The present research set a goal of study applicability the expanded perlite obtained on basis – natural mineral Georgia, from adsorption removal Fe3+ ions aqueous solution. Adsorptive characteristics have been studied in process solution purification trivalent iron regard to adsorbent dosage, contact time, adsorbate concentration and pH. dependence degree adsorptive capacity above-mentioned par...

Galia-type muskmelons are the leading melon for consumer choice in Europe. The melon generally sells for U.S. $2 to $4 each and although Galia is currently found in some United States markets, it does not always possess the high quality consistent with that found in European markets. Achieving constant, high quality production has not been possible under normal field production in Florida, but ...

The risk of global water crisis is becoming more evident due to the increase in overall urban population and reduction freshwater availability. Treated greywater using greenwall technology was identified as a potential method produce for non-potable applications. filtering media acts growing plants filtration medium. In this study, pollutant removal efficiency environmental impacts associated w...

To Select an appropriate medium for the growth of plant is one of the problems of most greenhouse owners in production of pot ornamentals. So, current research was conducted to evaluate effect of some available media in mixtured by perlite on the growth of pothos. Study was based on a completely randomized design with 5 treatments, 8 measuring times and 6 replications in a fiberglass greenhouse...

Oxygen deficiency can occur even in well-aerated substrates as the result of various factors. In crops grown in perlite bags, where perlite is wrapped in a polyethylene film with little surface open to the atmosphere, the dissolved oxygen concentration ([O2]) may be depleted quite rapidly at high growth rates and high substrate temperatures. This situation may occur in spring cycles of greenhou...

this experiment was designed to characterize the effects of size and concentration of an iranian clinoptilolite zeolite on the growth officus benjamina (starlight) in peat base media. ficus benjamina was stock rooted and grown in a peat consisting perlite (2: 1 v/v) (p: pe), zeolite (10, 20, 30 and 40 v/v %, two sizes 0.5-3 mm and 3-8 mm) instead of peat in p: pe (2: 1 v/v) media. ficus benjami...

The work aimed to study all the possible factors affecting efficiency of plant propagation via stem cuttings. Several factors including type of cutting, culture medium, type and concentration of growth regulators were investigated. These factors were studied on Ficus hawaii as woody tree and Chrysanthemum morifolium as herbaceous plant to investigate the effect of plant type factor. All experim...
