To investigate the interacting effects of polymer coated urea (PCU) and polymer coated potassium chloride (PCPC) on cotton growth, an experiment was conducted with containerized plants in 2014 and 2015. There were two kinds of nitrogen fertilizer, PCU and urea, which were combined with PCPC at three application rates (40, 80 and 120 kg ha-1). The kinds of nitrogen fertilizer formed the main plo...

Abstract Fertilizer applications on lawns have raised environmental concerns in many Canadian municipalities. In this greenhouse study, NO 3 –N leaching losses from Kentucky bluegrass ( Poa pratensis L.) were evaluated two soils (a schist loam and a clay loam) sand/peat moss rootzone mix (80% sand, 20% peat moss). Eight different fertilizer N sources (urea, Polyon 8 12‐wk release, Duration 45 9...

We examined the effects of a forest fertilizer (urea) on newly metamorphosed terrestrial amphibians (Western toads, Bufo boreas; Cascades frogs, Rana cascadae; long-toed salamanders, Ambystoma macrodactylum; and roughskin newts, Taricha granulosa). We examined avoidance behavior of Western toads and Cascades frogs on both paper towel and soil substrates dosed with urea (control and 100 kg N/ha ...

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...

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most important cereal crops in Ethiopia, however yield crop low mainly due to soil fertility management, lack using balanced fertilizer and improved wheat varieties. The experiment was conducted determine effect varieties, rate their interaction on components economic feasibility application for optimum bread Jimma Arjo district with four levels NPSB r...

The aim of this study was to compare the effects of four fertilizer applications-control (C), chemical fertilizer (F), compost (O), and in situ earthworm breeding (E)-on the growth, quality and yield of papaya (Carica papaya L.). In this study, 5 g plant-1 urea (CH4N2O, %N = 46.3%) and 100 g plant-1 microelement fertilizer was applied to each treatment. The fertilizer applications of these four...

this experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect of rhizobium strains and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr) on dry matter partitioning and some growth parameters of chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) arman cultivar. this research was conducted as split plot based on complete random block design at zanjan university research farm. irrigation levels (optimum irrigation during season gr...

more nitrogen use efficiency in crops is important for maintaining and developing sustainable agriculture. in order to study the effect of different levels of mushroom compost and different resource of nitrogen on yield, yield attributes and nitrogen use efficiency of wheat (triticum aestivum l.), an experiment was conducted at faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran, durin...

low nitrogen (n) use efficiency is considered to be one of the major problems in wheat production fields all over the world. this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of nitrification inhibitor (ni) 3, 4- dimethylpyrazole phosphate (dmpp) on the yield and nitrogen use efficiency of spring wheat (triticum aestivum l.) cv. bahar during 2011 at shahrekord university. a factorial experi...
