Relative Significance of Stored and Newly Absorbed Nitrogen Hadi Susilo, Ying-Chun Peng, and Yao-Chien Alex Chang1 Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture, National Taiwan University, 1 Roosevelt Road Sec. 4, Taipei 10617, Taiwan ADDITIONAL INDEX WORDS. moth orchid, nitrogen-15, nitrogen partitioning, nutrient mobilization, sink-source relationship, stable isotope ABSTRACT. Phalaenopsis orchid is a slow-growing crop that responds slowly to fertilization. In this study, we used 15N- labeled Johnson’s solution to investigate the accumulation and use of fertilizer nitrogen (N) during the vegetative and reproductive growth stages of Phalaenopsis Sogo Yukidian ‘V3’ with a focus on the nitrogen source for inflorescence development. Labeling of fertilizer applied to mature plants 6 weeks before forcing or at 6 weeks into forcing showed that in the inflorescence, the ratio of N derived from fertilizer applied 6 weeks before forcing to the N derived from fertilizer applied 6 weeks into forcing was 31% to 69%, which shows the importance of newly absorbed fertilizer for supplying the N needed for inflorescence development. The fate of fertilizer N applied during the small, medium, or large plant stage of vegetative Phalaenopsis Sogo Yukidian ‘V3’ was traced separately with 15N-labeling. The capacity of the plant to accumulate N after fertilizer application was different during the various stages of vegetative growth, with large plants having more N storage capacity as a result of their greater biomass. However, the percentage of the accumulated N that was later allocated to the inflorescence was similar regardless of the stage of fertilizer application: of the fertilizer N absorbed during various stages of the vegetative period, 6% to 8% was allocated to the inflorescence at the visible bud stage.

  • Grupa Azoty Strengthens Partnership with New Chemical Syntheses
    08.02.2018 Grupa Azoty strengthens partnership with New Chemical Syntheses Institute of Puławy On the initiative of Przemysław Czarnek, Governor of the Lublin Province, the Grupa Azoty Group, Poland’s leading chemical group, and the New Chemical Syntheses Institute of Puławy (INS), a renowned Polish research centre, have signed a letter of intent on close and regular cooperation. Group-wide coordination of R&D activities combined with new multidisciplinary projects will improve the Group’s chances of launching innovative solutions on an industrial scale. Fully unlocking the research potential of the Institute, a well- established research centre with over 50 years of presence in the Lublin Province, will also spur further development of the region and the Polish chemical industry at large. “ I am very glad that the New Chemical Syntheses Institute of Puławy will collaborate not only with Grupa Azoty Puławy, but also with other Grupa Azoty Group companies across Poland. It is an important milestone on the road towards closer cooperation between science and business – an effort championed by Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and Minister of Science and Higher Education Jarosław Gowin. I believe that strong links between all Grupa Azoty Group companies and the INS, fostered across many areas, will contribute to the development of the Institute itself, which already has a successful track record in scientific research spanning several decades, as well as of the entire Lublin Province,” said Przemysław Czarnek, the Lublin Province Governor. The partnership will involve participation in R&D and implementation projects in Poland and abroad, research and development of new products and manufacturing technologies and their pilot implementation.

  • Towards an Integrated Market for Seeds and Fertilizers in West Africa Public Disclosure Authorized
    93630 Towards an Integrated Market for Seeds and Fertilizers in West Africa Public Disclosure Authorized John C. Keysera, Marjatta Eilittäb, Georges Dimithec, Gbolagade d e Ayoola , and Louis Sène January, 2015 Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized a Lead author, World Bank Group; b West Africa trade and fertilizer specialist, lead consultant; c Public Disclosure Authorized institutional development specialist, consultant; d fertilizer and seed trade specialist, consultant; e seed trade specialist, consultant. TOWARDS AN INTEGRATED MARKET FOR SEEDS AND FERTILIZERS IN WEST AFRICA Abstract To improve farmer access to quality seeds and fertilizers, West African governments have been working through ECOWAS and other regional organizations to develop harmonized rules for input trade for many years. After extensive consultations, regional regulations based on advanced international standards have mostly been agreed upon and are already helping to guide quality improvements in some countries. Despite these encouraging signs, most countries do not currently have the physical capacity or institutional structures needed to implement the agreed trade rules which will take considerable time and investment to develop. The analysis, therefore, points to a need for pragmatic solutions that are easy for individual countries or groups of countries to implement in the near term while longer-term progress towards full harmonization continues. Key words Africa, regional trade, crop inputs, harmonization Acknowledgements This working paper is the result of numerous consultations with seed, fertilizer, and regional trade experts in West Africa who generously gave their time for interviews, for sharing data, and for answering questions after the country visits. The complete list of individuals met is too long for this page, but the team would like everyone to know that their time and efforts are greatly appreciated.

  • Fully Trap the Limiting Resource (P) Until P Becomes Totally Restricted
    Annals of Tropical Research 4123242 ( ): - (201 9 ) © VSU, Leyte, Philippines Direct 33P labeling approach is a very powerful technique that has high sensitivity in tracing the fate of added phosphorus (P) fertilizers across various P pools. Nonetheless, only a few studies have used this approach. This study traced the fate of applied P fertilizer in acidic P-limited soil using the 33 P labeling approach. 33 The incorporation of P-labeled KH2 PO 4 in available P (P AEM ), microbial biomass P (Pmic ) and Fe/Al-bound P (P NaOH ) pools was followed in Cambisol as influenced by C and N sources applied as glucose and ammonium sulfate, respectively. Results showed that not all of the added P fertilizer remains in available pool; instead, it was distributed to poorly-available pools. Fast, almost instantaneous P fixation by the Fe and Al oxides and immobilization by microbial uptake were recorded. Applying glucose boosts microbial growth and demand for P, resulting in increased 33P 33 33 recovery. High P recovery in Pmic (20% of the applied P) and in P NaOH (45% of applied 33P) showed the dominance of P immobilization by microorganisms and adsorption by Fe and Al oxides on the fate of P in an acidic soil. Nevertheless, these can contribute to long-term P availability after the turnover of microbial biomass and desorption of fixed P. Keywords: 33P isotopic labeling, Phosphorus dynamics , Phosphorus availability , Phosphorus fractions, Microbial biomass P , P-limited soil Phosphorus (P) as orthophosphate is essential to life as a structural and functional component of all living organisms and cannot be substituted by any other nutrient (Chimdi et al 2014, Frossard et al 2016).

  • EPC Contract Signed with Contractor for Polimery Police Project
    11.05.2019 EPC contract signed with contractor for Polimery Police project. Polypropylene unit to enter commercial operation in three years’ time. On May 11th 2019, PDH Polska S.A., a company owned by Grupa Azoty and Grupa Azoty Police, signed a contract for turnkey execution of the Polimery Police project with Hyundai Engineering Co., Ltd, marking a milestone in what is the largest chemical project in years. The contract provides for comprehensive implementation of the Polimery Police project, a new petrochemical complex in Police comprising five sub-projects: (1) a propane dehydrogenation unit (PDH Unit), (2) a polypropylene unit (PP Unit), (3) a system for packaging, storage, logistics and dispatch of polypropylene, (4) auxiliary units and inter-unit connections, and (5) a handling and storage terminal comprising port facilities for the unloading and storage of propane and ethylene from seagoing vessels. The target capacity of the PDH Unit is 400,000 tonnes of propylene with a purity of 99.6% by volume (polymer grade) per 8,000 hours, and that of the PP Unit – 400,000 tonnes of polypropylene per 8,000 hours. “The implementation of this strategic project is a landmark event for the Grupa Azoty Group and the Polish chemical industry. Once brought on stream, Polimery Police will help us significantly and strategically diversify our business into the promising and fast-growing plastics market, particularly the polypropylene market segment. We expect the share of the plastics business in consolidated revenue will expand from around 16% in 2018 to over 30% in a few years’ time. Stepping up our efforts to expand non-fertilizer business lines will allow us to diversify revenue sources and mitigate seasonal fluctuations in demand.

  • Police with Its Own Deposits of Phosphate Rock in Senegal
    30.08.2013 Police with its own deposits of phosphate rock in Senegal Groupa Azoty Police began to invest in Senegal, which has become a foothold of the Company to expand into other markets in Africa. The first step in establishing its position in this market was the acquisition of a 55% stake in African Investment Group SA (www.aig-online.eu). AIG holds licenses for access to deposits of phosphate rock and ilmenites in Senegal. Owing to this transaction, Grupa Azoty Police has become the first Polish chemical company which has its own resources. Independence from external suppliers as early as next year will enable the company to save about 30m PLN. "The investment in the deposits is the beginning of the Company's expansion into African markets and Senegal will be the centre of production and distribution of fertilizers to other countries in Africa. To optimize the whole process, vessels transporting raw materials to Police, on their way back will take fertilizers for sale in African markets. In a few years we plan to start our own production of phosphoric acid," said Krzysztof Jałosiński, President of Grupa Azoty Zakłady Chemiczne “Police” S.A. Details of the transactionGroupa Azoty Police S.A. acquired a controlling stake in African Investment Group S.A., Dakar, Senegal. AIG holds licenses giving access to the deposits of phosphate rock and ilmenite sands in Senegal. The purchase of 55 percent shares costs 28.85m dollars. It will be funded in three tranches depending on the operational progress. Annually up to a million tons of phosphate rock will be coming from Senegal to Poland.
