Abstract A field study was carried out to determine the influence of foliage applied plant growth promoter and retardant in improving soil sulphur fertilizer use efficiency cotton during two consecutive summers 2014 2015. Experimental trial comprised three different sources (ammonium sulphate, potassium sulphate elemental sulphur) foliar spray including tap water taken as control. Among treatme...

Dissimilatory reduction of sulphate by sulphate-reducing bacteria in the rumen produces sulphide, which can lead to a build-up of the toxic gas hydrogen sulphide (H2S) in the rumen when increased concentrations of sulphate are consumed by ruminants. We hypothesised that adding ferric Fe would competitively inhibit ruminal sulphate reduction. The effects of five concentrations and two sources (f...

introduction: citrus are one of the important orchard fruit production that after banana is second in production at the world level and every year, chemical fertilizers having most important role in increasing crops productions, but in long application of fertilizers cause soil destructions and polluting underground water. also soils of dry regions are very poor in organic matter level. nowaday...

In the present study Kluyveromyces marxianus isolated from paneer whey was employed for biomass production. Various parameters like pH, temperature and nitrogen source were optimized for maximum biomass yield. The biomass yield was studied to vary with different nitrogen sources, pH and temperature. Ammonium sulphate, ammonium nitrate, beef extract and yeast extract were used as nitrogen source...

Chemically speciated concentrations of PM2.5 (sulphate, ammonium, nitrate, elemental and organic carbon) were simulated in south-west Europe using the three-dimensional air quality model CAMx driven by the MM5meteorological model. The inner domain covered the south-west region of Spain with a high spatial (2 km 2 km) and temporal resolution (1 h). The simulation results were evaluated against e...

A procedure for calibrating the temperature scale of a DSC is described. A different calibration trend was obtained using the transition points of organic compounds compared to that found using the melting points of highly pure metals. The crystal-crystal transitions of three ammonium salts were studied by this method; ammonium dihydrogen phosphate and ammonium sulphate were found to be suitabl...
