In a 3-yr study, 135 crossbred steers (330 ± 10 kg) were used in a randomized complete block design to evaluate corn dried distillers grains plus solubles (DDGS) fed to yearling steers as a substitute for forage and N fertilizer and its effect on N use efficiency in yearling steers grazing smooth bromegrass pastures. Steers were initially stocked at 6.8 animal unit months (AUM)/ha on nonfertili...

An experiment was carried out at the Horticulture Farm of the Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during the period from November 2010 to January 2011 to study the effects of cowdung and potassium on growth and yield of Kohlrabi. The experiment consisted of three levels of cowdung (0, 20 and 40 t/ha) and four levels of potassium (0, 20, 50, 80 kg /ha). The experiment was laid out in ...

sewage sludge with having the organic matter is considered as a source of micro and macro elements. in order to investigate the effect of different levels and period of application of sewage sludge (ss) on organic matter, respiration, and acid and alkaline phosphatase activity, factorial design were studied, in 3 replications. sewage sludge at five levels, (20 and 40 tons of sewage sludge, 20 a...

Microalgae feedstock production can be integrated with wastewater and industrial sources of carbon dioxide. This study reviews the literature on algae grown on wastewater and includes a preliminary analysis of algal production based on anaerobic digestion sludge centrate from the Howard F. Curren Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant (HFC AWTP) in Tampa, Florida and secondary effluent from the Ci...

Rice (Oryza sativa) is India's pre-eminent crop, it is the most widely consumed staple food for a large part of the world's human population, especially in Asia. Moreover, the country has the biggest area under rice cultivation, as it is one of the principal food crops. India is one of the leading producers of this crop, with a production, productivity of 105.48 million tons and 2391 kg per hec...

in order to evaluate the effect of zeolite application and selenium spraying on some physiological traits and grain yield in medicinal pumpkin (cucurbita pepo l.) under different moisture regimes, a study was conducted in a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications during 2010 in takestan at gazvin province, iran. the three levels of irrigation facto...

The objective of this study was to determine the specific methane yields of four grass species (cocksfoot, tall fescue, reed canary grass and timothy) cultivated under boreal conditions as well as how harvesting time and year of cultivation affects the specific methane yields per ha. The specific methane yields of all grasses and all harvests varied from 253 to 394 Nl CH4/kg volatile solids (VS...

this experiment was conducted for determining the effect of irrigation termination before harvesting and late application of nitrogen on sugar beet yield, quality and root rot during 1993-95 at safiabad agricultural research center. different irrigation termination and late nitrogen application treatments had a significant effect on root yield. terminating irrigation 1 and 3 weeks before harves...
