In plants, potassium and nitrogen are the two elements required in greatest amounts, while in animals and humans potassium is the third most abundant element, after calcium and phosphorus. Without sufficient plant and animal intake of potassium, life as we know it would cease. Human and other animals atop the food chain depend upon plants for much of their nutritional needs. Many soils lack sufficient quantities of available potassium for satisfactory yield and quality of crops. For this reason available soil potassium levels are commonly supplemented by potash fertilization to improve the potassium nutrition of plants, particularly for sustaining production of high yielding crop species and varieties in modern agricultural systems.

In the portion relating to staining, the chapter on Brown Stains, which occupy an important position in connection with modern furniture and fittings, has been completely revised and enlarged by the introduction of the new and practically-tested Special-Oak Stains, An- thracene Stains and Genuine-Mahogany Stains, which have been very favorably received. Because of their lesser importance, the number of staining formulas for bright colors has been diminished, but these have been replaced by staining formulas for new products of greater fastness to light. All suggestions and experiments since the last edition have been incorporated here. The Sample Card of colors (in the Supplement) has been made to correspond with the new formulas in the book.

Merr.] caused by Macrophomina phaseolina is a disease of economic significance throughout the world. The effects of potassium (K) and phosphorus (P) fertilizer on disease development are unknown. Therefore, two separate trials were conducted in the field during 2008, 2009 and 2010 at Jackson and Milan, TN, USA to evaluate the effects of K and P on severity of −1 −1 charcoal rot. Rates of K (0, 45, 90, 134 and 179 kg K2Oha ) and P (0, 22, 45, 67 and 90 kg P2O5 ha ) were used, with a sixth rate ranging from 0–22 for P and 0–37 for K equal to the recommended K or P fertilizer application based on annual soil testing. The colony forming units of M. phaseolina in soil indicated no significant response for any P treatments in five of six location-by-year and for K applications in all six location-by-year environments.

  • Linking Material Research on Alum-Treated Wood from The
    Braovac et al. Herit Sci (2018) 6:77 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40494-018-0241-y REVIEW Open Access Navigating conservation strategies: linking material research on alum‑treated wood from the Oseberg collection to conservation decisions Susan Braovac1* , Caitlin M. A. McQueen1, Malin Sahlstedt1,3, Hartmut Kutzke1, Jeannette J. Łucejko2 and Torunn Klokkernes1 Abstract From the mid-1800s to the late 1950s, conservation by alum salts (aluminum potassium sulfate dodecahydrate)— with some variations—was a routine method for treating highly deteriorated waterlogged archaeological wood in many countries, especially in Scandinavia. It was eventually replaced by newer methods in the 1960s, such as that using polyethylene glycol. Accordingly, the signs of deterioration in such collections and the reasons behind them are not well known among current preservation specialists. The research in the Saving Oseberg project (2014–2019) has shed light on the consequences of this treatment and reasons behind the severe deterioration observed today in many objects of the Oseberg Viking Age wooden fnds, which were conserved in the early 1900s. Saving Oseberg aims to provide research-based recommendations for the future preservation of the fnds, and as such, a large part of the project is aimed at improving our understanding of this complex material. Here the consequences of the method are summarized, drawing on the research to date. Chemical analyses of the Oseberg wood showed its current condi- tion to be highly degraded: little polysaccharide content is left and the lignin is signifcantly oxidized and extensively depolymerized. The conservation implications are also discussed. Keywords: Oseberg fnd, Wood degradation, Alum-treated wood, Alum, Potassium aluminum sulfate, Ammonium aluminum sulfate, Chemical analyses, Retreatment, Saving Oseberg Introduction obsolete.
