to evaluate the effect of time and level of nitrogen application on quantity and quality of two carrot varieties, an experiment was carried out in the framework of a 4×3×2 factorial and based upon a randomized complete block design of three replications. the levels of 25, 50, 75 and 100 kg / ha of nitrogen fertilizer were investigated within 3 applied times, namely: simultaneous with bed prepar...

in order to evaluate the effect of different levels of drought stress and nitrogen fertilizer on growth of strawberry plants, present study was conducted in the mazandaran province in 2010. experiment was carried out as factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replications. drought stress treatments (30, 50 and 70% maximum allowable depletion of moistur (mad)) and nitrogen...

β-glucosidase is involved in the degradation of cellulose in soil and has the potential for monitoring biological soil quality. the objective of this study was to determine the effects of barley residue placement, burning, nitrogen fertilizer and tillage management on β-glucosidase enzyme after a period of 90 days. a field experiment was carried out based on a completely randomized design with ...

the effect of concentration and time of supplementary nitrogen fertilizer spray application on grain yield and nitrogen use efficiency in rapeseed (hyola401) as a second crop in paddy fields were evaluated in a field experiment conducted in randomized complete block design with 3 replications at rice research institute of iran (rasht) in 2008. in this experiment two factors, concentration of so...

in order to study the effects of nitrogen fertilizer on yield and growth of soybean (glycine max l.) an experiment as factorial in rcb design with three replications was conducted during 2006 and 2007 years at north khorasan. factors were cultivar (hobbit, l.w.k., and williams), and nitrogen fertilizer (0, 50, 100, and 150 kg n/ha from urea source). results indicated that cultivar and n fertili...

abstract fertilizer use efficiency (fue) is one way of improving the fertilizer management in agriculture. in this study, spinach (spinacea oleracea) was used as a case study vegetable to determine its nitrogen use efficiency in varamin, iran. an experiment was conducted using split plot design with three replications. treatments included of five levels of n as 0, 150, 200, 250 and 300 kg ha-1 ...

objective: an experiment was performed in ardabil (2012) to investigate the effects of manure consumption in different amounts on reducing nitrogen fertilizer consumption in potato cv. agria. methods: this research was conducted in factorial design based on randomized completely blocks design in three replication  in which two manure factors in three levels (control, 30 and 60 tons/h) and nitro...

Plant Species and Variety Forage quality refers to digestible nutrient content (i.e., energy, protein), palatability and digestibility of the forage plant. Legumes (alfalfa, medics, cloves, vetch) are the highest quality group of forage grown in pastures. They are high in protein, energy (digestibility), and minerals. They also “fix” nitrogen fertilizer, making them very economical to grow. Inc...

There is increasing concern about the sustainability and environmental impacts of mineral fertilizer use in agriculture. Increased recycling of nutrients via the use of animal and green manures and fertilizers made from domestic organic waste may reduce reliance on mineral fertilizers. However, the relative availability of nutrients (especially nitrogen) is lower in organic compared to mineral ...

The efficient management of nitrogen (N) fertilizer and irrigation is of utmost importance because they are two of the greatest expenses for corn production. This project was conducted to determine if yield and efficiency of fertilizer N in corn could be improved by applying N at later developmental stages through a subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) system. Experiments in 2014 and 2015 compared ...
