Growing Potatoes with Slow-release Nitrogen Fertilizer
Nitrogen management practices have an effect on crop yields but they can also have a negative impact on the environment. Practices such as banding fertilizer and/or split-applying total nitrogen needs per acre offer a more efficient use of nitrogen by significantly reducing nitrate leaching potential. Heavy rains occurring when plants are small and nitrogen demands are low can also increase nit...
متن کاملMineral nutrition and growth of containerized Pinus halepensis seedlings under controlled-release fertilizer
Low, moderate and high rates (3, 5 and 7 g/l, respectively) of two controlled-release fertilizer (CRF) types, Osmocote 9–13–18 and Osmocote 17–10–10 were evaluated for their effects on production of containerized Pinus halepensis planting stock. Both formulations had similar patterns of nutrient release, with high release rates during the first 2–3 months, in contrast with minimum seedling upta...
متن کاملAlum-Treated Poultry Litter as a Fertilizer Source
Alum used for poultry houses is sold under the commercial name of “Al+ Clear” in either liquid or dry form. Alum should not be confused with other litter treatment chemicals such as “PLT” (poultry litter treatment), as PLT is comprised mainly of sodium bisulfate (NaHSO4). Although PLT is effective at reducing ammonia levels, pathogens in house, energy costs, and potentially increasing forage yi...
متن کاملCharacterization and Utilization of Zeolite for NPK Slow Release Fertilizer (RESEARCH NOTE)
Based on various characteristics of zeolite, its utilization in the manufacture of fertilizers with slow-release properties is possible. The objectives of this study are to characterize and utilized nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (NPK) slow release fertilizer by using natural zeolite in Indonesia. In this research, zeolite was utilized as a mixture of Slow Release Fertilizer (SRF). Effect o...
