The article is devoted to determining the effect of mineral and microbiological fertilizers on grain yield spring durum wheat (variety Luch 25) cellulose-decomposing ability soil during moldboard minimal tillage. It concluded that provide maximum efficiency, which in turn contributes an increase crop yields.

The use of sediment settling velocity based on mineral grain size distribution in erosion models ignores the effects of aggregation on settling velocity. The alternative approach, wet-sieved aggregate size distribution, on the other hand, cannot represent all destructive processes that eroded soils may experience under impacting raindrops. Therefore, without considering raindrop impact, both me...

Quantifying the erosional and kinematic evolution of orogenic plateaus has been limited by insufficient age constraints on their deformation and erosion histories. Palinspastic restorations suggest the central Andean fold-thrust belt and plateau evolved concurrently in Bolivia. We present an analysis that synthesizes 19 new and 32 previous apatite and zircon fission-track and (U–Th)/He mineral ...

The Eastern Mediterranean Sea is a sink for terrigenous sediments from North Africa, Europe and Asia Minor. Its sediments therefore provide valuable information on the climate dynamics in the source areas and the associated transport processes. We present a high-resolution dataset of sediment core M40/4_SL71, which was collected SW of Crete and spans the last ca. 180 kyr. We analysed the clay m...

Seven strains of bacteria [Pseudomonas plecoglossicida SRI-156, Brevibacterium antiquum SRI-158, Bacillus altitudinis SRI-178, Enterobacter ludwigii SRI-211, E. ludwigii SRI-229, Acinetobacter tandoii SRI-305 and Pseudomonas monteilii SRI-360; demonstrated previously for control of charcoal rot disease in sorghum and plant growth-promotion (PGP) in rice] were evaluated for their PGP and biofort...

[1] After 2 years of operation the Observatoire pour la Minéralogie, l’Eau, les Glaces et l’Activité (OMEGA) imaging spectrometer on board Mars Express has acquired data coverage of the Martian surface with spatial resolution varying between 300 m and 4.8 km, depending on the pericenter altitude of the spacecraft’s elliptical orbit. We report the global surface distributions of some minerals us...

Performance responses to steam flaking flint corn as well as to the addition of roughage to finishing diets composed of whole flint corn were evaluated. Ninety-six Nellore bulls were stratified by initial BW (373 ± 11 kg) and randomly allotted to 16 feedlot pens (6 bulls/pen) in a randomized complete block design with 4 replicates/treatment. Dietary treatments for the 86-d feeding trial consist...

Abstract. Mineral grains within sediment or rock absorb a radiation dose from the decay of radionuclides in host matrix. For beta component, estimated rate must be adjusted for attenuation particles mineral grains. Standard calculations, originally designed thermoluminescence dating pottery, assume that grain is embedded homogenous medium. However, most current applications trapped-charge conce...

in order to evaluation the effects of different soil fertility systems on chickpea seed quality, field experiments were carried out in sanandaj agriculture research station of iran in 2007 and 2008 growing seasons. experimental units were arranged in split-split plots based on randomized complete blocks with three replications. green manure levels considered main plots, base fertilizer compound...
