Due to increasing scarcity of fresh water, use of unconventional water source (e.g., wastewater) in irrigation has now become important. However, inclusive information on the effects of wastewater on crop production and soil health is necessary for such intervention. This study was designed to evaluate these effects by demonstrating the contribution of municipal wastewater (hereafter called was...

Hermetic storage is used to protect grain against insect pests, but its utility is not limited to whole grains. We evaluated hermetically-sealed, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles for preserving wheat and maize flour against red flour beetle (RFB, Tribolium castaneum, Herbst) population growth. Flours infested with RFB and kept in sealed PET bottles experienced much less weight loss over...

This study was carried out in order to evaluate the changes of Nitrogen, phosphor and potassium uptake by wheat and remaining of them in soil under foliar application of Leonardite and foliar application of N and K. The experiment was conducted in Gorgan University of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources during 2013- 2014. The experiment was laid out a using split-plot arrangement based ...

Cereal Chern. 61(5): 423-427 Whole wheat and flour were fermented to make alcohol. The residue, after alcohol was distilled, was fractionated into distillers' grains, centrifuged solids, and distillers' solubles. Distillers' grains and centrifuged solids had protein contents of 29 and 57%, respectively, and accounted for Fermentation of cereal grains to make alcohol produces a protein-rich mate...

Field studies were established on the alluvial floodplain soils in Louisiana, from 2013 to 2015, to evaluate the effect of silicate slag applications on productivity of wheat (Triticum aestivum), under sufficient and high nitrogen (N) application rates. Treatments were arranged in a randomized complete block design, with four replications consisting of twelve treatments: a factorial combination...

to evaluate the competition between wheat and wild mustard (sinapis arvensis) in nitrogen and herbicide levels, an experiment was conducted in ramin agriculture and natural resources university, at 2007-8. a split-plots design in rcbd (randomized complete blocks design) with three replications was used for this experiment. the nitrogen levels (0, 60, 120 and 180kg/ha) arranged in main plots. ea...

in this research for study the effects of nitrogen fertilizer on yield and yield components of current rice cultivars was an experiment as factorial in rcbd with three replications where conducted during 2009 year in two locations (rice research institute, rasht, and rudsar, east of guilan). factors were cultivars (khazar, ali kazemi and hashemi), and nitrogen fertilizer levels (0, 30, 60, and ...

Winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) produced in Nebraska (NE) is often inconsistent in yield largely due to variability in environmental conditions. Managing production practices may ameliorate this problem of winter wheat in NE. The objective of this study was to identify the combined effects of seeding rate (3), genotype (6), and top-dressed nitrogen (2) on the yield and agronomic characteris...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term (16-years) nitrogenefficiency after the application of organic and mineral fertilizers at two sitesLukavec (S1) and Suchdol (S2) with different soil and climatic conditions in theCzech Republic (Central Europe) and to determine grain yield and nitrogen contentwith regard to the requirements of protein content for baking quality of wheat.After ...
