Roots and tubers are used for treating a variety of purposes, including treating asthma, bronchitis, insomnia, epilepsy and angina.Due to diverse use, the species has been largely exploited from natural habitat leading to its threatened status. A field experiment was conducted to study the influence...

The article presents research results on obtaining phosphorus granulated fertilizers on the basis of microbiologically activated sewage sludge ashes, ground bones and dried blood from meat industry. Granulation tests were carried out using a laboratory pan granulator as well as on an experimental pilot plant. The aim of the studies was to select the proper composition of the mixture of raw mate...

In unsaline loam soil, a laboratory experiment was undertaken studying the effect of using diluted saline water from Karoon lake at Fayoum Governorate, on transformations and subsequent nitrification of two ammoniacal fertilizers, namely (NH4)2SO4 and urea, in the presence or absence of natural organic amendments, namely clover and wheat straw. Ammonification and nitrification of both fertilize...

We tested the efficacy of matrix-based fertilizers (MBFs) to improve Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) growth while reducing NH, NO3, dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP), and total phosphorus (TP) compared to commercial slowrelease fertilizer (SRF) Polyon®, ESN®, and Avail® in greenhouse column studies. The MBFs covered a range of inorganic N and P in compounds that are relatively loosely b...

Growing fruit trees on the slopes of rolling hills in South China was causing serious environmental problems because of heavy application of chemical fertilizers and soil erosion. Suitable sources of fertilizers and proper rates of applications were of key importance to both crop yields and environmental protection. In this article, the impact of four fertilizers, i.e., inorganic compound ferti...
