چکیده

abstract improving nitrogen use efficiency (nue) is an important objective of the agroecosystem management. a field experiment was conducted to study the effect of different competition patterns on nitrogen balance in the wheat agroecosystem. experimental design was split–plot based on randomized complete blocks with four replications. the main plots consisted of different nitrogen rates (i.e. 0, 50, 100, 150 kg n ha-1) and sub-plots consisted of four different competitiveness patterns including: no competition, intraspecific competition, interspecific competition and intra- and inter-specific competitions. our results showed that nue decreased with increasing n level, especially under higher n rates. n uptake efficiency (nupe), n harvest index (nhi), n remobilization efficiency (nre), n harvest efficiency (nhe) and n fertilizer utilization efficiency (nfue) were lowest in the intra- and inter-specific competition treatments than others. the differences between each intra- and inter-specific competition treatments were not significant for nupe, n balance index (nbi), nhi, nre and nhe. we suggested that greatly increased suppression of weeds through increased crop density for reducing the use of herbicide can play an important role in a change in both crop yield and crop n use efficiency. this strategy increased nue, n utilization efficiency and n reliance index (nri). moreover, higher intraspecific competition in most cases reduced nupe, nbi and nhe but, had no significant effect on nhi, nri and nfue.

DYNAMIC COMPLEXITY OF A THREE SPECIES COMPETITIVE FOOD CHAIN MODEL WITH INTER AND INTRA SPECIFIC COMPETITIONS

The present article deals with the inter specific competition and intra-specific competition among predator populations of a prey-dependent three component food chain model consisting of two competitive predator sharing one prey species as their food. The behaviour of the system near the biologically feasible equilibria is thoroughly analyzed. Boundedness and dissipativeness of the system are e...

Agroecosystems, nitrogen-use efficiency, and nitrogen management.

The global challenge of meeting increased food demand and protecting environmental quality will be won or lost in cropping systems that produce maize, rice, and wheat. Achieving synchrony between N supply and crop demand without excess or deficiency is the key to optimizing trade-offs amongst yield, profit, and environmental protection in both large-scale systems in developed countries and smal...
