ABSTRACT- Over the past 50 years, oil mulching has been a common technique for sand dune stabilization in the southwest of Iran (Khuzestan province). However, concerns over the release of heavy metals from oil mulching have led to the search for alternative mulches that are capable of stabilizing sand dunes without environmental hazards. This study investigates the feasibility of using sugarcan...

Wind erosion is considered a major global environmental problem. Dust storms from the migration of sand dunes can seriously damage civil, industrial, and agricultural areas and a method to stabilize these sand dunes is mulching. The present study investigates the feasibility of using organic wastes of Press mud and Dunder with clay for the production of environmentally-friendly mulches. Sandy s...

Thermo-chemical pre-treatment improves the solubilization of the lignocellulosic biomass. Therefore, it could improve biogas production from press mud, the solid residue from sugar cane juice filtration which contains up to 85 % insoluble organic matter. The impact of thermo-alkaline pretreatment conditions (100 o C, Ca(OH)2) on press mud was investigated for different times and concentrations,...

A field investigation was carried out in Factorial Randomized Block Design during autumn 2018 at agricultural farm, Rajiv Gandhi South Campus, Barkachha, Mirzapur (RGSC), Banaras Hindu University (U.P.) to investigate the impact of fertiliser and biofertilizer on nutrient uptake by green gram (V. radiata L.) plant grain under guava (P. guvajava trees. The twelve year old orchard established Aug...

In drilling operation the design of a proper mud weight to avoid any instability’s is important. A low mud weight may cause breakouts around the borehole whereas a high mud weight can fracture the formation. Mud weight design is based on two main factors: the mechanical properties of formations being drilled and the state of in-situ stresses in the field. While drilling in soft formations are t...
