in order to study the effects of different irrigation system and different amounts of nitrogen fertilizer on yield and quality of sugar beet, an experiment was conducted at ekbatan research station, hamedan during 2005-2006 as split plot based on randomized complete block design  with three replications. the main plots were irrigation systems (furrow, sprinkler and drip irrigation) and subplots...

Synthetic (e.g. urea) and organic fertilizers (e.g. compost) differed markedly in N isotope composition and the greater the difference between organic and synthetic fertilizer the more robust will be the differentiation of crops and vegetable grown under different farming systems. The objective of this study was to compare nitrogen and carbon isotope composition of organic fertilizers and manur...

Increasing diffuse nitrate loading of surface waters and groundwater has emerged as a major problem in many agricultural areas of the world, resulting in contamination of drinking water resources in aquifers as well as eutrophication of freshwaters and coastal marine ecosystems. Although empirical correlations between application rates of N fertilizers to agricultural soils and nitrate contamin...

a trial study was carried out to assess the influence of the plant residue management in conjuction with application of different nitrogen sources on wheat yield and components, at the agricultural faculty of shahidchamran university of ahvaz during 2011-2012.the experimental design was splitplot at randomized completed block design arrangement. the main plot were different wheat residue manage...

N nutrition is one of the most important limitation factors for crop growth and yield. Precise and timely monitoring and detection of crop N nutrient conditions is necessary for improving the efficiency of N nutrition using and crop management, reducing environmental pollution caused by over nitrogen fertilizer application. In this paper the canopy reflectance spectra during the whole growth pe...

Globally, we are applying excessive nitrogen (N) fertilizers to our agricultural crops, which ultimately causes nitrogen pollution to our ecosphere. The atmosphere is polluted by N₂O and NO(x) gases that directly and indirectly increase atmospheric warming and climate change. Nitrogen is also leached from agricultural lands as the water-soluble form NO₃⁻, which increases nutrient overload in ri...

abstract- to investigate the effects of bio-chemical and organic fertilizers on yield and seeds npk contents of pumpkin (cucurbita pepo var. styriaca), an experiment was conducted at the research farm of kurdistan university in 2009 growing season. treatments were included 1) control, 2) seeds inoculated with free-living n fixing bacteria (nfb), 3) seeds inoculated with phosphate-solubilizing b...

The rising fertilizer use accompanying more people eating more has been called exponential (1) and prompted fears of polluted water and consequent methemoglobinemia (2) and hypoxia (3). It also has raised alarm about greenhouse warming (4) and an altered global N cycle and thus primary production (5) and diversity (1) of vegetation. In this plethora of issues we concentrate on a few, beginning ...
