OBJECTIVE Lime has a long history as a contraceptive and vaginal hygiene douche, and ongoing use in Africa is documented. We report on the first safety study on diluted lime juice to assess its potential as a candidate microbicide. METHODS Twenty-five sexually abstinent women were randomly assigned to apply a 10% or 20% concentration of lime juice or 0% (water-only) through a soaked tampon on...

Corn stover was pretreated with lime and shock, a mechanical process that uses a shockwave to alter the biomass structure. Two pretreatments (lime-only and lime + shock) were evaluated using enzymatic hydrolysis, batch mixed-culture fermentations, and continuous countercurrent mixed-culture fermentation. In a 120-h enzymatic hydrolysis, shock pretreatment increased the glucan digestibility of s...

Lime is an important commercial product in tropical and subtropical regions, where drought stress becoming one of the most severe environmental challenges agricultural sector. Melatonin antioxidant molecule that helps plants regulate their development respond to a variety stresses. In this research, effects exogenous melatonin treatments were evaluated at different concentrations (0, 50, 100, 1...

It is important to develop a new convenient and environmentally-friendly technology of liming for sustainable rice production on acidic soil area. Thus, an experiment was conducted evaluate the effect application methods rate lime properties yield. The results showed that similar ameliorating agricultural were found between massive quicklime powered hydrated lime. Interestingly, optimized signi...

The soils of Indian Black Cotton are well-known examples Expansive soils, which display significant swelling and shrinkage in response to changes moisture content. distressing cyclical shrinking under fluctuations lead serious failures. Stabilization soil can be used improve it order get around this. An agricultural industrial waste called rice husk ash is created when husk, a byproduct paddy m...

Lime mortar is as old human civilization.

In this paper lime of 1:3 ratio Agricultural complex (NPKS) urea and Super phosphate percentages such 1, 2, 3, 4 5 studied. Commercial available market was...

In the western United States, sugar beet processing for sugar recovery generates a lime-based waste product (∼250,000 Mg yr) that has little liming value in the region's calcareous soils. This area has recently experienced an increase in dairy production, with dairies using copper (Cu)-based hoof baths to prevent hoof diseases. A concern exists regarding soil Cu accumulation because spent hoof ...
