The present study was conducted on efficiency of utilization of dietary energy for milk production in lactating crossbred cattle. 18 lactating crossbred cattle of early to mid-lactation, approximate body weight (375.39±23.43 kg), milk yield, parity and stage of lactation were divided into three groups of six animals each and were fed 0, 50 and 100% diammonium phosphate (DAP) in the mineral mixt...

Fertilization commonly increases biomass production in loblolly pine ( Pinus taeda L.). However, the sequence of short-term physiological adjustments allowing for the establishment of leaf area and enhanced growth is not well understood. The effects of fertilization on photosynthetic parameters, root respiration, and growth for over 200 d following the application of diammonium phosphate were i...

phosphorus solubilizing microorganisms are capable of transforming insoluble phosphorus (p) forms to soluble and bioavailable p. the aim of the present study was to isolate p solubilizing bacteria from forest soils around the rock phosphate (rp) mine of koh-e-sepidlar in kohgiluyeh and boyer ahmad province and evaluate their ability in sperber culture medium and wheat straw medium in the presen...

Under the high temporal variability of Mediterranean climate, prompt emergence wheat seedlings and early vigor are pivotal attributes, positively affecting final grain yield. Phosphorus (P) fertilization at sowing is largely used in cultivation to support early-season growth promote a more rapid crop establishment. While conventional farming can rely on wide variety synthetic fertilizers, numbe...

In recent years, electrochemical precipitation has gained interest as an alternative method for the synthesis of various minerals, including struvite, from waste streams that can serve fertilizer. Studies in lowland cultivations, specifically rice (Oryza sativa) under flood-irrigated conditions, evaluating struvite a possible phosphorus (P) fertilizer source have been limited. The objective thi...

Declining soil fertility is a major constraint to potato farming, the second most important food crop in Kenya. The objective of study was determine effect different rates biochar and inorganic fertilizer on some properties; pH, phosphomonoesterases, nitrogen extractable phosphorus. conducted for two seasons (short long rains) at locations (Egerton University agricultural field farmer’s Mau Nar...

Concern over nonpoint-source phosphorus (P) losses from agricultural lands to surface waters has resulted in scrutiny of factors affecting P loss potential. A rainfall simulation study was conducted to quantify the effects of alternative P sources (dairy manure, poultry manure, swine slurry, and diammonium phosphate), application methods, and initial soil P concentrations on runoff P losses fro...

An improved technique is described for analysis of platinum (Pt) concentrations in plasma and urine by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrophotometry (EAAS). The method is intended for use in therapeutic monitoring of cancer patients treated with platinum-containing antitumor drugs. Samples (0.1 ml) of plasma, urine, or Pt standards are diluted to two ml with a matrix solution that contains...

The title compound, {(C(8)H(20)N(2))[PbCl(4)]}(n), crystallizes as an layered inorganic-organic hybrid perovskite-type structure. Corner-sharing PbCl(6) octa-hedra extend parallel to the ac plane. Adjacent layers are staggered relative to one another, with diammonium cations separating these layers. The cations exhibit symmetry and inter-act with the inorganic sheets via N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonding...
