SYNERGISTIC EFFECTS OF COAL WASTE DERIVED HUMIC SUBSTANCES AND INORGANIC FERTILIZER AS SOIL AMENDMENTS FOR BARLEY IN SANDY SOIL

Synergistic effects of coal waste derived humic substances and inorganic fertilizer as soil amendments for barley in sandy soil

Increasing pressures on land resources requires increased land use efficiency.Over 900 million ha of sandy soils throughout the world are extensively used for agricultural crop production, most requiring nutrient inputs.Although use of humic substances together with inorganic fertilizer as soil amendments has been introduced, their synergistic effe

Remarkable genetic diversity of Trypanosoma cruzi and Trypanosoma rangeli in two localities of southern Ecuador identified via deep sequencing of mini-exon gene amplicons

Abstract Background Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease, and T.rangeli are kinetoplastid parasites endemic to Latin America.Although closely related to T.cruzi and capable of infecting humans, T.rangeli is non-pathogenic.Both parasite species are transmitted by triatomine bugs, and the presence of T.rangeli constitutes a confou

Green forage yield and yield components of five oilseed rape genotypes (Brassica napus L.) in response to sowing date and harvest stage

Five oilseed rape genotypes were tested at three sowing dates and harvested at two developmental phases to determine their effects on green forage yield and yield Graphic tee components during 2013/14 growing season.The highest density of canopy was observed at the third sowing date (86 - 157 plants/m2 ).Among five genotypes, AbaKus formed the most
