Biochar‐based fertilizers increase crop yields in acidic tropical soils

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Depletion of soil organic carbon and nutrients creates mounting challenges for agricultural production in tropical regions, putting livelihoods and food security at risk. Biochar‐based fertilizer (BBF) has been suggested as a tool to maintain yields while concurrently improving soil organic carbon content and related soil functions. This study

Boron deficiency responses in maize (Zea mays L.) roots

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Background Boron (B) is an essential micronutrient for plants. Dicot plants respond to insufficient B supply by altering root architecture and root hair growth. How root systems of rather low‐B demanding monocot species such as maize (Zea mays L.) respond to B deficiency in terra has not been experimentally resolved, yet.

Bioethanol production from fruit waste using a microbial co‐culture of Bacillus siamensis F2 and Candida albicans GP1

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract This study explores the sustainable valorization of fruit waste (FW) for bioethanol production using a consolidated bioprocess (CBP) that combines fermentation and enzymatic hydrolysis in a single step. A co‐culture of Bacillus siamensis F2 (a multienzyme producer) and Candida albicans GP1 (a fermentative yeast) was employed to maximize ...

Efeitos da aplicação de zinco no desenvolvimento, no estado nutricional e na produção de matéria seca de mudas de maracujazeiro Effects of the zinc application on the development, nutritional status and dry matter production of passion fruit cuttings

Revista Brasileira de Fruticultura, 2004
Sabe-se que os solos das regiões tropicais, devido ao intemperismo, apresentam baixas concentrações de micronutrientes, especialmente zinco. Desse modo, objetivou-se avaliar a aplicação de zinco ao substrato de produção de mudas de maracujazeiro ...

Fate of micronutrients and heavy metals in digestate processing using vibrating reversed osmosis as resource recovery technology [PDF]

, 2019
This study aims to evaluate the full-scale performance of vibrating membrane filtration (VSEP) technology in resource recovery from the liquid fraction of digestates, while reducing macronutrient concentrations down to dischargeable water.

Effects of aging, climatic, physical factors, and site on quality parameters of the bark of black wattle (Acacia mearnsii de Wild.)

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Black wattle (Acacia mearnsii De Wild.) is a key tree crop in South Africa, valued for its bark and timber, both of which contribute significantly to export revenue. Wattle bark harvesting begins with the rainy season in September and extends to May. During this time, harvested bark is transported to three processing facilities.

Vitamins and Perinatal Outcomes Among HIV-Negative Women in Tanzania. [PDF]

, 2007
Prematurity and low birth weight are associated with high perinatal and infant mortality, especially in developing countries. Maternal micronutrient deficiencies may contribute to these adverse outcomes. In a double-blind trial in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania,

Closing the nutrient loop between urban and rural areas: a case study analyzing the technical potential of recycling fertilizers from urban biorefineries

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract The world's population is expected to grow rapidly, with the vast majority of people living in urban areas. Closing nutrient loops is therefore increasingly important for food security and environmental stability. In Germany however, the current treatment of organic and green waste and sewage sludge (derived from wastewater) includes ...
