Using the methods of soil analysis and geostatistics combined with GIS, this paper determined and mapped the spatial distribution of soil DTPA-extractable copper (Cu) in cultivated fields of Shenyang suburbs of China, aimed to assess the roles of industries and agricultural managements in affecting the spatial heterogeneity of soil Cu in this region. The results showed that the soil DTPA-extrac...

Cumulative evidence indicates the relevance of cocoa in modulation cardiometabolic diseases. Nevertheless, pure may be rejected by many consumers due to its bitter taste. Carob (Ceratonia siliqua L.) is a Mediterranean legume with pods rich dietary fibre and polyphenols. In this study, carob flour was combined cocoa, obtain blend which subjected nutritional evaluation (proximate composition, ca...

An urgent task of today for grape growers is to find effective ways achieve the compliance conditional parameters phenolic ripeness grapes while maintaining high cropping capacity. In this study influence foliar treatment with nitrogen-containing preparations "Siamino Pro 500" on productivity and maturity ‘Cabernet-Sauvignon’ variety was investigated. Studies were carried out during 2018-2019. ...

Corn distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) has high feed value due to its nutritive contents. The ratio of wet distillers grains (WDG) and condensed distillers solubles (CDS) added during the production ...

Traditionally, soil-testing laboratories have used a variety of methods to determine soil organic matter, yet they lack a practical method to predict potential N mineralization/immobilization from soil organic matter. Soils with high microbial activity may experience N immobilization (or reduced net N mineralization), and this issue remains unresolved in how to predict these conditions of net m...

The highest extractable concentration in the artificial sweat fluid was observed for Ba (120mg/kg; d.w.). The highest extractable concentration in the artificial gastric fluid was observed for Al (9030mg/kg; d.w.). Furthermore, the extractable concentrations of Ba (550mg/kg; d.w.) and Zn (400mg/kg: d.w.) in the bottom ash using artificial gastric fluid were elevated. The extractable concentrati...

in order to know the environmental behaviour of toxic pollutants it is fundamental to understandthe role of chemical components of a material on sorption of such pollutants.in this study, the sorption of amix of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) by cork fractions (i.e. raw cork (cf), free extractive cork(fef) and nonsaponifiable (desf)) has been investigated to better understand the role ...
