background: qual2k is a stream water quality model and was used to evaluate the water quality of the kine-vars river and assess the response of the river to nutrient management strategies. methods: for that purpose, 7 sample stations were selected and surface water samples were collected in the winter and summer of 2012 and were analyzed for temperature, dissolved oxygen, biological oxygen dema...

Biological treatment of high-strength nitrogen wastewater by a combined anaerobic (upflow sludge bed filter, UBF)/aerobic (membrane bioreactor, MBR) system has been studied. This system exhibited high performance on the removal of organic matter and nitrogen simultaneously. Organic and nitrogen concentrations increased from 6,000 to 14,500 mg/L and 300 to 1,000 mg/L, respectively. At the intern...

This study aimed to investigate the effects of nitrogen fertilizer and a bioherbicide on Egyptian broomrape in a tomato research field at College of Agriculture, Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran in 2014. Treatments consisted of several levels of nitrate ammonium including 0, 100, 200 and 300 kg ha-1 and a biofertilizer as the first factor and how to use the bioherbicide including soak...

Canola sensitivity to delayed sowing date should be managed in such a way that the observance of crop rotation with less reduced in seed yield. The research was conducted to evaluate the yield variation of Hyola401 hybrid, affected by sowing date and nitrogen fertilizer treatments. In this study, the effect of planting date and different levels of nitrogen fertilizers on effective characteristi...

Plants adopt various strategies to fulfill their nitrogen nutrition requirement, the most important being the uptake of nitrate from the soil and its subsequent assimilation in to amino acids. The uptake of nitrate is energy dependent and is an active process involving high affinity and low affinity transport systems. The net uptake of the anion depends upon both influx as well as on its passiv...

nitrate and ammonium ions are the two major forms of nitrogen that taken up by plants, but they differ in their effects on growth and chemical composition of biochemical levels. in this research we examined the effect of nitrogen sources on growth and senescence of rice leaves in biochemical levels. our results showed that amounts of fresh and dry weights, total chlorophyll, rate of hill,s reac...

We use a 3-D global chemical transport model (GEOS-Chem) to interpret aircraft observations of nitrate and sulfate partitioning in transpacific dust plumes during the INTEX-B campaign of April–May 2006. The model includes explicit transport of size-resolved mineral dust and its alkalinity, nitrate, and sulfate content. The observations show that particulate nitrate is primarily associated with ...
