1.1 IntroductionSchematically, a soil is made up of a solid, mineral and organic phase, aliquid phase and a gas phase. The physical and chemical characteristics ofthe solid phase result in both marked variability of water contents and avarying degree of resistance to the elimination of moistu[r]

A two year field study was conducted at RRS, Paiyur to study the influence of co inoculation of biofertilizers viz., Rhizobium, Phosphobacteria and VAM on soil microflora, plant biometric observation and yield parameters at periodical interval.

India is a developing nation practicing intensive agriculture for fulfilling the needs of more than eighteen million peoples, for which huge and imbalance amount of fertilizer has been used. Consequently, soil quality deteriorates and inevitable loss of soil microbial diversity. In recent years zeol[r]

Soil properties are sensitive to changes in the soil environment as influenced by vegetation, climate and inputs and losses of biomass and nutrients. Thus, the cropping systems with different management practices are likely to influence soil properties. Grid based soil survey was conducted in Mudhol[r]

The Beanblossom Bottoms Nature Preserve is a high quality hardwood wetland ownedby the Sycamore Land Trust. The latitude and longitude of this site are North 39 16.612 andWest 86 34.713 respectively (Cyberindiana 2011). The Beanblossom Bottoms Nature Preserveused to be a farm land. According to the[r]

What is evaluation?
Evaluation = a matter of judging the fitness of something for a particular purpose
Why evaluate materials?
To identify how successful the materials used in the classroom are.
To examine whether the materials fulfill the prescribed course
To examine the extent to which materials[r]

Topic: What are the ways to protect the environment?Earth is warming due to pollution, so we need to protect the environment to protect own habitat. Protecting the environment can be divided into three main ways: planting trees, not using plastic bags and travelling by public transports. Firstly, pl[r]

This experiment was carried out to investigate the stabilizing influence organic amendments on soil reaction and micronutrient availability. Three different soil types (viz. acid, neutral and sodic soil) were considered for our experiment to represent soils of the whole country. Soils were incubated[r]
