Production of Mrenda (Corchorus olitorius) in Kenya has been low due to various reasons, such as poor agronomic practices like incorrect fertilizer rates. Observations from the Mrenda growing areas showed that there is high unmet demand for crop in local market and even for export. This is due to yields being low, 2-4 tons/ha as compared to expected yield of 5-8 tons/ha. Therefore, the main obj...

in order to study the effects of different levels of drought stress and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria on the germination indices of seeds harvested from wheat (tritium aestivum l.) cv. sayonz in the field treated with different levels of nitrogen, in controlled conditions, a factorial layout based on completely randomized design with three replications, was conducted. treatments included...

in order to investigate the effect of mycorrhizal fungi and phosphorus fertilizer on concentration of leaf nutrients and photosynthetic pigments of bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.) in condition of irrigation with saline water, an experiment was conducted based on completely randomized design with three replications in greenhouse of bahonar university of kerman, iran during 2010. the studied factors...

an experiment was conducted as a split plot based on complete randomized block design with three replications in the fall of 2010 at the farm of lorestan university, khorramabad, iran. four winter wheat cultivars (marvdasht, azar, shiraz and line m-79-7) as the main plot and levels of iron oxide nanoparticles (ion) along with control treatment were the subplot. iron fertilizer spraying was done...

to study the effect of three soil fertilizing systems (chemical, organic, and integrated) on forage yield and quality of globe artichoke (cynara scolymus) an experiment was conducted using a randomized complete block design (rcbd) of four replications at the research farm of college of agriculture, university of tehran, karaj, iran in 2006. the treatments included 5 levels of chemical fertilize...

management of chemical fertilizers application is very important issues on environment and plant yield especially in arid and-semi arid region. in order to determine the effects of drought stresses and fertilizer levels on quantity and quality yields of psyllium (plantago ovata l.), a study was conducted as split plot based on randomized complete block design with four replications at the natur...

to evaluate the effect of drought stress, biofertilizer and chemical phosphorus fertilizer on yield and seed protein percentage of two lentil cultivars, an experiment was conducted in split factorial based on crbd design with 4 replications in research farm of university of tehran (karaj-iran) during 2009-10. the main factor including three irrigation levels (irrigation after 70, 90 and 130 mm ...
