AIMS The recent increases in food prices caused by the corresponding increases in fertilizer costs have highlighted the demand for reducing the overuse of fertilizers in industrial agriculture. There has been increasing interest in developing plant root-targeted delivery (RTD) of fertilizers in order to address the problem of inefficient fertilizer use. The aim of this study is to develop a low...

enhancing nitrogen use efficiency is one of the most important strategies for improving productivity in agriculture and reducing risk of environmental pollutions in sustainable agriculture. in order to study the effects of different levels of organic manure and chemical fertilizer on nitrogen uptake efficiency (nupe), nitrogen utilization efficiency (nute) and nitrogen use efficiency (nue) of i...

Background: Creating a new berberine liposome with high encapsulation efficiency and slow release formulation in the treatment of cancer is a new issue. Therefore, the aim of current study was to develop slow release berberine-containing nanoliposome for delivery to bone cancer cells Saos2. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, after synthesis nanoliposomal formulation, physical p...

1 At local spatial scales, species richness tends to fall as productivity rises. Most explanations have focused on increased extinction, but, instead, we test experimentally whether increased soil fertility reduces recruitment. Specifically, we test whether variation in recruitment is due to source limitation, germination limitation or establishment limitation, and how litter accumulation and s...
