Almost all plant species form symbioses with soil fungi, and nutrient transfer to plants is largely mediated through this partnership. Studies of fungal nutrient transfer to plants have largely focused on the transfer of limiting soil nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorous, by mycorrhizal fungi. However, certain fungal endophytes, such as Metarhizium and Beauveria, are also able to transfe...

abstract- to investigate the effects of bio-chemical and organic fertilizers on yield and seeds npk contents of pumpkin (cucurbita pepo var. styriaca), an experiment was conducted at the research farm of kurdistan university in 2009 growing season. treatments were included 1) control, 2) seeds inoculated with free-living n fixing bacteria (nfb), 3) seeds inoculated with phosphate-solubilizing b...

equatorial/axial conversion in piperidine and phosphorinane with different substituents wereinvestigated with great details. three possible routes, i.e. heteroatom inversion and two ring inversiontype were considered. ring conversion can occur via two pathways one starts with ring flatteningfrom the heteroatom site (nitrogen in piperidine and phosphorous in phosphorinane) and the otherinitiates...

the problem of environmental pollution is of everybody's concern. pollution of zarjoub river in northern iran is most often cause by the uncontrolled disposal of sewage and other wastes resulting from domestic uses of water, industrial wastes containing a variety of pollutants, agricultural affluent from animal husbandry, drainage of irrigation water and urban run-off. a study was carried out t...

Global warming and climate change are the most potent cause of natural disasters like droughts, high temperature, extreme cold in some places, rising ocean level. One important these poor cropping patterns extensive use agrochemicals. These chemical fertilizers increase level salts soil also make acidic. In era modern agriculture pesticides to production food across globe deteriorated original ...

Both nitrate (NO3-N) and ammonia (NH4-N) concentrations are in general highly variable during a lake’s seasonal cycle. During the growing seasonal peak, such concentrations can be very low due mainly to its’ sequestration by phytoplankton. With the aim to study NO3-N and NH4-N mean concentration variation along the increase of the trophic state of lakes, this study simultaneously analyses the i...

The study showed that the open water of the Bothnian Sea (BS) is likely to have shifted from altering nitrogen and phosphorous limitations of the spring bloom to more nitrogen-limited conditions during the last 20 years. This is affected by the by inflow of phosphate-rich and oxygen-depleted water from depths near the halocline in the northern Baltic Proper, where severe oxygen conditions curre...

Communities of plants are thought to grow until they reach some limiting factor such as light, space, available nutrients or other limitation. Very often this limiting factor is a nutrient limitation. Therefore, if plants are provided with the essential nutrient they lack, they will expand their community’s biomass. This phenomenon is well studied in temperate communities. In those ecosystems, ...

abstractin order to evaluate the effect of vermicompost and humic acid on quantitative and qualitative traits of sod turf, a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with three replications was established in research farm in shahrekord university. treatments were vermicompost (zero, 5, 10 and 15 v/v percent) and humic acid (zero, 150 and 250 g/m2), respectively. some traits s...

AIM The study was undertaken to find out the gross composition, nitrogen distribution, and selected mineral content in Surti goat milk, and its comparison was made between cow and buffalo milk. MATERIALS AND METHODS Goat milk samples of Surti breed and buffalo milk samples were collected during the period from July to January 2014 at Reproductive Biology Research Unit, Anand Agricultural Univ...
