Abstract:

In order to investigate the possibility of using organic fertilizers in tobacco floating nursery, an experiment was conducted at tobacco research institute of Urmia in 2010. The experiment was done as factorial trail based on randomized complete block design (CRBD) with four replications. The levels of first factor were disinfected poultry manure, disinfected pigeon manure, a complete fertilizer (NPK) (15-5-30) and Marmarin fertilizer and the levels of second factor were involved two types of media (100 percent peat and 60 percent animal manure with 40 percent perlite media). During the experiment the concentration of nitrogen and ammonium levels were sampled and analyzed in nutrient solution after 10 days. The most of the nitrate and ammonium ( 48.82 and 63.8 ppm )  were obtained from chemical fertilizer in the peat media at the first sampling whereas the lowest nitrate and ammonium (4.02 and 5.57 ppm ) was belonged to chemical fertilizer at  peat media and chemical fertilizer at perlite media with manure treatments, respectively, which was recorded at fourth stage of sampling

Dynamic Modeling on Nitrogen Assignment in Tobacco

Many external and internal studies in based on the relevant literature and consult to tobacco experts,based on the experimental research of the years between 2004 and 2005, the basic model of soil-N of distribution was developed after analysising the content of nitrogen in the whole plant of tobacco. The model is designed to simulate dynamically absorption and distribution of nitrogen for tobac...

Tobacco farmers and tobacco manufacturers: implications for tobacco control in tobacco-growing developing countries.

Assisting tobacco farmers to transition to non-tobacco alternatives is a key element of comprehensive tobacco control's end-game strategy and specifically required by the World Health Organization (WHO) Framework Convention for Tobacco Control (FCTC). We examine the historical relationship between tobacco manufacturers and tobacco farmers in the United States, where the duration of the relation...

Grafting to improve nitrogen-use efficiency traits in tobacco plants

Nitrate plays a major role in the yield and quality of tobacco plants. This work explored the nitrogen-use efficiency (NUE) and how it can be affected by grafting. Two experiments were designed: in the first, using six commercial tobacco cultivars, the best cultivar for the NUE was selected and analysed for foliar NO3− content, total N, nicotine and nitrate reductase (NR) activity. The results ...
