degradation of dry matter (dm) and nitrogen (n) in fresh or frozen-thawed alfalfa and ryegrass was studied by using in situ technique. the forages were labeled with 15n during growth in a glasshouse, harvested at similar growth phase, and fresh (f) or frozen-thawed (ft) samples were incubated in the rumen of 3 sheep. there was no difference (p>0.05) between forage type (s) for the immediately s...

Chemical fertilizers, which contain a nitrogen (N) element, has been intensively used to increase the peanut productivity. However, unstable and high cost of N fertilizer, great demand for fertilizer sources have strongly increased strategical plan fixation (NF). Therefore, field research was carried out appraise ability Rhizobium sp. trains chicken manure (CM) on quality yield peanuts. This fo...

this study was conducted to evaluate changes in antioxidants, free proline, relative water content and determination of root colonization of four commercial wheat (triticum aestivum l.) cultivars (azar2, darab2, shiraz, and falat) inoculated with the fungus glomus intraradices, under four water regimes of 100, 75, 50, and 25% of field capacity in the year 2010 at the school of agriculture, shir...

a trial study was set to assess the influence of the plant residue management in conjuction with application of different nitrogen sources on accumulation and translocation of wheat stem reserves, at the agricultural faculty of shahid chamran university of ahvaz during 2011-2012. the experimental design was split plot at randomized completed block design arrangement. the main plot were differen...

Tuberose is one of the most important aromatic cut flower among ornamental plants that its growth and quality is influenced by the type and percentage of mineral compounds in the substrate. This study was carried out on the basis of a randomized complete design to explore the impact of feldspar, talc, dolomite and tuff minerals at the rate of 10, 20 and 40% incorporated with garden soil and man...

Chlorella pyrenoidosa was grown in a continuous-flow chemostat under nitrogen-limited conditions. The population density tended to oscillate very significantly. Net specific growth rate was only approximately a hyperbolic function of nitrate concentration in the chemostat. The best estimate of the half-saturation constant for nitrate is 6 mug of nitrogen per liter and it is unlikely that the va...
