in order to evaluate different sources and rates of nitrogen on dry matter yield, concentration and uptake of primary macronutrients (nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium) in forage sorghum (hybrid of speedfeed), three levels of nitrogen (80, 160 and 240 kg n ha-1) from three n sources (urea fertilizer, cattle manure and equal combination of urea fertilizer + cattle manure) and the control (no f...

Three lamb metabolism experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of chronic administration of the novel urease inhibitor N (n-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT) on ruminal N metabolism, fermentation, and N balance. In Exp. 1, ruminally cannulated wethers (n = 28; 45.0 +/- .9 kg) were administered one of seven doses of NBPT (0 [control], .125, .25, .5, 1, 2, or 4 g of NBPT daily) a...

Foliar application of nitrogen (N) is used to supplement soil N application in order to meet high N requirements of crops (Oosterhuis, 1999). Urea is the most common foliar N source in cotton, due to its relatively low toxicity, quick absorption, and low cost (Maples and Baker, 1993; McConnell et al., 1998, Oosterhuis and Bondada, 2001). However in the literature, reports of yield increments wi...

to study the effect of vermicompost and urea and iron sulfate fertilizers on the growth characteristics and yield of sunflower seed (helianthus annuus l.) an pediment was conducted in darreh gaz located in khorasan razavi province in 2012. factorial experiment in a randomized complete block design with three factors and three repetition. in this experiment three levels of urea (50; 150 and 250 ...

Two metabolism trials were conducted with 12 yearling crossbred wethers per trial (34 and 38 kg for trials 1 and 2, respectively). The wethers, equipped with ruminal, abomasal and ileal cannulae, were randomly allotted for each trial to the following treatments: 1) hay alone or hay supplemented with 2) .9% urea, 3) 1% urea and 6.5% molasses or 4) 1% urea and 5.2% corn. Two digestive flow marker...

The objective of this study was to determine the brain volume changes that occur secondary to hemofiltration during cardiopulmonary bypass in patients with renal failure. We hypothesized that in patients with elevated urea levels, quick aggressive hemofiltration could be associated with cerebral edema. We constructed a simple two-compartment model similar to the urea kinetic model developed by ...
