BACKGROUND Interception by plant residues is a major process affecting pesticide persistence and leaching in conservation agriculture. Dissipation of S-metolachlor glyphosate was studied repacked soil columns covered with mulch maize lablab residues. The were submitted to two contrasting simulated rainfall regimes: one light but frequent rain (LF) less more intense (HI). In both treatments, received the same amount rainwater end experiment. RESULTS Decomposing crop on surface retained than...

Cement Mill merupakan tempat proses penggilingan terakhir semen. di Pabrik Tuban menggunakan tipe Vertical Roller yang produk dari Loesche. Salah satu paramtere penting perlu diperhatikan adalah vibrasi. Kecepatan vibrasi tinggi dapat merusak suatu equipment sehingga harus dibatasi mengacu pada manual book Loesche yaitu tidak boleh lebih 16 mm/s. Oleh karena itu diperlukan penambahan program sensor pruftechnik ke Distributed Control Sistem (DCS) cement mill sebagai safety device. Kemudian...

Microalgae-based wastewater treatment systems (AWWTS) have recently shown promise in the mitigation of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) from municipal (MWW). However, due to large number ARGs that exist MWW, use indirect conventional water quality parameters monitor reduction would make process less burdensome and economically affordable. In order establish a robust relationship between parameters, current study employed different microalgae strains monoculture (CM2, KL10) multi-species...

Unavailability of balanced nutrients in nutrient-deficient soils is the key reason reduced yields spring maize. After application to soil, most phosphorus (80–90%) lost environment because runoff losses and chemically bonding. So, this makes unavailable for plant use. However, soil microorganisms may provide a biological rescue system which able solubilize soil-bound (p). Keeping view, present study designed meet following objectives; (1) improve physico-chemical properties (e.g., water...

In recent decades, heavy metals (HMs) have emerged as a global health concern. Unfortunately, in Pakistan, there is general lack of awareness regarding the potential risks associated with HMs pollution among automobile workers. Herein, we investigated concentration such lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and chromium (Cr) workers who were occupationally exposed Mingora City, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Three different groups, i.e., battery recyclers, spray painters, mechanics studied detail. A total...

Phosphorus, an essential element for life, is continuously depleting from soils and thus demands sustainable management particularly in agriculture forestry. Inorganic P constitutes the major proportion as tricalcium phosphate of lower Himalayan region Pakistan. We sampled these screened P-solubilizing microbes. A range culturable microbial community (bacteria fungi) was isolated molecularly characterized which make available mineral phosphates. There increase abundance solubilizing bacteria...
