چکیده

Recent natural gas price increases have resulted in acutely higher fertilizer prices. Profit and environmental concerns have increased interest in identifying optimal nitrogen application rates. Previous estimates of the profit maximizing nitrogen rate (PMNR) have been estimated assuming that price is fixed and exogenous of yield. We construct a model in which price is correlated to yield shocks, and estimate the PMNR. We find that incorporating correlation information systematically affects the PMNR, however, these effects are small.

Corn production and plant characteristics response to N fertilization management in dry-land conventional tillage system

Nitrogen (N) application management needs to be refined for low yielding environments under dryland conditions. This 3-yr study examined nitrogen fertilization management effects on corn (Zea mays L.) plant characteristics and grain yield in rain fed environment under conventional tillage system. Nitrogen fertilization management consisted of two timing methods of N application [all N at planti...

بهینه سازی اقتصادی آب آبیاری و کود نیتروژن برای گندم در مقادیر مختلف بارندگی (در منطقه مراغه)

Irrigation water Scarcity is the major limiting factor for crop production in irrigated farming. Therefore, optimal use of water is influenced by seasonal rainfall especially where the water price is high. Nitrogen also plays a key role in plant nutrition. In this study, wheat grain yield production as a function of applied water (irrigation plus seasonal rainfall) and nitrogen fertilizer (appl...

Combined effect of Zinc and Boron on yield and nutrients accumulation in corn

The event of partly grain-free ear is a crucial problem which can result in severe reductions in corn yield. In a two year field investigation, during 2003-2004, an experiment was conducted to determine the effect of  boron (B) and zinc (Zn) application on yield and yield components of corn (Zea mays L.) plants grown in a B and Zn-deficient calcareous soil (fine, carbonatic, thermic, Typic Hapl...
