The carboxypeptidase A family can be divided into two subfamilies: carboxypeptidase H (regulatory) and carboxypeptidase A (digestive). [1] Members of the H family have longer C-termini than those of family A, [2] and carboxypeptidase M (a member of the H family) is bound to the membrane by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor, unlike the majority of the M14 family, which are soluble.
Extensive use of agrochemicals in agricultural practices has been found to cause environmental disturbances and public health hazards affecting food security and sustainability in agriculture. [22] Biofertilizers offers an alternative solution for such agrochemicals, and show yield increase of up to about 10–40% by increasing protein contents ...
Biosolids are solid organic matter recovered from a sewage treatment process and used as fertilizer. [1] In the past, it was common for farmers to use animal manure to improve their soil fertility. In the 1920s, the farming community began also to use sewage sludge from local wastewater treatment plants. Scientific research over many years has ...
Nutrients in the soil are taken up by the plant through its roots, and in particular its root hairs.To be taken up by a plant, a nutrient element must be located near the root surface; however, the supply of nutrients in contact with the root is rapidly depleted within a distance of ca. 2 mm. [14] There are three basic mechanisms whereby nutrient ions dissolved in the soil solution are brought ...
Originally named Coromandel Fertilisers, the company makes fertilizers, pesticides and specialty nutrients. Coromandel International is part of Murugappa Group and a subsidiary of EID Parry, which holds a 62.82% stake in the company. The company was founded in the early 1960s by IMC and Chevron Companies and EID Parry.
The Green Revolution in the late 1960s (or generally, in the second half of the 20th century) [1] introduced farmers to cultivation of food crops using HYV seeds, although their ancestral roots may be older. [2] Compared to the traditional seeds, HYV seeds promise to produce much greater amounts of grain on a single plant.
Biointensive Mini-Farming Journal of Sustainable Agriculture (Vol. 19 (2), 2001, p. 81-83) shows that biointensive methods can enable small-scale farms and farmers to significantly increase food production and income, utilize predominantly local, renewable resources and decrease expense and energy inputs while building fertile topsoil at a rate ...
Zinc is the most widely deficient micronutrient for industrial crop cultivation, followed by boron. Acidifying N fertilizers create micro-sites around the granule that keep micronutrient cations soluble for longer in alkaline soils, but high concentrations of P or C may negate these effects.
