effects of organic manure (poultry manure) applied alone and integrated with inorganic fertilizer (urea) on yield and yield component, n-uptake and soil fertility in wheat-maize cropping system was evaluated in a field experiment at nuclear institute for food and agriculture, peshawar, pakistan. poultry manure was applied alone and were integrated in different proportions with mineral nitrogeno...

soil compaction is one of the most prevailed limitations for crop growth. the use of organic matters as fertilizer on agricultural soils can reduce the effects of soil compaction and provide the nutrients for the plants. so, a factorial experiment was carried out in a randomized complete blocks design with three replications. the first factor was the source and amount of organic fertilizer (far...

This study examined the efficiency of different organic waste materials as NPK fertilizer, in addition to the risk for leaching losses related to shower precipitation in the first part of the growing season. The experiment was tested in a pot trial on a sandy soil in a greenhouse. Six organic fertilizers were evaluated: liquid anaerobic digestate (LAD) sourced from separated household waste, ni...

abstract- to investigate the effects of bio-chemical and organic fertilizers on yield and seeds npk contents of pumpkin (cucurbita pepo var. styriaca), an experiment was conducted at the research farm of kurdistan university in 2009 growing season. treatments were included 1) control, 2) seeds inoculated with free-living n fixing bacteria (nfb), 3) seeds inoculated with phosphate-solubilizing b...

Recent research on seeds of bio-diesel plants like Jatropha curcas, constituting 40-50% bio-crude oil indicates its potential as one of the most promising alternatives to conventional sources of energy. Also, limited studies on utilization of de-oiled cake have revealed that Jatropha bio-waste has good potential to be used as organic fertilizers produced via aerobic and anaerobic treatment. How...

The application of organic fertilizers alone or in combination with bio-fertilizers is important for sustainable agriculture, healthy agricultural production and restoring soil quality. Compost, vermicompost and mycorrhiza amendments could improve soil quality and plant yield. However, little is known about their impact on yield and quality of European borage (Borago officinalis L.). To evaluat...

This research set out to evaluate the effect of combined biological and chemical nitrogen fertilizers on some corn hybrids. To this end an experiment was conducted as split plot on the basis of randomized complete block design with four replications. Main plots were included: use of chemical and biological fertilizers in four levels: 100% chemical fertilizer, 75% chemical fertilizer + 100% bio-...

abstract this study was conducted under cold climate condition in khorasan during 2006-2008 growing seasons to evaluation of soil fertility in wheat-based double cropping systems under different rate of nitrogen and return of crop residues. a randomized complete block design with split-split plot arrangement and three replicates was used. main plots were five crop rotations namely: wheat-wheat,...

in order to study the influence of municipal waste compost and chemical fertilizer on yield and yield components in maize (zea mays l.) an experiment was conducted at research farm of sari agricultural sciences and natural resources university during 2007. the experiment was arranged in split plots based on complete randomized block design with two factors and three replications. main plot incl...
