ATLAS 3003

Atlas Steels 3003 is a non-heat-treatable, aluminum-manganese-copper alloy. It is one of the most commonly used aluminum alloys. It is selected for applications where good formability, very good resistance to corrosion, or good weldability, or all three, are required, and where more strength is desired than is provided by unalloyed aluminum. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, and tensile properties. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: Al-477. Producer or source: Atlas Steels.

Calcium, copper, manganese and zinc and plant diseases: a review

All crops are usually affected by phytosanitary and nutritional problems. It is known that fertilizers can elevate productivity and control of diseases, characteristics that make nutrients indispensable in combating hunger, and can help to reduce the use of fungicides and their negative impact on the environment. There are more than 15 elements considered essential for plants, including calcium, manganese, copper, and zinc, which will be detailed in this study in order to understand how they can affect the control of plant diseases.

EFFECTS OF GRADED LEVELS OF MAIZE OFFAL ON NUTRIENT DIGESTIBILITY AND MINERAL AVAILABILITY IN DIETS OF LAYING HENS

Effects of dietary levels of maize offal (MO) (0, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50) on nutrient digestibility and mineral availability were investigated with 32-weeks old laying hens. Apparent dry matter, crude protein and cruse fibre digestibilities compared very favourably (P>0.05) in all dietary treatments. Apparent availability of calcium, magnesium, manganese, copper and iron was significantly (P<0.05) depressed as levels of MO increased in the diets. Phosphorus availability insignificantly increased with increasing levels of MO but that of potassium, sodium and zinc was relatively stable in all dietary treatments.

Value Added Products from Yam (Dioscorea spp.)

Yams are believed to be originated in Asia and Africa. They are packed with a bunch of nutrients like Vitamin C, Potassium, Manganese, Copper, and Phytochemicals. The present study was aimed to provide good nutritional products using tuber vegetable Yam. Attempts were made to prepare yam payasam (YPP) and yam vadai (YVP) and subjected to different pre-treatment, and value added products were standardized. 5 point hedonic scales were used for sensory evaluation. From the result, the present study shows the product YPP shows good quality, sensory, and consumer acceptability.
