This research was conducted to evaluate physical and chemical properties of organic mineral additive incorporated by Saccharomyces cerevisiae which was cultivated on different growth media consisted of cassava flour and rice bran, respectively. Treatment was arranged on completely randomized design consisted of rice bran without inoculants (RBo), rice bran with inoculants (RBi), cassava flour without inoculants (CFo), cassava flour with inoculants (CFi). Substrates were fortified by microminerals contained of Cu (100 ppm), Mn (100 ppm), Zn (100 ppm), I (10 ppm), Fe (2.5 ppm) and Co (2 ppm). Inoculation of S. cerevisiae could reduce fungal contamination. Physical characteristic of cassava flour was better in flavour and texture than rice bran in which tends to rancidity. Nutrients composition was similar in cassava and rice bran however crude fibre content in rice bran tends to be higher after fermentation. Mineral content (Zn and Fe) relatively decreased and in substrate supplemented by inoculant and rice bran had higher than cassava. In summary, micromineral was incorporated in cassava flour with inoculated S. cerevisiae had better than rice bran.Keywords: Organic mineral, cassava flour meal, S. cerevisiae, rice bran, ruminant.

In connection with the spectrophotometric study of population-type characteristics of various kinds of stars, a statistical analysis of kinematical and distribution parameters of the same stars is performed at the Toruń Observatory. This has a twofold purpose: first, to provide a practical guide in selecting stars for observing programmes, second, to contribute to the understanding of relations existing between the physical and chemical properties of stars and their kinematics and distribution in the Galaxy.

Organic farming is one of the management strategies that improve productivity of marginal uplands. The study aimed to: (1) evaluate effects of various organic-based fertilizers on the growth and yield of corn; (2) determine the appropriate combination for optimum yield; and (3) assess changes on the soil physical and chemical properties. Experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design, with 3 replications and 7 treatments, namely; T0=(0-0-0); T1=1t ha-1 Evans + 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1; T2=t ha-1 Wellgrow + 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1; T3=15t ha-1 chicken dung; T4=10t ha-1 chicken dung + 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1; T5=15t ha-1 Vermicast; and T6=10t ha-1 Vermicast + 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1. Application of organic-based fertilizers with or without inorganic fertilizers promoted growth of corn than the control. But due to high infestation of corn silk beetle(Monolepta bifasciata Horns), its grain yield was greatly affected. In the second cropping, except for Evans, any of these fertilizers applied alone or combined with 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1 appeared appropriate in increasing corn earyield. Soil physical and chemical properties changed with addition of organic fertilizers. While bulk density decreased irrespective of treatments, pH, total N, available P and exchangeable K generally increased more with chicken dung application.
