GROWTH AND NUTRIENT UPTAKE EFFICIENCY OF WHEAT FROM NONIONIC SURFACTANT AMENDED SOIL

A. Mohammad, A. Moheman and Seema

Abstract

The effects of Triton X-100 (a nonionic surfactant) on growth and nutrient concentration in tissues of wheat plants were examined. While in smaller doses, the Triton X-100 significantly stimulate the dry weights of plant biomass (shoots and roots) and nutrient concentration in plant tissues (shoots and roots), it becomes toxic to plants at higher doses. The nutrients affected by Triton X-100 were mainly Na, K, Mn, and Fe in the shoots and Na, K, Ca, Cu, Mn, and Fe in the roots. The effect on the level of Zn in both shoots and root by Triton X-100 was insignificant. In shoots there was no effect of Triton X-100 on the concentration of Ca in shoots. However, in roots, the concentration of Ca decreases with the increase of surfactant level in soil.

EFFECTS OF INCREASING FERTILIZATION IN ORGANIC FIELD FODDER AND ARABLE SYSTEMS ON DIFFERENT SOILS AND CLIMATIC CONDITIONS OF EASTERN GERMANY

H. Kolbe

Abstract

In 1992 two organic field trials were set up on loamy sand and a loess loam in western Saxony, eastern Germany. In these long-term field trials questions of field fodder and arable systems, crop rotations with leguminous field fodder, wheat and maize, different organic fertilizer regimes and nutrient cycling were analyzed regarding their effects on soil fertility, yield and quality of the plant products. The main results and conclusions of the first nine years of these organic field trials are introduced and summarized here. During the crop rotation the Nmin levels follow a characteristic course from the highest levels after ploughing in the leguminous field fodder and the lowest values before and during the repeated cultivation of the field fodder. Leguminous field fodder shows a reciprocal adaptation by higher production potentials in lower available nitrogen systems and vice versa. This is true especially in arable systems with mulched leguminous field fodder, where a high N input but low legume field fodder efficiency and relatively low grain yields of the following wheat and maize crops are obtained.

A.M. Karapetyan, H.S. Movsesyan, N.P. Ghazaryan, M.A. Sargsyan

Abstract

As a result of fight action against harmful insects in Lake Sevan coastal forest plantations within the period of 2005-2006, Bacillus thuringiensis (BT) bacterial insecticides were introduced into the soils. It was found that bacterial insecticides BT-23, BTB and lepidocide, introduced into the soils do not have any negative influence upon the urease activity of soils that have been water-free within the last 30-35 and 40-50 years. All the above mentioned gives great opportunities for application of bacterial insecticides in this region..

INFLUENCE OF PHYTOTECHNICAL MEASURES ON THE CONTENT OF SUGARS AND NITROGEN COMPOUNDS IN LEAVES OF GRAPEVINE

Yu. Z. Barseghyan

Abstract

Under the conditions of different formation systems, length of pruning of fruit-bearing shoots and different loadings of grapevines the indices of sugars and nitrogen combinations in the leaves of grapevine have been studied during fruit formation and efficient growth of Mskhali, Saperavi and Hadisi grape sorts. It has been revealed that the unilaterally combined formation system with the mentioned indices in case of the tested three sorts exceeds the control fan-shaped, free and multishoot system. Comparatively high contents of sugar as well as nitrogen combinations contributed to the increase in crop yield, increase in annual growth of grapevines and expansion of leaf surface except for Hadisi sort.

V.I. Tvaliashvili, G.B. Antidze, T. Sh. Papuashvili, A.I. Ruadze, S. B. Chapidze

Abstract

Isolated wounds of auricular region are rearity in dogs, the most pathological processes are passaged on a periauricular tissue too. As the auricular tissue is rich in blood and lymphatic vessels and neurons, healing flows without complications, but a special bandage and suture are necessary. In our practice, as a matter of fact, hematoma is a common complicatione and we perform incision or aspiration procedures.To prevent perichondritis we need special kind of suture in combinacion with ointments, such as Vishnevski ointment or ikhtiolus. Also, antiseptic solutiones are recomended but we never use antibiotices in enteral or parenteral way. Sometimes we use vessel ligature to prevent more irritation and hematoma formation.

ON OCCURENCE OF ACUTE FORM OF PARAMPHISTOMIDOSIS OF RUMINANT ANIMALS IN GEORGIA IN 2008

Sh.O. Potskhveria

Abstract

In Lanchkhuti district (the local source of Paramphistomidosis in West Georgia), with dominant wet subtropical climate, the precipitations happened more than standard in May-July, 2007 (69.2mm) and November-December, 2007, also in January-April 2008 (364mm) and at the same time the monthly indicator of air temperature in April 2008 was 15.1°C, which exceeded the stand and April norm by 2.7°C. According the Katcov’s formula, calculated the forecast coefficient of Paramphistomidosis by the May, 2008 for Lanchkhuti district was 3.7. It meant that in the second half of summer and at the beginning of autumn of 2008 in the village of Lanchkhuti and near places the mass Paramphistomidosis of ruminant animals in acute form occured. Accordingly, the local vets should conduct unplanned prudential dehelmintization of young cattle. In Kvareli district (the local source of Paramphistomidosis in East Georgia), with dominant dry subtropical climate, in May, 2008 the forecast coefficient of Paramphistomidosis was less than three (2.8). Therefore in the districts located by the river of Alazani Valley the occurence of Paramphistomidosis of ruminant animals in acute form is not expected..

USE OF ISOLATORS OF TOXIGENIC CLOSTRIDIA AS DONORS WHILE CROSSING THEM WITH NONPATHOGENIC ESCHERICHIA

J.V. Nachkebia, N.A. Chanishvili, M.R. Oniani

Abstract

Toxigenic clostridia are widespread in external environment in human, animal's organisms and sometimes in food. In a place of inhabitancy clostridia are found in association with other species of microorganisms, so they exchange genetic material and clostridia are turned out to be donors, in such a case for escherichia; herewith different properties are transmitted: resistance to antibiotics, toxigenity, hetopical activity, antigenicity. These properties are determined in plasmids, transmitted with transformation, transduction and conjugation. Toxigenic clostridia were isolated from soil, mineralized excretion of animals, internals of slaughtered animals and pasteurized milk. Only toxigenic cultures were chosen, which belonged to different species: Cl.perfringens, Cl.chauvoei, Cl.oedematiens and Cl.septicum. After referring them to species, they were used as donors when crossing them with nonpathogenic escherichia for the transmission of either properties.

MILK PRODUCTIVITY OF THE CROSS-BRED EWES DEPENDING ON THEIR AGE AND MULTIFETATION

T.I. Paikidze, G.T. Begheluri, N.Sh. Bekauri

Abstract

The milk productivity of the 2 and 3 cross-breed ewes, according to their age and the number of lamds has been studied. It has been determined that the lactescence of 2 cross-bred ewes is increased before the 4 years of age, but in 3 cross-breed ewes – at 5 years of age. The minimum lactescence in both groups is observed at the 2 years of age. The lacrescence of ewe with two lamds is higher than ewe with a lamb, in both cross-breeds, in all age groups. The lactescence of 3 cross-bred ewes always is higher than 2 cross-bred ees within 25–30%.
