Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
The use of potash-rich banana plant pseudo-stem juice in the cultivation of brinjal (eggplant) has been discussed. The yield of brinjal (aubergine) from the soil treated with banana plant pseudo-stem juice is significantly higher as compared to that from the soil treated with muriate of potash. Juice treated soil shows a higher number of brinjals per plant, higher average per capita weight as well as higher yield per unit of land as compared to potash treated soil.The overall yield from juice treated soil is 34% more as compared to that from potash treated soil; nearly 200% more than that from soil not treated with potash. Thus, the banana plant pseudo-stem juice is a better replacement for potash fertilizer. Colour pictures are reported.
