Foliar application of phosphatic fertilizer vs soil application?

sabir

Question answered by meanolmaw

soil.... phosphates bond up with zinc, iron and manganese so you need to be able to limit the ammount given..... foliar feeds are not as well measured... also be careful that the pH of the soil is not swinging too far either way... 7.0 is best if not a wee bit higher, up to 8.3or so.....

Who discovered Sulfur?

Shakerrah G

Question answered by Jazz

(Sanskrit, sulvere; L. sulphurium) Known to the ancients; referred to in Genesis as brimstone. Sulfur is found in meteorites. A dark area near the crater Aristarchus on the moon has been studied by R.W. Wood with ultraviolet light. This study suggests strongly that it is a sulfur deposit. Sulfur occurs native in the vicinity of volcanoes and hot springs. It is widely distributed in nature as iron pyrites, galena, sphalerite, cinnabar, stibnite, gypsum, epsom salts, celestite, barite, etc. Sulfur is commercially recovered from wells sunk into the salt domes along the Gulf Coast of the U.S. It is obtained from these wells by the Frasch process, which forces heated water into the wells to melt the sulfur, which is then brought to the surface. Sulfur also occurs in natural gas and petroleum crudes and must be removed from these products. Formerly this was done chemically, which wasted the sulfur. New processes now permit recovery, and these sources promise to be very important. Large amounts of sulfur are being recovered from Alberta gas fields. Sulfur is pale yellow, odorless, brittle solid, which is insoluble in water but soluble in carbon disulfide. In every state, whether gas, liquid or solid, elemental sulfur occurs in more than one allotropic form or modification; these present a confusing multitude of forms whose relations are not yet fully understood. Amorphous or "plastic" sulfur is obtained by fast cooling of the crystalline form. X-ray studies indicate that amorphous sulfur may have a helical structure with eight atoms per spiral. Crystalline sulfur seems to be made of rings, each containing eight sulfur atoms, which fit together to give a normal X-ray pattern. eleven isotopes of sulfur exist. Four occur in natural sulfur, none of which is radioactive. A finely divided form of sulfur, known as flowers of sulfur, is obtained by sublimation. Sulfur readily forms sulfides with many elements. sulfur is a component of black gunpowder, and is used in the vulcanization of natural rubber and a fungicide. It is also used extensively in making phosphatic fertilizers. A tremendous tonnage is used to produce sulfuric acid, the most important manufactured chemical. It is used in making sulfite paper and other papers, as a fumigant, and in the bleaching of dried fruits. The element is a good insulator. Organic compounds containing sulfur are very important. Calcium sulfur, ammonium sulfate, carbon disulfide, sulfur dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide are but a few of the many other important compounds of sulfur. Sulfur is essential to life. It is a minor constituent of fats, body fluids, and skeletal minerals. Carbon disulfide, hydrogen sulfide, and sulfur dioxide should be handled carefully. Hydrogen sulfide in small concentrations can be metabolized, but in higher concentrations it quickly can cause death by respiratory paralysis. It is insidious in that it quickly deadens the sense of smell. Sulfur dioxide is a dangerous component in atmospheric air pollution. In 1975, University of Pennsylvania scientists reported synthesis of polymeric sulfur nitride, which has the properties of a metal, although it contains no metal atoms. The material has unusual optical and electrical properties. High-purity sulfur is commercially available in purities of 99.999+%.

What is Factamphos?

What are ingrediants and their %. Which crops it is used for and on what kind of soils?

Question answered by Amy Z

Factamphos 20:20 is a phosphatic fertilizer based on Ammonia (20%), Phosphate (20%) and Sulphur(15%). It is used in rice and rubber plantations. There may be more, but I couldn't find any. It has been tested on: lateritic alluvium, sandy Onattukara, and Vellayani red loam soil. However I do not know what soil it is most commonly used on, but probably these since they tested it on these. Apparently it isn't too good to use because it increases Cadmium levels in plants.

Ca(PO4)2 + H2SO4 ---> CaSO4 + Ca(H2PO4)?

i need help balancing that equation! i meant Ca(PO4)2 + H2SO4 --> CaSO4 + Ca(H2PO4)2

yukaking531

Question answered by VORa

Instead of writing the equation, let us see what the chemical reaction is. CALCIUM PHOSPHATE REACTS WITH SULPHURIC ACID TO PRODUCE CALCIUM SULPHATE AND PHOSPHORIC ACID. The Calcium Sulphate is also called Gypsum. This is the reaction used for producing Phosphoric Acid, an intermediate product in the production of Phosphatic Fertilisers. ( You know that Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potash are the primary nutrients required for plant growth. The fertilisers given to plants should contain these in soluble form. Ca3(PO4)2 is not a soluble form, so it has to be converted to a soluble phosphate before using as a fertiliser). Now write the equation, with proper care for the molecules. Ca3(PO4)2 + H2SO4 -> CaSO4 + H3PO4 Now balance it. Ca3 will give 3 CaSO4. For 3 CaSO4, we need 3 H2SO4. Further, (PO4)2 will give 2 H3PO4. In this 2 H3PO4, there are 6 H, and there are 6 H in the 3 H2SO4. So almost everything balances. Let us confirm by re-writing the equation. Ca3(PO4)2 + 3H2SO4 -> 3CaSO4 + 2H3PO4 YES, IT IS BALANCED. Please note that this reaction takes place only in the presence of water (Aqua solution) and the actual chemical formula of gypsum molecules is CaSO4.(1/2)H2O. There is one H2O molecule bonded to every two molecules of Gypsum. This means we have to re-write the equation once again. 2Ca3(PO4)2 + 6H2SO4 + 3H2O -> 6(CaSO4.(1/2)H2O) + 4H3PO4 And that is it.

Importing procedures?

Question answered by Amit ®™

Regulations and Procedures REGULATIONS AND PROCEDURES All imports now fall into one of the following four categories: freely importable items; Most capital goods fall into this category. Items in this category do not require import licences and may be freely imported by any individual or entity. licensed imports; Certain items can be imported only with licences and only by actual users. The current "negative list" of items in this category includes several broad product groups that are classified as consumer goods; precious and semi-precious stones; products related to safety and security; seeds, plants and animals; some insecticides, pharmaceuticals and chemicals; some electronical items; several items reserved for production by the small-scale sector; and 17 miscellaneous or special-category items. In April 1993 the government ended licensing requirements for several agricultural items, including prawns, shrimp and poultry feed. canalised items; Items under this category can be imported only by specified public-sector agencies. These include petroleum products (to be imported only by the Indian Oil Corporation); nitrogenous phosphatic, potassic and complex chemical fertilizers (by the Minerals and Metals Trading Corporation) vitamin- A drugs (by the State Trading Corporation); oils and seeds (by the State Trading Corporation and Hindustan Vegetable Oils); and cereals (by the Food Corporation of India). prohibited items; Only three items-tallow fat, animal rennet and unprocessed ivory-are completely banned from importation. As far as I know, it would attract custom duty @110%.

India: Agriculture and Rural Development A Saga of Success From a nation dependent on food imports to feed its population, India today is not only self-sufficient in grain production but also has a substantial reserve. The progress made by agriculture in the last four decades has been one of the biggest success stories of free India. Agriculture and allied activities constitute the single largest contributor to the Gross Domestic Product, almost 33 percent of it. Agriculture is the means of livelihood of about two-thirds of the workforce in the country. This increase in agricultural production has been brought about by bringing additional area under cultivation, extension of irrigation facilities, the use of improved high-yielding variety of seeds, better techniques evolved through agricultural research, water management, and plant protection through judicious use of fertilisers, pesticides and cropping practices. Crops The 1970s saw a multi-fold increase in wheat production that heralded the Green Revolution. In the next decade rice production rose significantly; in 1995-96, rice production was 79.6 million tonnes. The total grain production crossed 211 million tonnes in 2001-02, a big leap from 51 million tonnes in 1950-51. To carry improved technologies to farmers, a National Pulse Development Programme, covering 13 states, was launched in 1986. Efforts to boost pulse production were augmented further by the Special Food Production Programme. In 2001-02, pulse production was 13.52 million tonnes. With some states offering more than the statutory minimum price, sugar cane production also received a boost, and in 2001-02 a record 292.2 million tonnes was registered. Irrigation As efforts continued to increase the irrigation potential in the country, the last 40 years saw the gross irrigated area reach 85 million hectares. Flood forecasting has become an important activity over the years. Over 500 hydrological stations collect and transmit data through 400 wireless stations for issuing forecasts for 157 sites. About 5,000 forecasts are issued in a year with 94 percent accuracy. The country also receives international support, with the World Bank as a primary source, for developing its water resources. International cooperation is also envisaged in setting up a National Centre for Information on Water and Power. As there is a broad seismic belt in the country, particularly along the Himalayan, and the Kutch region and parts of Maharashtra, a scheme is being evolved to collect all data on seismic activity at various dam sites. Fertilisers The fertiliser industry in India has grown tremendously in the last 30 years. The Government is keen to see that fertiliser reaches the farmers in the remote and hilly areas. It has been decided to decontrol the prices, distribution and movement of phosphatic and potassic fertilisers. Steps have been taken to ensure an increase in the supply of non-chemical fertilisers at reasonable prices. There are 66 fertiliser quality control laboratories in the country. Since biofertilisers are regarded as an effective, cheap and renewable supplement to chemical fertilisers, the Government is implementing a National Project on Development and Use of Bio-fertilisers. Under this scheme, one national and six regional centres for organising training, demonstrating programmes and quality testing of bio-fertilisers has been taken up. It was a challenging decision of the Government to take Bombay High gas through a 1,700 km pipeline to feed fertiliser plants located in the consumption centres of North India. However, the major policy which has ensured the growth of the fertiliser industry is the thrust on accelerating fertiliser consumption by fixing, on the one hand, low and uniform price for fertilisers, and on the other hand providing the manufacturers adequate compensation through the retention price and subsidy scheme. As expected, fertiliser nutrient demand has gone up from 0.29 million tonnes in 1960-61 to 16.7 million tonnes at the end of 2000-01, compared to 12.15 million tonnes during 1992-93. Fisheries Fish production achieved an all-time high of 5.6 million tonnes at the end of 2001-02. Programmes that have helped boost production include the National Programme of Developing Fish Seeds, Fish Farmers' Development Agencies and Brackish Water Fish Farmers' Development Agencies. The Central Institute of Fisheries Nautical and Engineering Training trains the necessary manpower. To diversify fishing methods and introduce processed fish products on a semi-commercial scale, an Integrated Fisheries Project has been launched. A National Fisheries Advisory Board has also been established. Food Processing The Ministry of Food Processing Industries, set up in July 1988, is the central agency of the Government responsible for developing a strong and vibrant food-processing sector with a view to create increased job opportunities in rural areas, enable the farmers to reap benefit from modern technology, create surplus for exports and stimulating demand for processed food. A new seeds policy has been adopted to provide access to high-quality seeds and plant material for vegetables, fruit, flowers, oilseeds and pulses, without in any way compromising quarantine conditions. Initiatives have been taken to encourage private sector investment in the food processing industry. Agricultural Research The apex body for education, research, training and transfer of technology in the field of agriculture is the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), established in 1929. India's transformation from a food deficit to a food surplus country is largely due to ICAR's smooth and rapid transfer of farm technology from the laboratory to the land. ICAR discharges its responsibilities through 43 research institutes, four national research bureaux, 20 national research centres, nine project directorates, 70 all-India coordinated research projects, and 109 Krishi Vigyan Kendras (farm science centres). Besides, the programme of Agricultural Education is coordinated by ICAR with the curricula and other normative guidance given to the 26 agricultural universities and four national research institutes. Oilseeds Production A Technology Mission on Oilseeds was launched in 1986 to increase production of oilseeds in the country and attain self-sufficiency. Pulses were brought under the Technology Mission in 1990. After the setting up of the Technology Mission, there has been consistent improvement in the production of oilseeds. The oilseed production, which was 108.3 lakh tonnes in 1985-86, has increased to 247.30 lakh tonnes in 1998-99, the highest production so far. However, due to unfavourable weather conditions prevailing in the major oilseeds-growing states, the oilseed production during 1999-2000 and 2000-01 suffered some decline. The increase in production was largely contributed by soyabean, rapeseed and mustard. Production of pulses has seen many ups and downs, which is expected to be checked under the mission. The country grows mainly nine oilseeds, with groundnut, rapeseed and mustard accounting for 62 percent of total production. Lately, soyabean and sunflower have shown major growth potential. Drinking Water A Technology Mission on Drinking Water and Related Water Management has been constituted to cover the residual problem villages and provide potable water at 40 litres per capita per day, and 70 litres per capita per day in desert areas inclusive of 30 litres for cattle. The mission is tackling the problem through 55 mini-missions in project districts and countrywide problem-oriented sub-missions. A Village Level Operation and Maintenance (VLOM) pump called India Mark-II has been developed and is being exported to 40 countries.

about morphological structures of phosphobacter?

sanoobiya_30

Question answered by kanya

Phosphobacter It is a cocktail product of Bacillus species that are capable of solubilising bound phosphates in the soil and make it available to the plants. It is recommended for all crops requiring phosphate fertilizers.It is always used with appropriate nitrogen fixer Phosphorous is one of the essential nutrients for oilseed crops. A large proportion of the phosphatic fertilizer applied to soil is fixed by conversion into insoluble forms of phosphorus which is not available to plants. Only 20-25 per cent of phosphorous is available to plants. This insoluble and unavailable phosphorus remains unutilized by plants in soil. The bacteria, which dissolve the undissolved form of phosphorus is called ' Phosphobacteria'. The organic acids produced by phosphobacteria dissolve the insoluble (fixed ) form of phosphorous in soil and make it available to plants. Application of phosphobacteria helps to reduce nearly 25 per cent of phosphatic fertilizer input to sunflower crops Phosphobacteria: This type of biofertilizers solubilise phosphates in the soil and render them in available form for crop plants. It can be applied for low land and upland rice. This is applied as the same dose in same manner as Azospirillum. Bacteria like Bacillus megatherium var phosphaticum, pseudomonas, fluorscens, fungi like Pencillium digitatum Aspergillus niger were found to have a strong phosphate dissolving ability.
