: In order to study the effect of different nitrogen levels on yield components and seed yield of three barley cultivars, an experiment was conducted in 2011-2012 in a research farm of farming building of Islamic Azad University Khorasgan (Isfahan) Branch located in Khatunabad village (latitude 32o /40' N and Longitude 51o /48' E). A split plot layout within randomized com...

Crop production is threatened by the increased nitrogen (N) input and declining N use efficiency (NUE). Information on total N input from planted seeds/tubers, atmospheric deposition, irrigation water, crop residues, animal manure, biological N fixation, and synthetic N fertilizer and NUE based on these N inputs in China’s crop production is limited. We calculated the amount of various N inputs...

this experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect of rhizobium strains and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr) on dry matter partitioning and some growth parameters of chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) arman cultivar. this research was conducted as split plot based on complete random block design at zanjan university research farm. irrigation levels (optimum irrigation during season gr...

salicylic acid (sa) is a phyto-hormone that regulates physiological and biological processes in plants and can be used to improve plant growth under different environmental conditions, including water stress. thus, a field experiment as split plot factorial based on randomized complete blocks design with three replications was conducted in 2014 to investigate the effects of fertilizer and salic...

Polymer-coated urea (PCU) was developed to better synchronize nitrogen (N) supply with crop needs and reduce N losses. The objective of this work evaluate the effects different rates prepared using combinations ESN on corn (Zea mays L.), grain yield, yield components, in-season nutritional status, residual soil N. Field experiments were conducted two sites in eastern Ontario (Canada); Kemptvill...

a split plots experiment based on randomized complete blocks design was carried out at field research center of islamic azad university, shoushtar branch during 2012 to find out the suitable sowing date and urea fertilizer used in chamomile (matricaria recutita). main plots including three sowing date (9, 19 and 29 february 2012) and subplots including four levels of urea fertilizers (5, 10, 15...

introduction: an appropriate water resources management and planning is necessary due to the scarcity of water resources and rapidly growing world population. in this regard, selecting appropriate methods for irrigation is one of the most important issues. drip irrigation is a recent advanced irrigation method in which fertilizers can be efficiently applied along with irrigation water. drip fer...

OBJECTIVES This study empirically examined whether dimensions of care cluster in special care units (SCUs) compared with non-SCUs. The relationship between SCU status plus separate measures of the dimensions of care and outcomes for dementia sufferers was then investigated. METHODS Data were drawn from the Intermediate Care Facility Project. The sample (N = 510) included residents with dement...
