In plants, the meristematic tissues in general are particularly rich in potassium, as are other metabolically active regions, such as buds, young leaves, and ioot tips. Potassium deficiency may produce both gross and microscopic changes in the structure of plants. Effects of deficiency reported include leaf damage, high or low water content of leaves, decreased photosynthesis, disturbed carbohydrate metabolism, low protein content and other abnormalities. 

However, site services and infrastructure are not only a major driver of cost competitiveness. Some of the services are also crucial for improving plant effectiveness. Maintenance performance, for instance, can have a huge impact on plant output. Unplanned breakdowns, often caused by failure to implement the most effective maintenance strategy or by poor execution, can lead to as much as a 20 percent loss in overall equipment effectiveness (OEE see also Chapter 18). On the utilities side, significant cost advantages can be captured, e.g., by providing... 

Site services and infrastructure have a strong impact on total production costs and plant effectiveness, and in times of increased changes of ownership of chemical assets their organizational flexibility is becoming more and more relevant. 

Another group of organophosphoms insecticides consists of preparations with the so-called systemic (inside the plant) effect. They are absorbed by plant tissue, making the plant poisonous for insects feeding on it. These insecticides are mercaptophos (systox) and M-74 (pisyston), derivatives of mono- and dithiophosphoric acid. However, both substances are very toxic for people and cattle and are even more dangerous than thiophos that is why they are not used in Russia. Other systemic preparations, such as methylmercaptophos (metasystox) synthesised by G.Schrader, and M-81 (intrathion) obtained in the laboratory of Academician M.I.Kabachnik, are less toxic than methaphos but more toxic than trichlorfon. 

An exhaustive field study by Moulton et al. (2000) (see also Moulton and Berner, 1998) quantified plant effects on weathering in western Iceland. The study area includes several adjacent basaltic areas one of which was barren (covered only by sporadic moss and hchens) and the others populated by birches and conifers. All of the areas have similar slopes and microclimate and do not have either acid rain (a problem in the northeastern USA, Europe, and elsewhere) or hydro-thermal activity. Also, calcium carbonate is absent which, because it weathers rapidly, could confuse the results.

The purpose of this work was to optimize mixing, various pretreatment (coagulation and sedimentation) and filtration processes, utilizing artificial asbestos suspensions containing asbestos levels of the order of 5.10 ° to 10 f/1. At first, tests were carried out through a batch process to obtain the optimum conditions which were then applied to the pilot plant. Also, the pilot plant effectiveness was evaluated for asbestos fiber removal.
