BACKGROUND: Nutrient management is one of the most important factors that affect the growth and production of maize. OBJECTIVES: Current research was conducted to investigate the effect of Mycorrhizas and vermicompost on seed yield, its components and quantities traits such as concentration of protein, starch, zinc, potassium and nitrogen of corn seed.<br...

The present research was conducted to mitigate the environmental contamination and with the aim of evaluating the possible impacts of the application of sugarcane bagasse sewage sludge-based compost (BSC), vermicompost, and fish compost on different aspects of physiology, growth, and development of Lilliumlongiflorum var Ceb-Dazzle. The bulbs were planted in four different prepared soil mixture...

Available data on the isotopic ratio See PDF for Equation of ammonia (r(a)) and that of urea (r(u)) after a single feeding of glycine, aspartic acid, and ammonium citrate are analyzed. From this analysis the following conclusions are drawn. 1. The isotopic ratio See PDF for Equation of ammonia (r(a)) is always higher than that of urea (r(u)) in the initial period after a single feeding of isoto...

Vermicomposting using Lumbricus rubellus for 49 days was conducted after 21 days of pre-composting. Three different combination of treatments were prepared with eight replicates for each treatment namely cow dung: kitchen waste in 30:70 ratio (T(1)), cow dung: coffee grounds in 30:70 ratio (T(2)), and cow dung: kitchen waste: coffee grounds in 30:35:35 ratio (T(3)). The multiplication of earthw...

today, the production of healthy and high quality seedlings is the main factors of success in growing vegetables such as tomato. hence, in order to investigate the effect of different levels of vermicompost and nitrogen on the growth parameters of tomato seedlings (lycopersicon esculentum mill. cv. rio grande), a factorial experiment was conducted in a randomized complete design with three repl...

Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT), the most toxic substance known to mankind, is the first example of the fully active molten globule state. To understand its folding mechanism, we performed urea denaturation experiments and theoretical modeling using BoNT serotype A (BoNT/A). We found that the extent of BoNT/A denaturation from the native state (N) shows a nonmonotonic dependence on urea concentrati...

The growth, yield, and carbon content of eight-month old seedlings of Pongamia pinnata were compared under water and urea supplementation. One set of plants were subjected to water stress condition (WS), whereas the other supplied with 2 g of urea (WS+U) under WS. Both the experimental set ups were exposed to varying treatment levels which include full irrigation (100%, control) followed by 75%...

one of the strategies for improving the quality of agricultural products is using bio-fertilizers. so in order to study the effects of mycorrhizal fungi, vermicompost and humic acid on growth characteristics and yield of fennel, an experiment was studied on research farm of agricultural college of shahrood university. this study was conducted as factorial experiment based on completely randomiz...

The cumulative and residual effects of integrated nutrient management of kharif rice on soil enzyme activities i.e urease, phosphatase, dehydrogenase and cellulase at different growth stages of rabi greengram were tested in an Inceptisol in North Coastal Zone of Andhra Pradesh during rabi 2009 and 2010. Results revealed that all the cumulative treatments showed higher soil enzyme activities at ...
