Biochar (BC) was produced by pyrolyzing the date palm leaf waste at 600 C and then loaded with phosphorus (P) via sorption process. Greenhouse pot experiment was conducted to investigate the application effects of BC and P-loaded biochar (BCP) on...
In most arid and semiarid soils, naturally occurring phosphorus (P) is a major yield limiting plant nutrient. In this study, a calcareous sandy loam alkaline soil was fertilized with organic (OP) and inorganic (IP) P sources at low (80 mg P kg−1 ...
Bio-calcite (BC) derived from waste hen eggshell was subjected to thermal treatments (calcined bio-calcite (CBC)). The BC and CBC were further modified via magnesiothermal treatments to produce modified bio-calcite (MBC) and modified calcined bio-...
Engineered organo-mineral composites were synthesized from date palm waste biochar and silica or zeolite via mechanochemical treatments. Date palm tree rachis (leaves) waste biomass was pre-treated with silica or zeolite minerals via ball milling...
Biochar (BC) was produced from date palm tree leaves and its composites were prepared with nano zerovalent iron (nZVI-BC) and hen eggshell powder (EP-BC). The produced BC and its composites were characterized by SEM, XRD, BET, and FTIR for surface...
Purpose Remediation of heavy metals by reducing their mobility and bioavailability without removing them from soils is considered to be a cost-effective and an efficient method to address their toxicity for living organisms and soil health. The main...
In this study, impact of silicon (Si) application on wheat performance under drought stress is studied. Experimental soil was sandy clay loam with an average pH of 8.01, electrical conductivity (EC) of 2.36 dSm−1, and calcium carbonate (CaCO3)...
The biochars (BC) were prepared from date palm waste to investigate the influence of pyrolysis temperature (300–800 °C) on composition and surface chemistry of BC. The results showed that fixed C, ash and basic cations of BC increased while its...
Higher grain Zn concentration is desirable to combat human Zn deficiency. A total of 58 farmers’ fields from were surveyed from districts of Multan and Lodhran to represent cotton-wheat rotation zone of Punjab. Soils were sampled separately from the...
A pot experiment in wire house was conducted to investigate the effect of potassium fertilization on physiology, growth and nutrient uptake of maize. Surface soil samples were collected and analyzed for soil physico-chemical properties and NPK...
Effects of organic manures on grain yield and yield components of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivar Minthar-03 were studied at (RARI) Regional Agricultural Research Institute Bahawalpur, Pakistan, during 2010-2011 seasons in chemistry division....
