The aim of the experiments was to determine effect sowing density and nitrogen fertilisation on cannabidiol (CBD) Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC) yields in selected cultivars fibre hemp. A three-factor field experiment conducted 2014-2016. Factor A: cultivar (Futura 75, KC Dora Tygra), factor B: (60 180 seeds/m2) C: (0, 30, 60 90 kg/ha). CBD yield ranged from 10.52 g/m2 cv. Tygra 10.99 Dora. A...

Moso bamboo, well known for its high growth rate, is being subjected to increasing amounts of nitrogen deposition. However, how anthropogenic management practices regulate the effects of N deposition on Moso bamboo stoichiometry remains poorly understood. We observed the effects of two years of simulated N deposition (30, 60 and 90 kg N ha(-1)yr(-1)) on the foliar stoichiometry of Moso bamboo p...

Background: Reprocessing of sewage sludge to agricultural land is preferred to disposal through landfill or incineration due to its potentially beneficial effects on soil fertility from organic matter and plant nutrients, such as N and P, present in the sludge. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the impact of sewage sludge and chemical fertilizers on Pb and Cd accumulation in ...

Although the nitrogen nutrition index (NNI) is a widely used indicator of plant nitrogenstatus, no model of NNI calculation for spring barley (Hordeum vulgare) reflecting also specificmalting requirements on grain has been published. The aim of this study was to determinean optimal range of the nitrogen nutrition index (ratio of nitrogen concentration in shootbiomass to critical nitrogen concen...

An experiment was conducted at the research farm of Crop Physiology and Ecology Department, Hajee Mohammad Danesh Science and Technology University, Dinajpur, Bangladesh, during November 2013 to April 2014 to determine the growth and yield performance of four varieties of black cumin (Exotic variety, BARI kalozira-1, Faridpur local and Natore local) as influenced by three levels of fertilizers ...

The aim of this experiment was to, under typical Swedish production conditions, evaluate the effects of grass silages subjected to different N-fertilisation regimes fed to dairy cows on the fatty acid (FA) composition of their milk, and to compare the grass silages in this respect to red clover-dominated silage. Grass silages made from first year Phleum pratense L. leys subjected to three N-fer...

To investigate the response of rainfed maize to sowing methods and NPK levels, an experiment was undertaken during kharif of 2011 and 2012 at Dryland (Kerawa) Agriculture Research Station, Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology of Kashmir, Budgam. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with combination of 2 sowing methods (flat sowing, 75 cm apart ro...

grain yield ABSTRACT: A field experiment was conducted to study the symbiotic efficiency of native soil bradyrhizobia with seventeen soybean genotypes during Kharif 2007 in Mollisol of Uttarakhand. The genotype PS 1347 synthesized significantly more tap root and lateral root nodule in comparison to Bragg and PK 416 at all the stages of plant growth. Maximum plant biomass (2.74, 7.78, 22.22 gram...
