Maize grain yield varies highly with water availability as well as with fertilization and relevant agricultural management practices. With a 311-A optimized saturation design, field experiments were conducted between 2006 and 2009 to examine the yield response of spring maize (Zhengdan 958, Zea mays L) to irrigation (I), nitrogen fertilization (total nitrogen, urea-46% nitrogen,) and phosphorus...

The aim of this research was to investigate the effect of inoculation (Azotobacter chroococcum and actinomycetes) and nitrogen mineral fertilizers (doses of 60 kg N ha-1 and 120 kg N ha-1) on the yield of wheat and on the number and activity of certain microorganisms in rhizospheric soil. The investigation was carried out in humogley soil with three wheat varieties. The variants of the experime...

introduction: nitrogen (n) is one of the most important growth-limiting nutrients for dryland wheat. mineral nitrogen or ammonium (nh4+) and nitrate (no3−) are two common forms of inorganic nitrogen that can serve as limiting factors for plant growth. nitrogen fertilization in dryland area can increase the use of soil moisture, and improve wheat yields to some extent. many researchers have been...

this study was conducted in 2008 at the research field of university of tehran, karaj. the experiment was designed as a randomized complete block design with three replications. treatments were: atrazine 1kg/ha, alachlor 4kg/ha, atrazine+alachlor (1+4) kg/ha, nicosulfuron 80 g ai/ha, furamsulfuron 45g ai/ha, rimsulfuron 25g ai/ha, nicosulfuron+furamsulfuron (80+45) g ai/ha, nicosulfuron+rimsulf...

Whole-crop wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) as forage has been extensively used in the world. In this study, the effects of N application rates on the yields, nutritive value and silage quality were investigated. The N application rates were 0, 75, 150, 225, and 300 kg/ha. The research results indicated that the dry matter yield of whole-crop wheat increased significantly with increasing N rate up ...

in order to study the effects of different irrigation regimes and nitrogen fertilizer levels on yield and yield components of chickpea (ilc482), a field experiment involving chickpea genotype ilc482 was conducted as factorial arrangement based on a randomized complete block design with four replications in the agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad during growing season o...

Input-output budgets for dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) are summarized for 24 small watersheds at 15 locations in the northeastern United States. The study watersheds are completely forested, free of recent physical disturbances, and span a geographical region bounded by West Virginia on the south and west, and Maine on the north and east. Total N budgets are not presented; however, fluxes ...

first of all, in order to determine the high yielding rapeseed varieties, two field experiments were performed in 2006-2008 cropping seasons in agricultural and natural resources research center of markazi province, arak (34º 5´ n; 49º 42´ e, and 1775 m above sea level), iran. in this research, 15 winter rapeseed varieties were compared in a randomized complete block design with three replicati...
