The Northern Samar Provincial Agriculture Office reported a 27.94% 5-year percentage change of tomato harvest in the entire province, and this increase in harvest throughout the years were observed with the use of organic fertilizers. This study developed an organic fertilizer from Leucaena leucocephala (Lam) de Wit (Ipil-ipil) with Polyvinyl Alcohol to be used in a home-grown Solanum lycopersicum L. (Tomato). Functional groups were investigated using FTIR. The soil physicochemical properties were analyzed to determine the soil’s texture, pH, and macronutrient content. Tomato plant growth parameters such as plant weight and number of fruits were also identified. Test of significant relationship among the fertilizer treatments and the parameters were assessed with the use of Analysis of Variance. The functional group present in the Ipil-ipil leaf powder were hydroxyl, alkyl, amino, and carbonyl groups. The results revealed that the soil has silty clay texture, has a weakly acidic pH level, and contains varying macronutrients level. Tomato plants with Ipil-ipil organic fertilizer and PVA-containing Ipil-ipil fertilizer were the same in terms of the weight in kilograms. In terms of number of fruits, Ipil-ipil fertilizer with PVA has the greatest number of fruits among the other different fertilizer treatments. Use of the other parts of Ipil-ipil plant for fertilizer, implementing the fertilizer for different soil types and climatic conditions for plant, and exploring various application methods and dosage levels of fertilizers were recommended.","PeriodicalId":503889,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Chemical Sciences","volume":"40 22","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141650925","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of the study was to investigate the chemical fractionation and bioavailability of Cr, Cd, Zn, Ni, & Fe in flooded and non-flooded farmlands. The soil samples were fractionated into six chemical fractions, each containing different heavy metal concentrations and analyzed using flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The highest average concentration for Cadmium (Cd) is 1.50g/kg, Zinc (Zn) is 7.53g/kg, Nickel (Ni) is 10.54g/kg, Iron (Fe) is 9.52g/kg, and Chromium (Cr) is 12.62g/kg all from the flooded areas of the farmlands. Sequential extraction showed heavy metals distributed throughout all extraction steps, with the water-soluble fraction prevailing, potentially increasing the mobility and bioavailability of these metals. The %bioavailability ranged from 37.98% – 90.00%.  The results indicated also that the average concentration of the metals in flood affected farmland were more than the non-flooded areas. The results indicated that floods affect farmland metal content by altering contaminant bioavailability, causing adverse environmental effects. Also, the results of the heavy metals analyses revealed that the levels of nickel, zinc, chromium, cadmium and iron in all the farmland soil samples are above the maximum allowable concentration for heavy metals in soil set by WHO Guidelines provided. Hence, the farmland soils are not safe for agricultural activities. We therefore, recommend regular monitoring of the soils to prevent excessive build-up of these toxic heavy metals.","PeriodicalId":503889,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Chemical Sciences","volume":"360 18","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141686388","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Water samples were collected from five sampling locations in the study area for analysis of the physicochemical parameters in wet and dry seasons. Physicochemical parameters were determined using standard methods. Data generated were subjected to statistical analysis with Statistical Package for Social Science. The levels of some of the parameters were higher in dry season than wet season. Higher levels of some of the parameters were obtained in downstream than upstream and was ascribed to variation in levels of anthropogenic activities across the sampling locations. By extension, this indicated a likelihood of future escalation in levels of the physicochemical parameters in the river beyond permissiable limits given by World Health Organisation and other regulatory bodies in areas of higher levels of anthropogenic activities if the trend is not curbed. Comparatively, the levels of all the physicochemical parameters in the river water in both seasons were all within permissible limits for portable water standards set by World Health Organisation among other regulatory bodies. This implies that the river water quality supports life of aquatic organisms and also suitable for some domestic uses.  Principal component analysis of some of the physicochemical parameters revealed positive correlation coefficients (loadings) with one another. Hence for sustainability of the river water quality by government, regulation of anthropogenic activities in the study area is strongly advocated.","PeriodicalId":503889,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Chemical Sciences","volume":"42 16","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141273937","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Operational parameters such as initial concentration, adsorbent dose, contact time, effects of pH and temperature were studied in a batch system. It was found that the percentage removal for arsenic and cadmium were around 98 and 97% respectively. Equilibrium of the adsorption processes were obtained by testing the adsorption data using two different isotherm models: Langmuir and Freundlich. The adsorption of arsenic fitted well with Freundlich with R2 value of 0.9106. The kinetic of adsorption process was tested through pseudo first order and pseudo second order models. The Pseudo Second Order Kinetic Model provides the best correlation for the experimental data of both the two metals studied. Thermodynamics parameters, such as ΔGo, ΔHo and ΔS0 were also calculated. This result shows that the process of adsorption for arsenic was spontaneous and exothermic, while that of cadmium was spontaneous and endothermic.","PeriodicalId":503889,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Chemical Sciences","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140730143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
