The excessive increase of jellyfish swarms could threaten the fishers and the marine food chain. The aim of research was to evaluate the potential benefit of the jellyfish as a fertilizer for different trees. The greenhouse experiment was conducted at Kutan, Chuncheon, South Korea using two tree species. Jellyfish was applied to soil before planting at different application rates (1.6, 2.7, 5.5...

humans suffer transient or persistent starvation due to a lack of food intake, either because of fasting, voluntary dieting, or due to the scarcity of available food. at the cellular level it is possible to possess pathological starvation during ischemia and solid tumors. blood provides many nutrients to our cells, and researchers provide these nutrients to cells in culture in the form of enric...

ABSTRACT- The effects of iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) treatments on the growth and nutrient composition of chickpea were studied in a greenhouse experiment arranged in a completely randomized design. While the application of Fe decreased mean shoot dry weight of chickpea, that of Zn had no significant effect on chickpea shoot dry weight. Increasing Fe levels drastically decreased Mn concentration an...

More than 1.5 M ha of eucalypt plantations have been established in south China, increasing by about 100,000 ha y. Productivity is uneven and low, only about 25-50% of the world average for eucalypt plantations. Most land available for eucalypts are degraded oxisols and utilsols which also are acidic, highly leached and deeply weathered. Phosphorus deficiency is very severe and its availability...

The use of filter media to adsorb phosphorus (P) from nutrient-rich waters is an effective, simple and low-cost method recover reuse P as inorganic fertiliser replacement. Although it assumed that the saturated can be applied cropland a safe replacement, there presently lack information on replacement value (FRV) such products their negative effects plants soil. Therefore, aims this paper were ...

Alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) is an important cellular metabolite that participates in energy production and amino acid metabolism. However, the protective effects and mechanism of AKG on mucosal lesions have not been well understood. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary AKG supplementation on epithelial restitution in early-weaning piglets under Escherichia coli lipopolys...

The nutrient environment experienced by planktonic microorganisms is patchy at spatiotemporal scales commensurate with their motility (μm – cm), and the efficiency with which chemotactic microbes can exploit this heterogeneous seascape influences trophodynamics and nutrient cycling rates in aquatic environments. Yet, methodological limitations have largely prevented direct examinations of micro...

A computer system, called SERVE-NZ Nutririon Management System, for use in diabetes management, addresses the problem of concurrently controlling postprandial glycaemic response and nutrient intake in meals containing a number of foods, is described. It converts the weight and relative glycaemic potency of each food to its content of glycaemic glucose equivalents (GGE) - the amount of glucose t...

Succulent leaves of two accessions Baobab (Odo-Ere and Okoloke) grown under three poultry manure rates (PM) (0, 15 30 t ha-1) were harvested assayed for proximate, mineral, vitamin anti-nutrient compositions using standard analytical procedures in replicated trials. Results the analysis variance revealed a significant (p<0.05) effect accession on some contents leaves. Accession sourced from ...

ABSTRACT- Titanium is a beneficial element for plant since its promotive effect on plant metabolism has been well documented. However, the physiological role of this trace element in tomato is not clear. This experiment was conducted as a complete randomized design to study two concentrations of titanium (1 and 2 mg/L Ti) and 0 as control on physiological and nutrient properties of tomato cv. F...
