Response of Sweet Wormwood (<i>Artemisia annua</i> L.) to Different Rates of Inorganic Nitrogen Fertilizer in Semi-Arid Zimbabwe

Dynamics of Fertilizer Nitrogen Applied to Sweet Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) in the Semi-Arid Tropics

Although sweet sorghum is in focus as a promising multi-purpose crop in semi-arid tropical regions, information on optimum nitrogen (N) management remains rather limited. To determine and understand the N dynamics in sweet sorghum-soil ecosystem, we evaluated the N recovery of applied fertilizer in the Alfisol field during the 2009 and 2010 rainy seasons. Sweet sorghum was grown under six N rat...

Growth and yield responses of two forage sorghum cultivars to different nitrogen fertilizer rates

In order to evaluate the impact of different amounts of nitrogen fertilizer on growth and yield of two forage sorghum cultivars, a 2-year field experiment was carried out at the College of Agriculture, Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran during 2010 and 2011 growing seasons. Two factorial experiments were carried out in randomized block design with three replicates, in which the treatments included...

Response of Emmer and Durum Wheats to Different Levels of Nitrogen Fertilizer

Emmer tetraploid hulled wheats are considered as the ancestor of modern wheat and have considerable potential for durum wheat improvement, especially in terms of grain protein content. To investigate the response of emmer and durum wheats to different levels of nitrogen fertilizer, eight durum and four emmer genotypes were evaluated in the field during 2017 cropping season. The experiment was c...

nitrogen fertilizer response of some barley varieties in semi-arid conditions in morocco

the west asia-north africa region, which is characterized by a typical mediterranean climate, is the center of origin of cereals, notably wheat (triticum spp.) and barley (hordeum spp). however, cereal production, which is primarily rainfed, is mainly constrained by drought due to the low rainfall accompanied by high temperatures. cereals have been tradi-tionally grown following a fallow period...
