this study set out to investigate the effect of bio-fertilizers containing nitrogen-fixing bacteria and phosphorus on grain yield and yield components of faba bean. to this end a factorial experiment on the basis of randomized complete block design with four replications was conducted in behbahan region at south eastern part of khuzestan province of iran. the experimental treatments included ni...

Studies on effect of organic, inorganic and bio-fertilizers yield quality attributes potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) variety Kufri Jyoti, comprising 10 different treatments using randomized complete block design with three replications were conducted at Post Graduate Centre, University Horticultural Sciences, Campus, Gandhi Krishi Vignana Kendra, Bangalore during Rabi 2011. Application 50% RDF + ...

Plant water use efficiency (WUE) is defined as the net dry matter production (DM) per unit of consumptive water use. It is a vital variable for plant growth, yield, and irrigation-management models. Pecan [Carya illinoinensis (Wangenh.) C. Koch] WUE has been estimated for above ground biomass growth using evapotranspiration (ET) and DM data measured separately in different experiments. The WUE ...

We investigated if elevated CO(2) could alleviate the negative effect of high temperature on fruit yield of strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch. cv. Toyonoka) at different levels of nitrogen and also tested the combined effects of CO(2), temperature and nitrogen on fruit quality of plants cultivated in controlled growth chambers. Results show that elevated CO(2) and high temperature caused a f...

cultivation of high efficacy crops in resource utilization, especially with higher water and radiation use efficiencies is one of the important strategies to achieve the goals of sustainable agriculture. align with these guidelines and in order to estimate light extinction coefficient and radiation use efficiency of sesame a split plot arrangement of two factors based on randomized complete blo...

The objectives of this research were to study the varieties and relationships of yield and quality traits under two harvesting management procedures concerning forage dry matter (DM yield) and 5 quality traits such as Dry Matter Digestibility (DMD%), Water Soluble Carbohydrates (WSC%), Crude Protein (CP%), Acid Detergent Fibre (ADF%) and total ash in tall wheatgrass (Agropyron elongatum). In th...

production of onion all thruough the year particularly in semi tropical regions has been considered as an alternative to fulfil the local markets needs. in order to determine the best amount and method of urea fertilizer application so that to have higher yeild and lower amount of nitrate content the effects of seven levels of urea fertilizer including 0, 90, 180, 270, 360, 450 and 540 kg of ni...

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...
