effects of organic manure (poultry manure) applied alone and integrated with inorganic fertilizer (urea) on yield and yield component, n-uptake and soil fertility in wheat-maize cropping system was evaluated in a field experiment at nuclear institute for food and agriculture, peshawar, pakistan. poultry manure was applied alone and were integrated in different proportions with mineral nitrogeno...

OBJECTIVE The study aimed to assess the N use efficiency (NUE) of pig slurry (in comparison with chemical fertilizer) for each regrowth yield and annual herbage production and their nutritive value. METHODS Consecutive field experiments were separately performed using a single application with a full dose of N (200 kg N/ha) in 2014 and by four split applications in 2015 in different sites. Th...

recently, increase in crop production depends on better seedling establishment, emergence rate and uniformity. thus, an experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design with 8 fertilizer treatments and 4 replications in 2008 at sari agricultural sciences and natural resources university. the aim of this research was to evaluate effect of vermicompost (vc) on bush bean seedling e...

Background & Aim:Peppermint known for its healing properties is a plant from the Labiatae family. Currently, different rates of nitrogenous fertilizers are used in production of peppermint while there is no precise information available about how much of nitrogen fertilizer is the optimum rate for this plant. The main purpose of this research was to evaluate the response of pep...

background and objectives: although chemical fertilizers in short-term can increase vegetables yield, but must be renewed each planting season that this trend increases the concentration of nitrate in the vegetables shoots, nitrogen leaching and contamination of water resources, loss of beneficial insects and microorganisms and soil fertility will decline, and over time reduce the yield and qua...

recently, using the source of organic fertilizers and biofertilizers in sustainable crop production is growing. in order to evaluate the effect of organic compounds, biofertilizers and chemical fertilizer on morphological properties, yield and yield components of forage sorghum (sorghum bicolor) a field experiment was conducted in the research farm, college of agriculture, ferdowsi university o...

Urea is the most widely used nitrogen (N) fertilizer in direct-seeded, delayed-flood rice production. Urea fertilizer is susceptible to loss as ammonia gas to the atmosphere if not flooded in a timely manner. A urease inhibitor [i.e. N-(n-butyl) thiophosphorictriamide; NBPT] is recommended when a timely flood cannot be established. Recent research has indicated that when relative humidity (RH) ...

Urea coating has been conducted using polylactic acid (PLA) blended with an industrial softwood kraft lignin. The latter was pre-functionalized via esterification or Mannich reaction. The coated urea becomes therefore a highly effective nitrogen fertilizer due to the controlled release after the coating, the slow release from the organically bound nitrogen structure formed after the Mannich rea...
