Sugarbeet Yield and Quality When Substituting Compost or Manure for Conventional Nitrogen Fertilizer

Sugarbeet Yield and Quality as Affected by Nitrogen Level

Thii study was conducted, under several climatic and soil conditions, to determine the effect of N level on beet yield and quality and to further develop and me both soil and tissue test methods for predicting N fertilizer needs for efficient refined sucrose production. Previous studies indicate that N fertilizer needs for =Wm= sucrose production may be predicted by con. sidering yieldpotential...

Compost and Manure Effects on Fertilized Corn Silage Yield and Nitrogen Uptake under Irrigation

Dairy manure increases the yields of dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) from eroded, furrow-irrigated soils and may increase corn (Zea mays L.) silage yield from steeper eroded areas under sprinkler irrigation. In a 2-year field study in southern Idaho on Portneuf silt loam (coarse silty, mixed, superactive, mesic Durinodic Xeric Haplocalcid), the effects o...

The effect of biofertilizers, nitrogen fertilizer and farmyard manure on grain yield and seed quality of sunflower (Helianthus annus L.)

Experiment was conducted during 2007 growing seasons at the Field of College of Agriculture, Tarbiat Modares University, Tehran Province, Iran to study the effect of biofertilizers (Azosporillum and Azotobacter), nitrogen fertilizer (N) and farmyard manure (FYM) in various rates on the grain and biological yield, seed protein content as well as seed oil content and fatty acid composition in sun...

Urban waste compost, manure and nitrogen fertilizer effects on the initial growth of corn (Zea mays L.)

Field experiment was conducted in 2008 at the Research Field of Agricultural College of Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran to investigate the effects of urban waste compost (UWC), manure and chemical fertilizer on the initial growth of corn (Zea mays). Experimental design was split plot factorial with three replications. Main plots were assigned to nitrogen (N) fertilizer (0 and 200 kg N ha-1), an...
