Calocybe indica is well known for its nutritional value, longer shelf life and ability to grow in warm humid climatic conditions. Casing material plays an important role cultivation yield determination. The present study explored the impact of different casing on biological efficiency (BE) indica. Here, we have used eight types sterilized thorough formalin, tunnel pasteurization autoclave metho...

This paper reports a soil-based bioassay of rice husk bio-ash impacts on redox properties and rice production. Bio-ash was produced during the pyrolytic process of rice husk as a boiler fuel, after which it was applied as an amendment to a flooded soil. Bio-ash was amended before rice transplanting at different mass rates including 0%, 0.1%, 1% and 5%, which was defined as T1, T2, T3, and T4 re...

PURPOSE To evaluate the biocompatibility and local sensibility reaction to bacterial cellulose hydrogel (0.8%) implanted in subcutaneous tissue of rabbits. METHODS Fifteen New Zeland rabbits were randomly allocated into three groups: T1, 7 days, T2, 21 days, and T3, 84 days. The new material was implanted in the subcutaneous tissue of the ear; on the scalp over the periosteum; and on the oute...

paddy rice residue covers more than 60000 ha of the khuzestan plain. high soil moisture content (low evaporation and heavy soil texture), time limitations, and the likelihood of rainfall make conventional tillage methods unsuitable for wheat cultivation after the rice harvest. the present study investigated the best residue management method, and fuel and time savings, to produce acceptable yie...

Thiacloprid is a new insecticide of the chloronicotinyl family. To assess its risk after application, residual characteristics of thiacloprid in marjoram, thyme, and camomile and in soil were studied under field conditions. The active ingredient was extracted from the plant material using a mixture of acetone-water. After filtration, the extract was concentrated to the aqueous phase, diluted wi...

Soil moisture plays a critical role in the surface energy balance at the soil-atmosphere interface [4]. Using radar backscattering to retrieve soil moisture is a method of major concern due to its sensitivity to soil moisture [14] [15].In the past decades, many empirical, semi-empirical and physical models that relate the measured 0 to volumetric soil moisture mv have been carried out[14][15]. ...

We tested the hypothesis that amendments of two hydrophilic gels to a sand soil would reduce N leaching losses and increase growth of citrus seedlings. Three-month-old seedlings of ̒ Swingle ̓citrumelo [Citrus paradisi Macf. xPoncirus trifoliata (L.) Raf.] were transplanted into containers of steam-sterilized Candler sand, amended with a linear acrylamide/acrylate copolymer (PAM), and/or a cross...

This study evaluated the use of hydrogel on development Rapanea ferruginea under water restriction through Vibrational Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR-UATR). Seedlings approximately 30 cm height were transferred in pots with 3 L soil. The group seedlings was separated into 5 different triplicate treatments according to amount hydrogel, as follows: H1 (25%), H2 (20%), H3 (15%), H4 ...

Our aim is to estimate Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) observables, such as backscatter in VV and VH polarizations, well the VH/VV ratio, cross-ratio (CR), interferometric coherence VV, from agricultural fields. In this study, we use Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT) crop growth simulation model simulate parcel-level phenological parameters over 1500 parcels of silage m...
