introduction in agricultural ecosystems, organic fertilizers play an important role in producing sustainable agricultural production. considering this sajjadi nik et al (2011) reported that with increasing of vermicompost inoculation with nitroxin biofertilizer, capsule number per sesame plant increased, so that the most of capsule number per plant (124.7) was observed in 10 t/h vermicompost wi...

in order to evaluate the effect of different sources and rates of nitrogen the growth and biomass production of purslane, a randomized complete block design was conducted with three replications at the agricultural research farm of shahrekord university in 2012. fertilization treatments were consisted of control (no n amendment), 30 and 90 kg n ha-1in the form of urea fertilizer, 30 and 90 kg n...

In laboratory studies performed in the United States and Hungary, the dump fly Hydrotaea aenescens (Wiedemann) was reared successfully in manure of 1- to 8-wk-old dairy calves, and in manure from adult lactating dairy cows. Survival in manure collected from 1-wk-old calves was poor (7.2%), better in manure collected from 2- and 3-wk-old calves (53.5%), and best in manure collected from 4- to 8-...

Problem statement: Rapid urbanization and population growth are largely responsible for very high increasing rate of solid waste in the urban areas, its proper management and recycling is major problems of Municipal Corporation. Conversion of industrial wastes in to beneficial vermicompost not only solves solid waste accumulation but also yield highly nutritive organic manure. Approach: Enhanci...

This study aims to design a smart closed reactor of vermicomposting convert sewage sludge and any organic waste high-quality vermicompost. In this design, all aspects growth reproduction Eisenia Fetida worms, such as aeration, temperature, light, moisture, were considered. We analyzed the physicochemical, bacterial, microstructural produced vermicompost rate worms in substrate 70% sludge, 20% c...

Gravid mosquito traps are commonly used for both arbovirus surveillance and population surveillance of mosquitoes of the genus Culex. Oviposition substrates, used as baits in these traps, were tested against Culex under laboratory and field conditions. In the laboratory all substrates tested as 1% and 10% dilutions in 2-choice bioassays against female Cx. quinquefasciatus were significantly mor...
