Geochemical analysis of ancient settlement material (sebakh) has confirmed the high content of nutrients.
Functional foods are products that may provide a health benefit beyond the traditional content of nutrients, or through other added physiologically active components (PAC).
A composite soil sample was taken for all plots, and pH, organic matter, water content, bulk density, content of nutrients, minerals and heavy metals were determined.
Along with the pH, the content of nutrients and organic matter (high, low, medium) and soil texture, the station offers followup suggestions for treating the soil to make it more conducive to the growth desired (e.g., annual flowers, lawn, corn, etc).
Co-digestion of organic wastes is a technology that is increasingly being applied for simultaneous treatment of several solid and liquid organic wastes, in which the content of nutrients can thereby be balanced, and the negative effect of toxic compounds on the digestion process may be decreased giving an increased gas yield from the biomass.
At the end of the experiment (4 weeks), (i) morphological and physiological parameters of basil (e.g. dry weight, gaseous exchange), (ii) nanoparticle component metal taken up by the basil plant (namely, Ag, Ce, Co, Fe, Ni, Sn and Ti) and (iii) the content of nutrients (Ca, Mg, K, Na, P and S) in different basil organs were evaluated.
Concentrations in the sequential diets were obtained by combining the actual quantities of ingested morning and afternoon fractions with their respective content of nutrient and titanium dioxide.
Our data show that the contents of nutrients, BITC and papain of GE Rainbow papaya are within the range of those of non-GE papaya and that the Rainbow cultivar is substantially similar to the non-GE cultivar.
Thus, 40%% treatment of the pressmud contains optimum contents of nutrients required for the highest vegetative growth of S. melongena.
The 40%% sugar mill effluent concentration contains optimum contents of nutrients required for maximum vegetative growth of P. glaucum.
Agricultural waste has been found to increase the contents of nutrients in the soil and its uptake by maize (Adeniyan and Ojeniyi 2005) and tomato (Agele et al. 2011).
