Why is NH4OH added in heavy metals limit test?

The limit test I'm referring to is USP method II. In this procedure you need to dropwise add 6N of NH4OH to the sample until it the pH is alkali. After that you need to dilute and add HOAc until...

Is there an ideal incubation time of RGO-modified SPCE before subsequent use, i.e., electrochemical characterization or further modification?

I notice that upon washing and air-drying of my RGO/SPCE surface and characterizing again via DPV, the current response towards ferricyanide probe significantly decreases. My worry is that the...

Soil PH is one of the most important edaphic parameters affecting seed germination of all seed. Quinoa seeds are able to germinate at the poorest conditions. If the soil pH ba variable more than 7.5 and below the 5, Quinoa seed did not good germination.

Francesco Desiderio

Hi,

pH highly influence the germinability of seeds and even if quinoa is indicated as a good germinability rate plant it could not germiante outside the bounds indicated by He Omidi . I would suggest you however to check your temperature and RH% and soil type. Those are all secondary important factors which might decrease your germination rate.

Quinoa prefers to grow in slightly acidic to alkaline conditions as ideal pH for quinoa ranges from 6 -7.5.

Seed germination is greatly influenced by soil pH. Highly acidic and alkaline condition hampers seed germination due to toxicity of few elements and many other factors.
