One of the widest ranging abiotic stresses in world agriculture arises from low zinc (Zn)
availability in calcareous soils, particularly in cereals. Cereal species greatly differ in their zinc …

Salicylic acid (SA) is an important signal molecule modulating plantresponses to stress. It is
recently reported to induce multiple stresstolerancein plants including drought. An …

The stability of biochar carbon (C) is the major determinant of its value for long-term C
sequestration in soil. A long-term (5 year) laboratory experiment was conducted under controlled …

Biochar properties can be significantly influenced by feedstock source and pyrolysis conditions;
this warrants detailed characterisation of biochars for their application to improve soil …

Tannins are water-soluble polyphenolic compounds having wide prevalence in plants.
Hydrolysable and condensed tannins are the two major classes of tannins. These compounds …

The influence of biochar on nitrogen (N) transformation processes in soil is not fully understood.
This study assessed the influence of four biochars (wood and poultry manure biochars …

Biochar is produced as a charred material with high surface area and abundant functional
groups by pyrolysis, which refers to the process of thermochemical decomposition of organic …

Context Vitamin D is associated with decreased cardiovascular-related morbidity and mortality,
possibly by modifying cardiac structure and function, yet firm evidence for either remains …

Biochar has gained importance due to its ability to increase the long-term soil carbon pool
and improve crop productivity. However, little research has been done to evaluate the …

Role of various water-soluble carriers was studied for dissolution enhancement of a poorly
soluble model drug, rofecoxib, using solid dispersion approach. Diverse carriers viz. …
