Effects of Potential Micro- and Macro-nutrients in Combatting COVID-19

This study was based on to determine the concentration of macro and micro nutrients as well as toxic and nontoxic heavy metals present in the chicken feed available in Dhaka city of Bangladesh. All macro nutrients, if present in the feed at high concentration have some adverse effect, at the same time if this nutrient present in the feed at low concentration this have some adverse effect too. So that this nutrient level should be maintained at a marginal level. On the other side toxic heavy metals if present in the feed at very low concentration those can contaminate the total environment of the ecosystem. In this study six brand samples (starter, grower, finisher and layer) which was collected from different renowned chicken feed formulation industry in Bangladesh. Those samples were prepared for analysis by wet ashing and then metals were determined by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy. It was found that 27.7 to 68.4, 57.3 to 121.9, 0.21 to 4.1, 0.32 to 2.1, 0.11 to 1.58, 0.28 to 2.11 and 0.28 to 1.78 for zinc, iron, copper, mercury, cadmium, nickel and cobalt respectively. It was found that essential macro and micro nutrients were present in the feed in low concentration on the other side mercury was present in high concentration in the feed samples.

Macro Nutrients

: Nanobionics involves the improvement of plant or plant productivity using nanomaterials. Growth of a plant from a seed encompasses various factors which are directly or indirectly dependent upon the imbibition of micro and macro nutrients and vital elements from the soil. Since most of the nutrition is physiologically unavailable to the plants, it leads to mineral deficiencies in plant and mineral toxicity in soil. Either ways, it is not a favourable situation for the microcosom. The new era of nanotechnology offers a potential solution to the availability of the nutrients to the plants due to its unique chemical and physical properties of nanoparticles. Positive and negative impact of these nanoparticles on seed quality and plant growth varies according to the specific properties of nanoparticles. The present review is an attempt to summarize the impact of nanobionics in agriculture.

MOL (Mikro Organisme Lokal) is the result of local material decomposition with fermentation method. MOL contains macro and micro nutrients and microbial decomposers. The smaller coffee peel that will fermented, the faster MOL can be formed. To accelerate decomposition in MOL solution, it can be added food source of bacteria such as coconut water and brown sugar. The purpose of this study was to study the process of making MOL from coffee peel, to analyze the content of nitrogen, phosphor, and potassium of MOL of coffee peel and to determine the effect of fermentation time on nitrogen, phosphor, and potassium contents of MOL that resulted. This study was conducted with 4 (four) treatments, week 1, 2, 3 and 4 and 1 factor and using 2 times replicate. The parameter of testing used for making coffee peel as local microorganism are MOL volume, nitrogen, phosphor and potassium contents. The result of study showed that the highest mol volume obtained in week 4 of 8.5 ml and the lowest in week 1 of 5 ml. They were obtained from 500 g coffee peel. Determination of nitogen, phosphorus and potassium as a macro nutrients has been conducted. The result showed that the highest nitrogen was found to be 0,0039% in week 1, 3 and 4 and the lowest in week 2 with percentage 0.034 %. Determine of phosphorus showed that the highest phosphor was obtained in week 2 wtih percentage 0.033 % and the lowest in week 4 of 0.018%, and the result of potassium analyze, the highest obtained in week 2 of 0.035 % and the lowest in week 4 of 0.014%

Macro Nutrients

S. leprosula and S. parvifolia are widely developed as source of high quality wood. The quality of wood could be affected by nutrient elements. It is important to measure the nutrients contained in tree stem including wood density and fiber length due to their influence in tree growth. This research aims to know correlation between wood density and fiber length with distribution of essential macro-nutrients; N, P and K on stem base of S. leprosula and S. parvifolia trees. Wood density measurement followed DIN 2135 standard method, fiber length measurement followed FPL method, and nutrient measurement used AAS method. Further, the observation data was analyzed using SPSS 16 software. Wood density and fiber length on stem bases of both of tree species tended to increase radially from section nearby the pith to section nearby the bark respectively. Wood density of S. leprosula ranged from 0.333-0.362 with 1.279-1.343 µm in fiber length, while wood density of S. parvifolia ranged from 0.285-0.346 with 1.497-1.805 µm in fiber length. Distribution of nutrient N, P and K of stem base from pith to bark also tended to increase. On S. leprosula, nutrient elements N, P, K had significant correlation with wood density and fiber length. On S parvifolia, nutrient elements N, P, K had a significant correlation with wood density. Meanwhile, nutrient elements N, P, K had a non significant correlation with fiber length. Keywords : Shorea leprosula, Shorea parvifolia, base of the stem, wood quality distribution, nutrient distribution.
