Lack of soil fertility will affect plant growth and productivity so that it is less than optimal. Therefore, it is very necessary to increase soil fertility through soil improvement, one of which is dolomite. Inceptisols are soil orders that have not developed further with the characteristics of a thick solum between 1.5-10 meters above the parent material, reacts acidly with a pH of 4.5-6.5, if it undergoes further development the pH increases to less than 5.0, and base saturation is from low to low. currently. The texture of this whole solum is generally clayey, while the structure is crumbly and the consistency is loose. In general, the fertility and chemical properties of Inceptisols are relatively low, but efforts can still be made to improve with appropriate handling and technology, pH in Inceptisol soils is one of the obstacles in efforts to increase soil productivity. The application of dolomite on acidic agricultural soils is to reduce or eliminate the adverse effects of acid soils, which generally contain high enough quantities of exchangeable aluminum ions so that they can poison plants. This test was carried out at the Experimental Field of the Chemical Laboratory of Soil Fertility and Plant Nutrition, Department of Soil Science and Land Resources, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Padjadjaran, Jatinangor, Sumedang Regency, West Java, which is located at an altitude of 794 m above sea level. The experiment used a randomized block design (RAK). In accordance with the objectives of the experiment, five dolomite test treatments were set with five replications. Dolomite affects the process of increasing pH and decreasing exchangeable Al. Giving the test dose of dolomite equivalent to 1.5 doses of dolomite was able to increase pH and decrease Al-exchable.","PeriodicalId":506695,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Life Science and Agriculture Research","volume":"122 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140493728","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}

Factor A was the different acid soils with pH 6.5, 5.5, 5.0 and 4.5 and Factor B was the control, biocar and biochar+compost. The results showed that soil pH, bulk density, water content and soil organic matter were improved significantly as biochar and biochar + compost application. Biochar application also enhanced plant height, leaf number and yield components of tomato plant. It also revealed that combined application of biochar and compost increased the uptake and available of N, P, K than biochar alone and control in different level of acid soils. It was found that biochar + compost treatment in the whole growing period was best to improve tomato plant growth and yield, providing a biochar amendment recommendation for tomato production in field. Moreover, biochar application improved the soil physical and chemical properties.

There are very few researches on AMR Campylobacter conducted in Sri Lanka and none of them studied about AMR genes to the best of our knowledge. The present study focused on the detection of AMR Campylobacter from broiler in Sri Lanka, resistant against frequently used antimicrobials. Further, presence of AMR genes or mutations in responsible genes were compared to the resistant phenotypes. Cloacal swabs were collected from 118 broilers in nine farms covering three provinces in Sri Lanka. One Campylobacter colony per sample was isolated and the antimicrobial susceptibility test of the isolates was performed by inoculating the isolates onto agar plates with threshold concentrations of eight antimicrobial agents which belong to six antimicrobial classes. Three genetic markers for antimicrobial resistance, point mutations in 23S rRNA gene and gyrA gene, and the presence of resistant gene, tet(O) were also investigated. Altogether, 73 samples were Campylobacter positive of which 59 were Campylobacter jejuni, 13 were Campylobacter coli and one was unidentified Campylobacter. All isolates were resistant to three or more antimicrobials tested. The isolates were frequently resistant to ciprofloxacin, nalidixic acid, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, amoxicillin and tetracycline, and susceptible to gentamicin and streptomycin, while the resistance to erythromycin was different between the species. Genetic screening revealed that most of the isolates possessed one or more of these genetic markers. This study urges the need of continuous surveillance for AMR Campylobacter in Sri Lanka.","PeriodicalId":506695,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Life Science and Agriculture Research","volume":"38 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139536034","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}

These molecules are characterized by a multitude of forms and structures and have several biological activities. The present study aims to characterize the three brown algae Bifurcaria bifurcata, Cystoseira gibraltarica and Fucus spiralis. These were collected in the region of Cap Ghir north of Agadir. The results obtained show that the mineral analyses of the extracts of F. spiralis, B. bifurcata and C. gibraltarica highlighted the richness of these brown algae in macroelements (Ca, K, P, Na, N). Concerning the total sugar content of C. gibraltarica shows a significant difference with the other two algae B. bifurcata and F. spiralis and has the highest content. For the protein content, no significant difference was recorded between the three algal extracts. Indeed, the aqueous extract of C. gibraltarica has a protein content of 48.44 mg/g DM, the aqueous extract of F. spiralis showed an average protein content of 45.55 mg/g DM, and that of the aqueous extract of B. bifurcata is 44.03 mg/g DM. The three brown algae C. gibraltarica, B. bifurcata and F. spiralis have consistent levels of organic matter. F. spiralis and C. gibraltarica have significantly equivalent organic matter contents (73.74 and 73.44 g/100g DM, respectively). In this study, the analysis of total phenols shows that F. spiralis presents a significant difference with the two other algae and has the highest content (7.2 µg/mg dry matter). In general and whatever the method of flavonoid determination, the flavonoid content of the three algae is significantly different. The methanolic extract of F. spiralis shows the highest flavonoid content, followed by B. bifurcata. While the lowest content is presented with the methanolic extract of C. gibraltarica. The results of the antioxidant potential using DPPH reveal a significant difference between the three algae. Indeed, the extracts of the analyzed algae present an antioxidant activity varying between 33.61 and 88.3%, with a high antioxidant potential (88.3%) for F. spiralis and thus an important capacity to trap the DPPH radical. These three studied brown algae represent a promising source of biologically active molecules that can be used in several fields such as organic agriculture.","PeriodicalId":506695,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Life Science and Agriculture Research","volume":"124 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139261047","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}
