Contribution Of Organic Compost And Bacterial Inoculation In Improving Quality Of Quinoa Seeds, Abeer Mousa, Rabab Ibrahim, Yehia Galal
Al-Azhar Bulletin of Science
Biofertilizers and organic compost are a important source of plant supplements during the plant development. Compost was used to pots under greenhouse condition with the application doses of 0, 50, 100, and 200 kg ha−1 on the basis of its nitrogen content. Bacterial strains of Azotobacter chroococcum (a symbiotic nitrogen fixer) and Bacillus polymyxa as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) were applied as biofertilizers. Pot test was done to quality the role of organic compost in combination with bacterial inoculation. In general, organic compost and biofertilizers improved growth and seed quality of quinoa. Then again, the collaboration between bacterial inoculation and …

Heavy Metal And Fluoride Ions Removal From Wastewater Using Moringa Seed Beads, Khalid Khader, Rabie Farag, Moustafa Abo-Elfadl, Mohamed Ali
Al-Azhar Bulletin of Science
Water contamination by heavy metals has harmful and hazardous health consequences for humans. The goal of this study is to see how effective Moringa seeds beads (MOSB) mixed with sodium alginate are at adsorbing ions like copper, nickel, manganese, lead and fluoride from polluted water. Different instrumental approaches were used to characterize the adsorbent (FT-IR and SEM).. Batch adsorption studies and the effects of the adsorption parameters were optimized. The results revealed that the removal rate for each element occurred at the optimum dose (5g/l) with removal efficiency (93, 72, 80, 96, and 93 %) and the maximum sorption capacity …
