Manganese is an important essential micronutrient, and its deficiency causes latent health issues in humans. Agronomic biofortification can promisingly improve the plant nutrient concentration without changing genetic makeup of plants. This study was designed to assess best method Mn application enhance productivity grain contents under conventional tillage (CT) no (NT) systems. delivered throu...

Oxamyl coated on soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr. cv. Elgin) seeds in solutions of 20, 40, 80, and 160 mg/ml had no serious deleterious effects on seedling emergence and growth when planted in sterile soil. Seedling emergence on day 3 was less than that of the uncoated control, but by day 7 emergence was equal to, or greater than, the control. Shoot and root growth from seed coated with oxamyl i...

Nanosized TiO2 particles were prepared by sol–gel method. The TiO2 particles were co-deposited with chromium using electrodeposition technique. In investigating of coating surfaces by scanning electron microscope (SEM), the results showed that the morphology of the coating surface was changed by adding TiO2 nanoparticles to the chromium coating. The corrosion behavior of the coatings was assess...

We obtain improved asymptotic solutions to the spin-coating with small evaporation model. In particular, the spinning of a solute-free fluid, and a two-component solvent–solute solution are studied. In addition, the non-negligible effect of the rise of solute concentration on the solution viscosity at the end of the spin-coating process is considered. 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

The formulation for the radiation pattern and conductance of axial slots array antenna on a dielectriccoated elliptic cylinder is presented. The coating is assumed to be non-confocal. The analytical solution, given here, is based on the eigen function technique and the addition theorem of Mathieu functions. The excited apertures are assumed to generate a TM polarized wave. Accordingly, the obta...

background and objectives: different trichoderma species play role as suitable alternative for chemical fertilizers and successful biological tool in stable agriculture. these microorganisms show rivalry in food and place sources. they establish in the rhizosphere of most agricultural and non-agricultural plants via producing spores. they also could induce resistance in plants. these properties...

The authors evaluated the effectiveness of ReJeX-iT@ AG-145, Mesurola, activated charcoal, lime, and fipronil to reduce homed lark damage to lettuce seeds and seedlings. In Experiment 1, homed larks consumed significantly more feed mixture (50:50 grains and lettuce seed) than untreated clay-coated lettuce seed in a three-day choice-test. In Experiment 2, where clay-coated lettuce seed was treat...

A β-Ta nanocrystalline coating was engineered onto a Ti-6Al-4V substrate using a double cathode glow discharge technique to improve the corrosion resistance and bioactivity of this biomedical alloy. The new coating has a thickness of ~40 μm and exhibits a compact and homogeneous structure composed of equiaxed β-Ta grains with an average grain size of ~22 nm, which is well adhered on the substra...
