In the control treatment nothing but water was sprayed into rice, while in other treatments, plant nutrient, slaked lime and pokeberry root powder were sprayed on rice at the tillering stage, the heading stage and the dough stage, respectively. The plant samples and soil samples were collected after the harvest and then analyzed on aimed indexes. The results showed that Cd contents in rice plants were significantly decreased, total Cd contents in brown rice were significantly (P〈0.05) decreased after rice was sprayed with plant nutrient, slaked lime and pokeberry root powder at different growing stages. However, while rice was sprayed with the three materials all at the tillering stage, the heading stage and the dough stage, the total Cd contents in brown rice were decreased by a maximum reduction that was 53.4% to 57.5% below that of the control, which was signifcantly (P〈0.05) lower than other treatments. Meanwhile, the biggest reduction of Cd inrice sprayed with the three materials at the tillering stage was 19.6% to 35.1% below that of the control, which was signifcantly (P〈0.05) lower than other treatments. In conclusion, spraying plant nutrient, slaked lime and pokeberry root powder on rice at different growing stages could not only reduce the absorption accumulation of Cd by root system, but also change the activities of rice and physical and chemical properties of soil, and then inhibit the absorption of Cd by the root system and the transfer of Cd in the rice plant. Therefore, the multiple factors may be the main causes of reducing Cd contents in the brown rice when the three materials are sprayed on rice at different growing stages.展开更多

Merr.]. The experiment was conducted at SODACO (South Davao Corporation) farm, Davao City, Philippines from March to October 2010. Five treatments with increasing K levels were applied per tree: control, no K, 150 g K basal, 225 g K basal and 225 g K basal + foliar application. Application of 225 g K rates positively influenced fruit quality of pummelo. Fruit pulp diameter and juice weight increased while peel thickness decreased. The 225 g K rates also increased juice pH, TA (titrable acidity) and TSS (total soluble solids) per tree. The yield of total phenol, flavonoid, vitamin C and oil per tree increased with 225 g K application. Results of the soil analysis before and after the conduct of the study showed an evidence of fertilizer absorption by the trees. It was also observed that foliar fertilization reduced soil acidity. This indicates the important role of K in improving the nutrient utilization and quality of 'Magallanes' pummelo.展开更多

The results revealed that the foliar application of 200 mg Fe/L caused a significant increase of N, P, K, Fe and Zn concentrations in petioles and berries compared with the control for both seasons. Additionally, the N, P, K, Fe and Zn concentration in petioles were high at the beginning of the growth season, whereas, decrease towards in the end of the growth season in both cultivars and seasons. While the N, P, K, Fe and Zn in berry content was increased towards from berry set to veraison and ripening stage in both cultivars and seasons. So there are various element contents in the cultivars.展开更多

Randomized Complete Block Design (R.C.B.D) was adopted utilizing two applications in three replicates. Three concentration levels of nutritional solution PRO.SOL (10.00, 5.00 and 0.00 mg/L) and four concentration levels of chelated iron (90.00, 60.00, 30.00 and 0.00 mg/L) were applied in this experiment. The interaction between the two factors was also measured. The mean values were compared using L.S.D test at probability level 0.05. Spraying PRO.SOL at concentration 10.00 mg/L or chelated iron concentration level 90.00 mg/L improved growth parameters. There was significant increase in: number of total leaves per plant, shoot dry weight, leaves total chlorophyll content, number of off-shoots, number and length of primary roots, length of the peduncle, number of flowers, number of petals and flower dry weight. Meanwhile leaf carbohydrate contents, phosphorus percentage and leaf iron content were increased significantly compared with the (unsprayed plants). The interaction treatment, spraying nutritional solution PRO.SOL at concentration level 10.00 mg/L with 90 mg Lt chelated iron had a significant increase in all studied growth parameters, i.e., the number of flowers and petals gave 8.33 flowers and 18.67 petals compared with the control treatment which gave 3.33 flowers and 13.00 petals. Meanwhile leaf carbohydrate contents, phosphorus percentage and leaf iron content increased significantly in comparison with the unsprayed plants which gave the least values.展开更多

The foliar application was done twice, on April 24, 2011 and May 25, 2011. The results showed that spraying of potassium at both concentration (0.5% and 1%) or copper at high concentration (0.04%) had a positive effect on leaf area, leaf fresh weight, leaf dry weight, total chlorophyll, fruit weight, fruit number and yield per tree as well as fruit diameter, pith thick, pulp weight, seed weight and total soluble solid. The interaction between potassium and copper significantly enhanced all detected traits, since trees receiving 1% and sprayed with 0.04% of copper was characterized by the highest values of all growth and yield characteristics compared to the lowest values at untreated trees (control).展开更多
