In the city of Nanjing, an ancient capital of China, scientists from across the globe gathered to discuss state-of-the-art research at the 15th International Conference on the Biogeochemistry of Trace ...

granitic rocks produce herbage which has a very low cobalt content. However, other factors, some of which are under the control of farmers, can markedly affect the trace element content of herbage.

New research sheds light on the critical part played by a little-studied element, molybdenum, in the nutrient cycles of tropical forests. Understanding the role of molybdenum may help scientists more ...

Crop fertilisers (N, P & K) have almost doubled in price in the last eight months and are driving up costs for tillage crops this year. To maximise the return from expensive fertilisers, it is ...

THERE has been a marked increase in the incidence of trace element deficiency symptoms showing up in tillage crops over the last 10-15 years, which in turn has led to a near corresponding increase in ...

Trials in Wales comparing a range of biological stimulants applied to grassland have shown their potential to reduce inputs ...

The major and trace element geochemistry of a weathering profile from Ranikhet granite gneiss, NW Lesser Himalaya suggests that except for K, other major elements are leached during incipient and ...

Trace elements or metal elements are minerals found in trace levels in biological tissues. Some are confirmed to be nutritionally important, while the remaining are deemed non-essential. While trace ...
