Grain amaranth, a pseudo-cereal with a rich history as a source of food in Meso America, is an attractive alternative crop suitable to be produced in semi-arid conditions. Grain amaranth production in the United States was 1,800 ha in 1991 (Stallknecht and Schulz-Schaeffer 1991). Most amaranth production is located in the Great Plains, especially in Western Nebraska (Williams and Brenner 1995),...

in order to study the qualitative and quantitative yield and some agronomic characteristics of sunflower (helianthus annus l.) in response to seed inoculation with pgpr under various levels of nitrogen fertilizer, a factorial experiment was conducted based on a randomized complete block design with three replications in field experimental university of mohaghegh ardabili during growing season o...

the use of organic fertilizer brings about an increase in the organic matter of soil and the microbiological activities. generally as the soil in many parts of iranis poor, the use of manure is suggested for improvement of soil structure and physical and chemical properties to increase yield and to reach a sustainable agriculture. this investigation was conducted during 2001-2004 in karaj at th...

A field experiment was conducted on deep vertisols of Bhopal, India to evaluate the manural potential of three organic manures: farmyard manure (FYM), poultry manure (PM), phosphocompost (PC) vis-a-vis 0%, 75% and 100% recommended dose of fertilizer-NPK and to find out the most productive cropping system at various combinations of organic manures and chemical fertilizers. The seed yield of inte...

a field experiment was conducted during 2003-4, 2004-5 cropping seasons evalute the effects of plant density on growth and yield of different rapeseed cultivars. the study was carried out at ramin agriculture and natural resources university (35 km from northeast of ahwaz). the experiment was in the form of split plots' based upon a complete randomized block design of four replications. ma...

Th e response of diff erent fertilizer doses was studied on the ratoon crop as well as main crop. Th e diff erent fertilizer doses under the study were F1 (N=90, P2O5 = 45, K2O=50, S=13, Zn = 4: in kg ha-1), F2 (N=105, P2O5 = 55, K2O=60, S=13, Zn = 4: in kg ha-1), F3 (N=120, P2O5 = 65, K2O=70, S=13, Zn = 4: in kg ha-1), F 4(N =135, P2O5 =75, K2O=80, S=13, Zn=4: in kg ha-1) and F5 (N=150, P2O5 =...

in order to study the effect of mallow weed competition and nitrogen (n) rates on grain yield and yield components of wheat cv. chamran, a field experiment was conducted in 2009. the experiment was designed as a split-plot with three replications and additive series. the n application rates were assigned in the main-plots (50, 100, 150 and 200 kg.n.ha-1) and sub-plots consisted of target common...

to evaluate the effects of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr) such as azotobacter chroococcum, azospirillum lipoferom and brasilence and pseudomonas fluorescens and nitrogen fertilizer from urea source on yield and yield components of maize (zea mays l.) double cross hybrids (dc 370), a field experiment was carried out in a factorial experiment (5*3) in rcbd with 4 replications. bacter...
