Drought stress is a major environmental stress that restricts plant growth and production in the majority of agricultural fields of the world. The application of different fertilizers, especially biofertilizers and organic fertilizers, might play an important role in the production of medicinal plants in order to improve their resistance to deficit water stress. In order to evaluate the effects...

The study was carried out for two consecutive years (2005-06 to 2006-07) to evaluate the wheat response to five different levels (0, 4, 8, 12 and 16 kg ha) of manganese (Mn) alongwith 150-100-60 kg NPK ha application. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three repeats under irrigated conditions at Agriculture Research Farm Karor, District Layyah. NPK was a...

The study was conducted to investigate the use of Triple Super Phosphate (TSP) as a source of phosphorus in growing cattle. Twelve indigenous growing bull (initial live weight of 150 ± 10 kg) were assigned to four dietary treatments, viz. basal diet (T0) containing 0.14% P and basal diet was supplemented with TSP to provide P levels of 0.24 (T1), 0.35 (T2) and 0.45% (T3) respectively. All diets...

1. Extracts of Escherichia coli A.T.C.C. 9723 and K(12)703 contain serine transacetylase and O-acetylserine sulphhydrase. Synthesis of the latter enzyme is repressed by growth on l-cyst(e)ine and other sulphur compounds. 2. O-Acetyl-l-serine added to cells growing on glutathione or sulphate as source of sulphur induces the enzymes that catalyse (a) the activation of sulphate to adenosine 3'-pho...

The effect of magnesium sulphate in releasing calcium emission from interference by phosphate and sulphate has been investigated. Samples were diluted in 10 mM MgSO(4), 2 mM NaCl, giving final calcium concentrations of about 0.05 to 0.10 mM. In this diluent, galvanometer readings were proportional to calcium concentrations up to 0.4 mM. The magnesium sulphate released calcium emission from depr...

Objective: To develop a simple and cheap UV spectrophotometric method for the quantitative estimation of Indinavir sulphate (400mg) in capsules and validate as per ICH guidelines. Methods: The optimized method uses a diluent 100% potassium dihydrogen ortho phosphate buffer (pH 4.0) for the estimation of assay of Indinavir sulphate whose λmax is 259 nm. Results: The developed method resulted in ...

The field experiment was conducted at ICAR- National Institute on Abiotech Stress Management, Baramati to study the effect of different sources and levels sulphur soil nutrient availability, yield, quality uptake bellary onion. consists 14 treatments replicated thrice in randomized block design. treatment combinations viz: elemental sulphur, potassium schoenite ammonium sulphate three @ 30, 45 ...

abstract the increasing of yield per unit area is usually achievable by improving the soil fertility level through using (chemical) fertilizers. the purpose of the present research was to evaluate the 6 extraction methods including olsen, morgan, ammonium bicarbonate-dtpa, colwel, bray and mehlich 3 in order to specify a suitable extractant(s) for estimating available phosphorus through using 2...
