carnation is considered as the world's third most important cut flower. tissue culture techniques offer suitable method for micropropagation of this ornamental plant. however, one of the problems during in vitro culture of carnation is vitrification. ratio of ammonium to nitrate and agar concentrations in the medium affect this phenomenon. therefore, in this study the effect of these factors on...

Lambir Hills National Park in Malaysian Borneo is composed of dipterocarp tree species which specialize on different soil types. Although the mechanisms contributing to this distribution of tree species are unknown, one hypothesis is that tree species at Lambir differ in their preferences for different nitrogen forms. In this study we investigated (1) whether clay soil and sandy loam soil types...

The article studies the process of obtaining carbonate-ammonium nitrate (CAN) based on mixing melt ammonium (NH4NO3) with chalk (СаСО3) and sulfate (NH4)2SO4). For granulation nitrate-sulfate-carbonate prilling method is applied using a tower. Determined composition properties new types fertilizers. It shown that ratio NH4NO3 : СаСО3 (NH4)2SO4 = 100 24 1 product contains 28,03% N, SO3 – 0,50%, ...

Free ammonium in industries wastewater could be one of the worst toxic contaminants of aquatic life if diluted in water. Biological nitrogen removal (BNR) is the most common method for removing ammonium and nitrate from wastewater. Attached growth and suspended growth are the main BNR systems. The aim of the present work was to study the treatment of petrochemical wastewater (ammonium and nitra...

Synthesis of wild-type Neurospora crassa assimilatory nitrate reductase is induced in the presence of nitrate ions and repressed in the presence of ammonium ions. Effects of several Neurospora mutations on the regulation of this enzyme are shown: (i) the mutants, nit-1 and nit-3, involving separate lesions, lack reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADPH)-nitrate reductase activity and at...

in this study the effect of nitrogen form and different oxygen levels on growth and development and macronutrients concentrations in lettuce plants was investigated. this investigation showed that sole ammonium application caused fresh and dry weight reduction of shoot and root in lettuce plant. but different oxygen levels had no effect on them. nitrogen concentration of shoot was higher in amm...

In the manufacturing of ammonium nitrate, a condensate containing ammonia and ammonium nitrate is obtained. The concentrations of these species are in practically all cases too high for direct discharge into a water recipient. At some plants, some of the dilute ammonium nitrate solution can be spread out on adjacent farmland, as it is a fertilizer, but commonly, nitric acid is added to this str...

this research carried out in the rafsanjan pistachio orchard to investigate the effect of n form, manure, k and fe on yield, nut quality and leaf mineral nutrients concentrations of pistacia vera l. cv. fandoghi grafted on badami-riz zarand rootstock. the experiment was as factorial with four factors including; manure (without manure and 10 kg tree-1 sheep manure), n form (ammonium sulfate and ...

Nitrogen fertilizer in the form of urea is subject to ammonia volatilization through the activity of the urease enzyme found ubiquitously in soil (Kissel et al., 2008). Nitrate fertilizer is subject to leaching (Randall et al., 2008) or denitrification (Coyne, 2008), depending on the water content of the soil and water movement through the soil. Ammonium forms of N can be fixed (Kissel et al., ...
