TL;DR: In this paper, the equilibrium adsorption of benzoic acid from an aqueous medium on a natural vermiculite-based adsorbent was studied in the presence and absence of hydrophilic silicon dioxide nanoparticles in batchwise mode.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that carrier substrates cause different effects in soybean and corn and hence the inoculum formulation needs to be specific for each plant.

TL;DR: In this article, the structural transformation of expanded vermiculite was studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TG), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), coupled with a mass spectrometric analysis of the released gases.

TL;DR: In this article, experiments were carried out to improve "in vitro" root development, by modification of the substrates (agar, vermiculite, peat, pumice + vulcanite in different combination) plus evaluation of various concentrations of sucrose.
Abstract: During the last five years the Vivai Battistini dott. Giuseppe has increased the production of Pyrodwarf ('Old Home' x 'Bonne Luise D'Avranches') and Cydomalus (Malus communis x Cydonia oblonga) rootstocks. Experiments were carried out to improve "in vitro" root development, by modification of the substrates (agar, vermiculite, peat, pumice + vulcanite in different combination) plus evaluation of various concentrations of sucrose. Pyrodwarf rooting was good and varied little in relation to the different media but there was a lower percentage of rooting with vermiculite + peat. In contrast, Cydomalus gave better rooting with vermiculite + peat. In Cydomalus different concentrations of sucrose affected the number of rooted shoots and 30g/L sucrose stimulated the number of roots. The percentage of rooting and growth of plants was inferior in media without sugar in both rootstocks. Support substances (particularly vermiculite and peat) increased rooting as compared to agar alone.

TL;DR: In this article, a modified expanded vermiculite was obtained using an in-situ gel method, which is composed of sphere-like Al 2 O 3 particles with a diameter of 40nm and the pore size distribution is uniform with an average size of 45nm.
