, 100, 46...

The effects of various organic manure [farm yield manure (FYM), sewage sludge and poultry manure] application on adsorption-desorption of three carbamate pesticides [oxamyl(I);S-Ethyl-Nmethylcarbamoyl)oxy]thioacetimidate (II) and N-Phenyl (ethyl carbamoyl) propyl carbamate (III) on six soil samples of Aligarh district was studied. Addition of organic manure increased soil organic carbon content...
