Changes in the nutrient status of soil caused by cropping and fertilization in a Typic Ustochrept

Field experiments were conducted during 1984-1986 on an alluvial (Typic Ustochrept) soil (pH 8.0. organic carbon 0.46%) at IARI farm. New Delhi to study the changes in available soil nutrients (N, P, K, Mn, Fe. Zn and Cu) at different production levels. Fertilizer was applied to wheat followed by maize, based on the Ta rge tted yield concept’, and mustard was grown after the sequence to estimate the residual effect of nutrients. Nutrient applications for the largest yield targets ( 6 t h a -1 of wheat followed by 4 or 5 t h a -1 of maize) resulted in a comparatively greater buildup of soil nutrients (N, P and K). the greatest yield of a succeeding mustard crop, and a better soil nutrient status than that at the start of the experiment, even after the mustard. When both crops were fertilized for the largest target yield with straight fertilizers (Urea. SSP and KC1), the additions of N, P and K and of micronutrient cations (Mn, Fe. Zn and Cu) maintained a favorable balance for major and trace nutrients and provided a sound basis for profitable crop productio

Chloride: a menace to advance oxidation processes (AOPs)

With the advent of technology, mobile devices are becoming powerful and they are widely used as convenient computing devices. In order to develop high quality application in a short period while overcoming the limitations and challenges in mobile development, strong knowledge and understanding of the design purpose are the key factors in developing well- designed applications. Good design ensures that crashes or harmful actions can be prevented as well as increasing users’ satisfaction. By implementing design patterns, developers can cater wide variety of users whereby they do not have to redevelop similar application for users who are using different types of devices. Application can be developed in a short period as developer can reuse design patterns to develop new application in similar domain. Our proposed work aims to implement design patterns to overcome limitations of current techniques and increase efficiency, usability and reusability in mobile application development
