Influence of Planting Dates on NPK Composition in Soybean Cultivars: A Comparative Analysis | Chapter 10 | Current Research Progress in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 2

 

The present study explores the influence of planting dates on NPK composition in soybean cultivars, conducting a comparative analysis across various planting schedules. Legumes provide a protein-rich source of food which is an essential part of the diets of people inhabiting in the tropics.. Growth, development, and production of Soybean Glycine max (L.) are negatively impacted by delayed planting dates and poor environmental circumstances. The nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium accumulation at harvest and nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content in seed impacted by changes in photoperiod, temperature, and precipitation with delayed planting. Extremely high temperatures and drought stress are examples of environmental variables that negatively impact plant development and productivity and are frequently linked to delayed planting. The finding reveals significant variation in the NPK composition contingent on planting dates, underscoring the importance of optimal timing for planting. This study also provides valuable insights for farmers and agronomists seeking to optimize soybean production through strategic planting schedules.

Adsorption of Phosphorus and Its Fertilization and Porous Sorbent Using Calcium and Dissolving Magnesium | Chapter 8 | Chemical and Materials Sciences: Developments and Innovations Vol. 7

Aims: The aim of this research was to investigate Magnesium hydroxide [Mg(OH)₂] and nano calcium treatments for the utilization of spent coffee grounds (SCG) and formed waste glass. Adsorption of phosphate, potassium, and phosphate on the surface of the magnesium-modified SCG or formed waste glass was measured. The effect of the potassium magnesium phosphate formed on the SCG and nano calcium phosphate on plant growth was evaluated.

Methods: The adsorption characteristics for phosphorus and potassium were studied using a batch method to determine the effect of the magnesium concentration on the modified SCG and the side effects of nano calcium.

After adsorption, the modified SCG product and nano calcium phosphate were applied to the soil, and plant growth tests were carried out in pots.

Results: The maximum phosphate adsorption (65.89% at a phosphate concentration of 45.98 mg/g) was obtained with 2.5 M Mg(OH)₂. When the post-equilibrium pH was close to 9, the ratio of the changes in the concentrations of potassium to phosphate was 1:1, and potassium magnesium phosphate formed on the surface of the modified SCG. The use of nano calcium resulted in a high adsorption capacity of 62 mg/g phosphorus. By considering separation and supporting it on foam glass, a removal rate of more than 90% was achieved for a phosphoric acid solution with an initial concentration of 100 mg/l.

Conclusion: Calcium hydroxide and nano-sized calcium with low solubility could also be supported on inexpensive porous materials to show the ability to recover phosphorus and potassium, or higher adsorption capacities. The potassium magnesium phosphate and calcium phosphate, produced per carrier, were mixed with soil and used in planting experiments, which demonstrated a discernible impact on growth. The application of a fertilizer prepared from EMSCG was observed to have a beneficial effect on the growth of R. sativus, resulting in an increase in both plant height and leaf width in comparison to the control (no treatment).

Spectrum of Serum Sodium, Chloride and Potassium and Its Role in the Prediction of Preeclampsia | Chapter 4 | Achievements and Challenges of Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 9

Background and Objective: Preeclampsia is a common complication of pregnancy that leads to maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. It may result in lifelong sequelae in pregnant women like reduced life expectancy, increased risks of stroke, cardiovascular disease and diabetes while babies from such mothers have increased risks of preterm birth, perinatal death and neurodevelopmental disability and cardiovascular and metabolic disease later in life. Pre-eclampsia is an intricate multisystem disease, diagnosed by sudden-onset hypertension (>20 weeks of gestation). In spite of decades of research, the aetiology of pre-eclampsia remains poorly defined. To investigate the pathogenesis of pre-eclampsia research is needed to evaluate new prognostic tests and treatments in adequately powered clinical trials. The role of different serum electrolytes in its pathogenesis is in this direction a step as they are considered important for blood pressure regulation.

Materials and Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional study of 100 diagnosed cases of preeclampsia divided into mild and severe according to latest International Society for the Study of Hypertension in Pregnancy ( ISSHP ) guidelines and equal number of age, parity and gestational age-matched women (n=100), that acted as control group, with singleton normal pregnancies, admitted in obstetrics wards from January to March 2022 of our tertiary care hospital associated with GMC Srinagar were included in the study. Clinical examination and laboratory investigations to estimate biochemical parameters were conducted. Data was analyzed with SPSS V:26. Statistical tests to find out the mean standard deviation among the groups and the One-way ANOVA test was applied to find the significance of associations.

Results: In the severe preeclampsia group, the mean values of Na⁺, K⁺ and Cl^- were 134.50±4.24, 4.28±0.74, 106.48±3.41 mEq/L respectively in comparison to the control group 135.57±3.29, 4.12±0.53, 108.20±3.19 mEq/L respectively. Results from one-way ANOVA showed that there was a statistically significant difference between the means of the three groups for systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), Potassium and Chloride levels with p<0.05. A post hoc analysis was used to distinguish the differences in means of these parameters among the groups with p-value <0.05 considered statistically significant.

Conclusion: Estimation of readily available serum sodium, chloride and potassium during the course of pregnancy can help to identify preeclampsia and thus reduce the burden of morbidity and mortality in pregnant women and fetal outcome.

A Study on the Muscle Immobility of Depression: the Weightlessness within | Chapter 11 | Novel Research Aspects in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 2

 The aim concerning this study was to decide the function of bioelements in human depression. In the randomized, anticipated, observational trial, 311 adult colleagues (188 women and 123 men) had assessments for fur sodium and potassium; 192 were controls (83 men and 109 women), and 119 had meaningful unipolar depression (40 fellows and 79 women). Depression was diagnosed for one DSM-IV criteria, and wig sodium and potassium were analyzed by the inductively connected plasma nuclear emission spectroscopy (ICP AES). In the subgroup of 19 controls and 24 disadvantaged subjects who tried suicide (the serious form of major depression), antidiuretic birth control method (ADH) was assessed by utilizing the standard laboratory ADH diagnostic provisions. Significant gender distinctnesses were observed, since brothers have more hair Na and K than daughters (Na p < .01; K p < .02; Chi square test). The depressed cases also have increased levels of sideburn Na and K, what indicate the negative balance of these electrolytes, because hair growth is unidirectional (p < .01 for two together K and Na, Chi square test); ADH values were dropped off in the suicidal subgroup (p < .01, Chi square test). These findings on negative Na and K balance and lowered ADH in depression are related to those seen in astronauts during brief Apollo scope missions. The issue stands as to whether the stated Earthly metabolic changes of body powers in depressed cases are a direct result of muscle inactivity, or if cavity fatigue is mediated apiece failure of some hypothetic, gravity helpless muscle mobility mind control "dynamostat" that operates as well the fluid regulation center that manifests allure presence when being light in Space.

Study on a Potassium Recovery Method for the KCl Form in Biomass Incineration Ash Utilizing Different Extraction and Recovery Methods | Chapter 10 | Research Aspects in Chemical and Materials Sciences Vol. 1

 The goal of this research was to separate potassium ion from calcium ion, which affects potassium purity when extracted and recovered from incineration ash, as well as to lessen the environmental burden of the final waste liquid. Potassium tartrate is made by extracting calcium as calcium tartrate using acetic acid, a weak acid, then adding tartaric acid to the filtrate to separate calcium as calcium tartrate, then concentrating and evaporating the solution. All of the experiments were carried out in a batch mode. When the solid–liquid ratio was 1:20, an acetic acid solution of 0.5 mol/L was utilised for extraction, and the extraction extent was 95.4 percent. Following the filtration of the extract, 10 mL of 10% tartaric acid was added to 20 mL of extract, resulting in solid precipitation. When the solids were separated and potassium was dissolved in the acid, 72 percent of the extract was recovered. The syngenite technique works best when a magnesium dosage of 5 mmol/L is added, and the Ca:K ratio is 1:2.1 with 42mol percent K at pH 11. This might be a suggestion as to which way of recovering K is most successful and efficient.

Analysis of Soil Properties of Ponds in Sabang Block Areas, West Bengal, India | Chapter 17 | New Visions in Biological Science Vol.9

 The study's goal was to assess the routine application of a commercially available and naturally occurring method for improving pond soil quality. So, in the year of the studies, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium were not detrimental to the carps' growth. Bacteria can be found in a variety of environments, including fresh water, soil, air, and seawater. Bacteria have different personalities based on their surroundings. As a result, periphyton bacteria in different zones have diverse characteristics. However, the study focused on soil analysis in Sabang block regions' fresh water ponds. The investigation lasted roughly a year in the Sabang block areas. In a bucket, soil was collected. This soil was gathered from five ponds in the Sabang block (Ghat pond, Dhara pond, Majari pond, Nandan pond, and Masanta pond). The ponds were divided into two categories: control and experimental. This pond was stocked with semi-dried cow dung. We used a variety of techniques in this experiment. The nitrogen, available phosphorus, and available potassium levels in the pond bottom soil were measured using AOAC standard procedures (1980). However, after treatment, the nitrogen level in all of the experimental ponds increased dramatically. When it comes to enhancing pond productivity, phosphorus is crucial. Potassium isn't a limiting element, and it's not necessary to boost output. The generation of free hygienic fish in ponds is the future scope.

Mechanical Characterization of Potassium and Hydroxyl Bearing Fluorapatite Bioceramics: A Brief Overview | Chapter 11 | New Innovations in Chemistry and Biochemistry Vol. 5

 The researchers looked at palladium (II) complex compounds that had been adsorbed on the dry inner surface of nano-porous silicate glass. The spectral reaction of solid specimens containing Pd(II) salts and organic complexes on carbon monoxide in the environment was manufactured and examined. While reacting with carbon monoxide, the specimens showed subtle and reversible colour changes. The creation and dissociation of coordination compounds on the nano-porous glass inner surface are thought to be involved in the reaction mechanisms. The research findings could be used in chemical sensors to detect carbon monoxide in the atmosphere, according to the researchers. The processes were given a chemical explanation.
