In the present paper, new environmental-friendly fertilizer components were produced in biosorption process by the enrichment of the biomass with zinc, essential in plant cultivation. The obtained new preparations can be used as controlled release micronutrient fertilizers because microelements are bound to the functional groups present in the cell wall structures of the biomass. It is assumed ...

The soils in Pakistan across 22 Mha cultivated area are predominantly alluvial and loessal, alkaline in pH, calcareous and low in organic matter. These factors are mainly responsible for nutrient fixation in soil and low availability to plants. Zinc (Zn) deficiency in Pakistan was the first micronutrient disorder recognised in early 1970s as a cause of hadda disease in rice. After identificatio...

The concentration of boron, an essential micronutrient for plants, presents a narrow range between deficiency and toxicity. In order to provide the boron requirement for plants, and to avoid toxicity problems, boron compounds are mixed with basic fertilizers. Sodium borate pentahydrate was used as a boron source. Ammonium orthophosphates fertilizers with boron were prepared by neutralizing phos...

The aim of the research was to improve technology for production winter wheat in Central Chernozem Region (CChR) by increasing efficiency application modern micronutrient fertilizers conjunction with seed disinfectants and foliar dressing. To achieve this goal, representative FSBSI Kursk Federal Agricultural Research Center participation specialists Machine Testing Station developed a conducted...

sunflower (helianthus annus l.) is the most important between oil plants in iran. the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of micronutrients application on the sunflower yield under drought stress. this experiment was carried out at golmakan agriculture research station (iran) in 2005 that using a split plot randomized complete block design with four replications. irrigation was ...
