Green fluorescent protein-labeled Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis were inoculated at 10(7) CFU/g into cow, hog, or chicken manure. Ten- or 11-day-old soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens L.) (7 to 10 g) were added to the manure and held at 23, 27, or 32 degrees C for 3 to 6 days. Soldier fly larvae accelerated inactivation of E. coli O157:H7 in chicken manu...

Oil drill cuttings are challenging wastes in oil sites especially in Khuzestan province, a major oil producing region in Iran. As co- composting is a simple and eco- friendly technique for bioremediation of oil base drill cutting, this data article designed to describe co- composting of oil base drill cutting with cow manure. The data suggest that with optimized mixture of cow manure/oily drill...

in order to investigate effect of organic manure and super absorbent on physiological and biochemical traits of potato (solanum tubersum, cv marfona), a split plot experiment was conducted as randomized complete block design with three replications at research farm, agriculture college, university of razi in 2010. main factor included two levels of super absorbent a200 (0 and 70 kg/ha,) and spl...

in order to study the effects of single and combined applications of biofertilazer and organic fertilizers on quantitative and qualitative characteristics of anisum (pimpinella anisum), an experiment was conducted based on a randomized complete block design with three replications and fifteen treatments at research station, faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran, in 2011 y...

BACKGROUND: Vermicompost has many characteristics such as high porosity, ventilation and proper drainage, high moisture absorption and maintenance power, high uptake level for water and food stuffs, and its use in sustainable agriculture is very useful to improve soil porosity and thus more availability of nutrient elements required by plants. Manure plays an important role in ...

the effects of poultry manure and cow dung in comparison with the nematicide, carbofuran on the yield of okra infested with root-knot nematode meloidogyne incognita race 2 were investigated. two plots of 17×11 m, each naturally infested with the mentioned nematode, were selected for the study. treatments were poultry manure and cow dung each at the rates of 5 and 10 t ha-1, carbofuran 3g at the...

in this study, the effect of hole mulching application of zn and mn on acacia, elm, and plane nutrition was examined in the green spaces of isfahan. three different sites were chosen in a randomized complete block design using six treatments of: 1. cow manure compost, 2. cow manure vermicompost, 3. urban waste compost, 4. urban waste vermicompost, 5. dug hole refilled with the same soil coming ...

this study aimed to investigate the effects of tow nanoparticles (nps) on the absorption,accumulation, reproduction of the eisenia fetida. a 4×2×2 factorial experiment in a randomized completeblock design with three replications was conducted. the factors included in the experiment are the content ofnps at four levels (0, 0.4, 0.8, and 1.2gr/kg weight of substrate), the type of nps at two level...
