Papaya is a tropical fruit with great appreciation by the population, for production of seedlings, substrates appear as importance development, providing seedling in pattern desired producers. The objective was to evaluate effect organic on emergence and development papaya seedlings cv Formosa “mel”. experiment carried out randomized block design, five treatments four replications. Fifty seeds ...

A great number of studies have confirmed that mercury-selenium (Hg-Se) antagonism is a widespread phenomenon in microorganisms, fish, poultry, humans, and other mammals. However, by comparison, little attention has been paid to plants. To investigate the influence of Se on the uptake and translocation of methylHg/inorganic Hg (MeHg/IHg) in the rice-soil system, we determined the levels of Se, I...

The objective of this study was to determine effect of germination on total anthocyanin content (TAC) and antioxidant activity of colored rice (Oryza sativa L). The normal, non-waxy rice variety Phitsanulok 2 was used as a control and two pigmented rice including black glutinous rice (local name Niew Dam), and black non-waxy rice (local name Hom Nil) were used in this study. Rough rice and dehu...

The substrate used in seedling production plays a major role the initial plant development. In this sense, objective was to evaluate emergence capacity and establishment of basil seedlings different proportions alternative substrates based on charred rice husk commercial S10®. experiment carried out expanded polyethylene trays, using seeds (Horticeres seeds®), which lasted 28 days. experimental...

abstract this study was performed in order to determine a suitable alternative substrate for peat in soilless culture in 2007. different plant wastes including carbonized rice hull, saw dust and dry pine leaves (pinus eldarica) were examined. treatments were 100% peat as control, peat plus dry pine leaves (1:1 v/v), peat plus carbonized rice hull (1:1 v/v) and peat plus saw dust (1:1 v/v). the ...

A field experiment on a saline-sodic soil with pH 8.21-8.42, ECe 6.40-7.90 dSm and SAR 17.79-23.46mmolwas carried out using five soil reclaiming treatments viz., leaching (Control), Farm yard manure (FYM) @ 10 tons ha, Rice Husk (RH) @ 10 tons ha, FYM+RH @ 5+5 tons ha and Gypsum @ 100% soil requirement in a complete randomized block design with four replications. Rice variety SARSHAR and wheat ...

Background: Poultry droppings from poultry farms and rice husks obtained from rice milling process are generally considered as wastes and discarded in Nigeria. Although many studies have shown that microbial fuel cells (MFCs) can generate electricity from organic wastes, little or no study have examined MFCs for generating electricity from poultry droppings and rice husk as electrode material. ...
