potato is one of the sensitive plants to drought stress and it is one of the main crops in the north regions of fars province. since the planting time is simultaneous with wheat irrigation period, due consideration should be given to reduce irrigation consumption for this crop. this research investigated the effect of potassium sulfate on the drought tolerance of potatoes. field experiment was ...

The crystal structure of the title compound, K+.C6H4NO6S-, is built up from p-nitrophenyl sulfate anions and potassium cations. Adjacent anions form dimers, which are linked together in a three-dimensional network via short C-H...O contacts. The coordination sphere of the K+ ions may be described as a distorted square antiprism. The crystal structure is further stabilized by pi-pi stacking inte...

Simple and efficient methods for concentrating Rift Valley fever (RVF) virus and chikungunya (CHIK) virus are described. Ammonium sulfate, potassium sulfate, or alcohol was used as a precipitating agent and the precipitate was resuspended to volumes suitable for further processing and purification. The methods permitted concentration of live RVF virus and CHIK virus about 100-fold with negligib...

this study was conducted to explore the effects of drought stress and different levels of potassium sulfate on yield and yield attributes of grain sorghum at agriculture and natural resources research station of sistan during year of 2009. treatments were arranged in a split-plot lay out based on a randomized complete block design with three levels of drought stress as main plot (irrigation at ...

The title compound, K(4)[Mo(VI)O(2)(SO(4))(3)], was precipitated from a melt of molybdenum(VI) oxide and potassium sulfate in potassium disulfate. The compound contains monomeric [Mo(VI)O(2)(SO(4))(3)](4-) anions, with the Mo(VI) atom, both oxide ligands, and the S atom and both ligating O atoms of the bidentate sulfate group lying on a crystallographic mirror plane. One of the potassium cation...

The polyelectrolyte nature of chondroitin sulfate and related polysaccharides suggests they may bind cations. Since chondroitin sulfate is an extracellular component of mammalian connective tissue, the binding properties of this polyelectrolyte for cations may be of significance in the distribution and storage of extracellular cations. In disease states in which sodium is known to play a major ...
