This experiment evaluated forage production, sward structure, stocking rate, weight gain per area and nutritive value of forage as grazed by beef heifers on Alexandergrass (Urochloa plantaginea (Link) Hitch) pasture fertilized with nitrogen (N): 0; 100; 200 or 300 kg of N/ha. The experiment was a completely randomized design following a repeated measurement arrangement. The experimental animals...

in order to study the effect of planting pattern and herbicide application on corn (zea mays l.) grain yield and weeds control, an experiment was carried out in 2007 at varamin research station of plant protection research institute. the experimental design was a randomized complete block in a split plot arrangement with 4 replications. experimental factors consisted of planting patterns at 4 l...

The total biomass of a tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea var. Fletcher) pasture was assessed by using a vehicle mounted light detection and ranging (LiDAR) unit to derive canopy height and an active optical reflectance sensor to determine the spectro-optical reflectance index, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI). In a random plot design, measurements of NDVI and pasture height were com...

A field experiment was conducted to determine the optimum shade level and nitrogen fertilizer for quality Bangladhonia (Eryngium foetidum L.) production at the Bangahandhu Sheikh Mujibar Rahman Agricultural University (BSMRAU) Research Farm during December 2002 to May 2003. The treatments consisted of four shade levels (0, 25, 50, and 75% shades) and five nitrogen rates (0, 115, 138, 161, and 1...

A field experiment was conducted at the Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University Farm, Dhaka 1207 during the period from December 2008 to April 2009 to study the role of potassium and sulphur on the growth, yield and oil content of soybean (Glycine max var.BARI Soybean-5). The experimental soil was clay loam in texture having pH of 6.3. The experiment included four levels of potassium viz. 0, 20, ...

A pot experiment was conducted in the net house of the Department of Agricultural Chemistry, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh to evaluate the influence of phosphorus (P) and sulphur (S) on major nutrient contents and their uptake by brinjal (cv. BARI brinjal-8) during the period from October, 2011 to May, 2012. The experiment was laid out in a completely randomized design with 12 ...

Field experiment was conducted at Central Institute of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (CIMAP), Lucknow to evaluate the growth and yield of geranium and garlic in intercropping system. Maximum dry matter accumulation was noticed during 120-135 DAP. Dry matter accumulation in geranium paired sole was almost equal to geranium paired intercrop. Application of phosphorus at 40 kg P2 O5 ha -1 and 30 k...

There is a need for information about the response of Populus genotypes to repeated application of high-salinity water and nutrient sources throughout an entire rotation. We have combined establishment biomass and uptake data with mid- and full-rotation growth data to project potential chloride (Cl-) and sodium (Na+) uptake for 2- to 11-year-old Populus in the north central United States. Our o...

Field research was conducted at Students Farm, Sindh Agriculture University, Tandojam, Pakistan, during 2005 and 2006. The sunflower variety HO-1 was treated with 0-0, 101.5, 10-2, 15 -1.5, 15-2.0, 201.5 and 202.0 Zn-B kg ha. A basal dose of N, P, and K was applied at the rates of 90, 45 and 45 kg ha respectively across Zn-B treatments. The increase in Zn and B fertility from 10-1.5 to 20-2 kg ...
