When tomatoes were planted in steamed soil inoculated with spores of Didymellalycopersici Kleb., a large proportion became infected but very few became infectedin unsteamed soil similarly inoculated. In soil treated with formalin and subsequently...
Calcium ions (Ca2+) are absorbed from the soil by the root cells before being distributed throughout the plant. The transport of Ca2+to aboveground parts relies on the movement of xylem, which is influenced by the transpiration rate of individual organs. The final distribution of Ca2+in tissue...
In construction, it is used as a building material for plaster, drywall, and cement. In agriculture, it is used as a soil conditioner and fertilizer. In the food industry, it is used as a food additive and a coagulant in the production of tofu. Calcium sulfate dihydrate is also used in...
it is used, among other things, as a filler and baking powder for standardization purposes; a firming agent in canned potatoes, tomatoes, carrots, lima beans, and pep- pers; in dough as a source of calcium ions (because the absence of calcium ions causes bread dough to be soft and ...
Calcium chloride is widely used in agriculture for controlling dust on unpaved roads and for enhancing soil fertility by providing calcium to the soil. In the food industry, it is utilized as a firming agent in canned vegetables and as a preservative. Additionally, it finds use in refrigeration...
INHERITANCE OF DIFFERENCES IN CALCIUM UTILIZATION BY TOMATOES UNDER LOW-CALCIUM STRESS Global efforts to reduce the emissions require proper monitoring and understanding of the carbon inputs and outputs by the terrestrial ecosystems i.e. vegetation and soil. Photosynthesis and net primary productivity can...
sewage treatment. In agriculture, it is used in hydroponic culture and as a fast-effective fertilizer for acid soil. It can also be used to make fireworks, to produce explosives in national defense industry, and to paint negative poles in the electronic instrument industry. It is also a raw...
In the contact tests, the colloid was nearly always more toxic than the crystals. In all the tests, except those with dieldrin, the relative toxicity (colloid : crystals) was greater at the lower after-treatment temperature, i.e. the temperature coeficient of the relative toxicity was ...
Written by - Kaitlynn & Luke from MIgardener Calcium is one of the most overlooked minerals in the garden because most people assume their soil is already rich with it. Here in the North, gardening season is coming to a halt. Cooler temperatures are
“The used chemicals in the crushed eggshells dissolve over time in the soil and impart calcium,” Wilson says. “This is one of the easy, timeless approaches to integrating kitchen waste in your garden.” Dolomite or Gypsum Another natural option is dolomite, a mineral that adds calcium and...
