SOIL PHYSICAL QUALITY INDICES AND GROWTH OF JUVELINE TUNG BIOENERGY OIL TREE AS AFFECTED BY COVER CROP INTERCROPPING AND ADDITIONAL POULTRY MANURE

Soil Fertility, Phosphorus Fractions, and Maize Yield as Affected by Poultry Manure and Single Superphosphate

A field experiment was conducted in 2007 and 2008 on a slightly acidic alfisol. Poultry manure (PM) was applied at 0, 5 t ha(-1), 10 t ha(-1), 15 t ha(-1), and 20 t ha(-1) in combination with SSP at 0, 15 kg P ha(-1), 30 kg P ha(-1), 45 kg P ha(-1), and 60 kg P ha(-1), which was replicated three times. The pH and organic C were significantly increased by the application of PM alone while availa...

growth and yield of three local populations melon (cucumis melo) as affected by poultry manure application

abstract use of organic fertilizer in production of organic products is important. a field experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of different levels of poultry manure on some growth characteristics and crop yield of iranian melons. the design was split plot in a randomized complete block design with four replications. levels of poultry manure (pm) included: 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 tons...

Growth and chemical composition of three pistachio cultivars as affected by soil salinity and boron fertilization

Photosynthetic Pigments Content and Grain Quality of Triticale as Affected by Mycorrhiza and Zeolite Enriched Manure Compost

In order to study the effect of mycorrhiza inoculation and zeolite-enriched manure compost on photosynthetic pigments content and qualitative properties of triticale grain, a factorial experiment in a completely randomized complete block design with four replications were conducted at Research Field of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources University of Khouzestan during 2016-2017 growing...

Root growth and yield of maize as affected by soil compaction and cover crops

The yield of rainfed crops is commonly limited by the availability of soil water during the summer growing season. Channels produced by cover crop roots in fall/winter when soils are relatively moist may facilitate the penetration of compacted soils by subsequent crop roots in summer when soils are relatively dry and hard. Our objective was to determine the effects of fall cover crops on maize ...
