Abstract
|
| |
The present study was undertaken to explore the reactions to
personal space invasions among university students, by using
field experiment method. A checklist of compensatory
behaviors was developed through focus group discussions.
There was a treatment condition, in which personal space of
participants was invaded and a control condition, in which the
participants personal space was not invaded; by a female
invader.Participants consisted of male and female university
students (N=101). Two observers recorded observations,
satisfactory co-efficients of concordance were found between
their observations... |

NEO-FFI as translated in Urdu in the National Institute of
Psychology was used on 452 undergraduate students in Pakistan.
Item-analysis revealed that the response pattern of the students was
differentiated across the five response choices for 44 of the 60 items.
The mean scores of the respondents were close to a theoretical
average of 35 for each scale. Girls scored significantly higher than
boys on Neuroticism and Conscientiousness scales. The alpha index

Abstract

Chromobacterium violaceum is a pathogenic soil bacterium producing violacein and hydrogen cyanide both of which is controlled by quorum sensing with the same signal molecule homoserine lactone (C6-HSL). A study was carried out to determine if quorum sensing was a factor that was required for inhibiting the growth of green bean (Vigna radiata) seedling. The results showed that C. violaceum which reached quorum level inhibited the growth of green bean seedling as much as 86.5% for the shoot length and 92.1% for the root length... |

Management of micronutrient B in soil is difficult because of its high mobility. Soil sampling and analysis is the first important step in managing the nutrients required by plants. This study was conducted to evaluate the B status in soils of rice growing areas in Kedah and Kelantan which are the main rice growing states of the country. Soil samples were collected from 15 soil series namely Kranji, Sedeka, Guar, Kundur, Tualang, Teluk Chengai, Kuala Kedah, Rotan, Sedu, Kangkong, Batu Hitam, Lubok Itek, Tepus, Telemong and Chempaka to determine B status and other physico-chemical properties... |

Abstract

Poor management of plant nutrients and ignorance of the Liebig's Law of Minimum for plant nutrients requirement is an obstacle in efforts to increase rice production in Malaysia. Ignorance of the importance of micronutrients application by Malaysian farmers hinders the achievement of high yields in rice production. Six farmer's plots were used to examine the importance of micronutrients in rice production in Sawah Sempadan, Tanjong Karang, Malaysia. Soil and foliar samples were collected and analyzed to determine the micronutrients content and then compared with the critical nutrients levels needed by rice... |

Abstract

Use of coal fly ash (CFA) as a soil ameliorant is hindered by the lack of macronutrients in the ash, besides, there are also concerns about its high concentration of microelements, especially boron. Sewage sludge (SS) on the other hand, has a high amount of macronutrients especially Zn. This study was carried out to evaluate the potential of CFA as a soil ameliorant to immobilize heavy metals from SS-treated soil and whether theSS could provide supplementary macronutrients for maize growth requirement. A laboratory soil incubation study was conducted using 3 kg mixture of soil, SS and CFA... |

In Malaysia, glufosinate ammonium (GLUF) is a commonly used herbicide in oil palm plantations to control broad-leaved weeds and grasses. Adsorption and desorption of (GLUF) were studied using the batch equilibrium technique in four mineral soils, Inceptisols (Selangor), Oxisols (Munchong) and Ultisols (Serdang and Rengam) series and peat (Histosols) collected under oil palm cultivation from 0-15 cm and 15 - 30 cm depths. Adsorption coefficients of the herbicide were correlated with soil properties i.e. organic matter content, clay content, cation exchange capacity (CEC) and pH... |

A total of 138 geo-referenced soil samples were collected from the area at 0-20 cm depth after harvest, at an interval of 80 - 90 m to determine the selected chemical properties: pH, organic carbon, total nitrogen (N), available phosphorus (P) and exchangeable potassium (K). Geostatistical analyses were applied to examine the within - field spatial variability using semivariograms and kriged maps... |

Abstract

Upland rice farmers in Malaysia still depend on resultant ash from burning for K and N sources. Efficient use of chemical fertilizers in upland rice needs accurate assessment of required nutrient elements. The present study was performed to determine the N, P, and K requirements of three upland rice varieties grown on idle land (Bukit Tuku soil, AQUIC KANDIUDULT) using four response models.
A glasshouse experiment was conducted using 0-200 kg N ha-1 (urea, 46%N), 0-120 kg P2O5 ha-1 (TSP, 45% P2O5), and 0-150 kg K2O ha-1 (MOP, 60% K2O), each at five levels... |

Abstract
|

Ultisols and Oxisols in the tropical regions are often acidic, with high Al but deficient in Ca and/or Mg. This limits maize production. Studies were conducted to investigate the efficacy of basalt, ground magnesium limestone (GML) and gypsum as acid soil ameliorants. Results showed that basalt improved soil fertility by increasing soil pH, cation exchange capacity (CEC) and exchangeable Ca, Mg and K and available P, with a concomitant lowering of exchangeable Al. In the soils treated with GML, Ca remained in the zone of incorporation... |
