There has been increasing attention toward the influence of biofertilizers on composition microbial communities associated with crop plants. We investigated impact Azospirillum sp. B510, a bacterial strain nitrogen-fixing ability, structure and fungal within rice plant rhizospheres by amplicon sequencing at two sampling stages (the vegetative harvest rice). Principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) ...

Nutritional management is an important factor in the success of crop production. In order to evaluate different level of nitrogen, potassium and zinc fertilizers on agro physiological characteristics of green bean a field experiment was conducted as split-plot based randomized complete block design in three replications, in Varamin university field research during 2011. The main plot included u...

A variable rate fertilizer system was developed for control of fertilizer amount by optical sensor measured NDVI of crop. The paper analyzes the input and output conditions of control system, and designed hardware, algorithm and control of fertilizer, mainly software flow and a feedback control way. In the paper, the variable-rate control system consisted of 6 optical sensors mounted on a boom ...

Precision agriculture is the developing trend of modern agriculture, and the rational utilization of fertilizer is one of the key technologies in the precision agriculture, which needs to fertilize variably according to the crop needs and soil fertility conditions. Thus a fertilizer automated proportioning equipment is developed to Proportion the three fertilizers: Nitrogen fertilizer, Phosphor...

Just after transplanting, the vegetable has difficulty in nutrients uptake. To explore the effect of different fertilization on spring cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata) production and fertilizer use efficiencies, this experiment consisting of six treatments was implemented and divided into three groups: 1) no fertilizer (NF) and vegetable planting fertilizer (VPF); 2) conventional fe...

The inherent problems associated with inorganic fertilizer such as scarcity and high cost informed the invention of cocoa pod husk based organic fertilizer. The impact of the fertilizer on cocoa output is hereby investigated in this study. The study was conducted in Cross-River State, Nigeria and purposive random sampling technique was used to select fifty cocoa farmers including the user and n...

Soil physicochemical properties, soil microbial biomass and bacterial community structures in a rice-wheat cropping system subjected to different fertilizer regimes were investigated in two seasons (June and October). All fertilizer regimes increased the soil microbial biomass carbon and nitrogen. Both fertilizer regime and time had a significant effect on soil physicochemical properties and ba...

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) grown on a clay soil in a direct-seeded, delayed-flood system as used in the southern U.S. requires 30 to 60 lb/acre more nitrogen (N) fertilizer to achieve maximal grain yields compared to rice grown on silt loam soils. Seasonal N fertilizer accumulation studies are almost non-existent for rice grown on clay soils. Therefore, a two-year field study was conducted to evalu...

The relationship between the accumulation of nitrate in the soil and its concentration in groundwater and in various plant systems is still not fully understood, but it indicates a high correlation between nitrate leaching and environmental and managerial factors. In this study in order to model the movement of nitrate in the soil profile and loss of fertilizer in the root zone using NLEAP GIS ...
