...al and fermentation. The sawdust was pretreated with 2.5% NaOH and further processed for SHF and SSF. Maximum saccharification was observed by T. viride (10.17%) followed by T. harzianum (9.19%) and T. koninji (6.91%) at 35˚C for 48h. Among both strategies, SSF combination of T. viride and S. cerevisiae gave maximum ethanol production (3.88%) after 12 days of fermentation at 30˚C.

...process. Poultry litter, sawdust and rice husk were mixed in equal quantities by volume. One was treated with a single strain of Bacillus; another was treated with a consortium of bacteria comprising several species; and the third kept as the control without adding any bacteria. The results showed that decomposition started earlier in the treated batches than in the control group. During the fermentation period, there was no influence between the intern...

Effect of Growing Media on Plant Growth of Rough Lemon (Citrus jambhiri Lush.) and Poncirus (Citrus trifoliata)
...mpost, soil, silt, sand, sawdust and leaf manure) in 14 different combinations of growth media to check for plant growth of rough lemon and poncirus rootstocks. Five plants per treatment were growing in black polythene bags filled with the required media using a Completely Randomized Design with three replications. Data of stem length stem diameter, number of leaves, leaf area, and survival percentage was recorded. Chemical analysis of leaf was done by taking ...

...nvestigate the effect of sawdust mixed with eucalyptus biochar on nematodes associated with beniseed as well as their impact on yield. A total of nine treatments combinations were evaluated using a 3 x 3 factorial experiment laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) in three replications. The treatments combinations consisted of single applications of sawdust and eucalyptus biochar, and mixed formulations of

...with samples of milk and sawdust beddings. Culture, identification and characterization of isolates were carried out using standard methods. Antifungal biogram was performed. Result showed that all the cattle and the bedding tested positive for fungi, while 41(82%) of the milk samples had fungal contamination. Rate of isolation from cattle, bedding and the milk was not significantly (P= 0.365) different. The distributions of various species within the beddin...

...fection of nest bedding (sawdust). Paraformaldehyde powder was mixed manually with nest bedding (5 grams per nest), while potassium peroxy- monosulfate 0.5% based disinfectant was sprayed in each nest. Random samples were collected before and after treatment by 24-, 72- and 120-hours intervals and were tested for total bacterial, coliform, and fungal counts to evaluate the reduction percent achieved. The obtained results illustrated that neither disinfectant c...

...compost, FYM, peat moss, sawdust and garden soil were used as (SGS) for the growth and quality of three selected foliage plants (A. commutatum, D. deremensis and A. elatiors). The plant response was observed through observing the plant height (cm), leaf length (cm), leaf area (cm), number of leaves (cm), stem diameter (mm) and survival (%). The pH, EC, potassium (K), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and organic matter of different ratios of SGS were also observed ...

marigold (Tagetes erecta) flower powder used alone and in combination with Fertinemakil. Untreated pots were
kept as control. Carbofuran a chemical nematicide was used for comparison. Subsequently after 8 weeks nematode
populations were studied. The results showed that amendments significantly influence...

Optimized conditions for maximum enzyme yield were inoculum size 2.5%, Temperature 25˚C, pH 4.5, incubation period 7 days and moisture content 60%. Eleven different inducers were evaluated but FeSO4.7H2O showed maximum enzyme production (2156±0.57 U/mL/min). By using these statistical techniques more than 13 folds increase in enzyme yield (4022...

...ll content. A mixture of sawdust and sand (1:1) was utilized as the growth medium. Detergent solutions with concentrations of 1g/l, 2.5g/l, and 5.0g/l were prepared, with deionized water as the control (0g/l). Maize seeds were sown in germination trays and irrigated with these solutions to assess the effects on germination, growth performance, oxidative stress enzyme activities, and chlorophyll content. The detergent concentrations did not significantly affect...
