Marandu, Xaraés and Piata Grasses Fertilized With Swine Wastewater Under Greenhouse Conditions

Structural and productive characteristics of Marandu and Xaraés grasses fertilized at different times after harvesting1

The objective of this study was to assess the effect of applying N and K2O at different times after harvest on the structure and production characteristics of Marandu and Xaraés cultivars of Brachiaria brizantha. Two greenhouse 4 × 2 factorial experiments using a randomized block design with eight treatments and four replicates were carried out. In experiment 1, the plants in pots were fertiliz...

Natural hosts of russian wheat aphid diuraphis noxia (mordvilko)(homoptera: aphididae) in the fars province (iran) and a preference test for the grasses under greenhouse conditions

Nitrification Treatment of Swine Wastewater Under Cold Temperatures

In addition to N load, cold weather nitrification is an important consideration for stabilized performance of biological processes applied to continuous animal production systems. A winter simulation experiment was conducted in the laboratory to evaluate performance of immobilized bacteria for treatment of swine wastewater under cold weather conditions. Bench fluidized reactors (1.2 L) containi...

Determining cwsi to estimate eggplant evapotranspiration and yield under greenhouse and outdoor conditions

ABSTRACT- The crop water stress index (CWSI) is the most common index to monitor and assess crop water stress, based on canopy temperature. To calculate CWSI, upper and lower baselines adaptable to different environments are needed. In this study, empirical and theoretical limiting baseline equations were developed to determine eggplant CWSI values at different levels of water deficit and salin...

Morphological and Biochemical Responses of Basil Plant Under Ultraviolet Radiation-B and Deficit Irrigation Under Greenhouse Conditions

Environmental stresses such as deficit irrigation and ultraviolet radiation can influence plant growth and development. Among the environmental variables, ultraviolet radiation is an important factor in plant response to other stresses, such as deficit irrigation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of ultraviolet B radiation (UV-B), irrigation stress and combined effects o...
