Microbial biomass nitrogen and carbon were studied in long-term field experiments with continuous cultivation of silage maize and with crop rotation. a positive effect of organic fertilizers on the microbial biomass nitrogen and the carbon content in soil was observed. Statistically significant effect of organic fertilizers on the higher content of microbial biomass C and n was established in t...

The rate of growth the global population poses a risk to food security, demanding an increase in production. Much world's cultivable soils also do not have ideal farming conditions such as soil health and fertility problem increased pest attacks, which are challenges In this perspective, there is need agricultural production using more economically environmentally sustainable approach. As pract...

There seems to be conflicting information about foliar fertilizers and their timing of application to cotton. Much of the confusion lies in the variety of fertilizer products available. A cotton fanner now has a choice of applying foliar fertilizers (according to fertilizer labels) beginning at the first true leaf stage and continuing until defoliation. This newsletter will focus on available i...

introduction: in recent years many farmers in iran interested in to cultivate and produce different medicinal plants which are so important in traditional agriculture in iran. in order to reduce the environmental impacts of using chemical inputs and also to increase the quality of plant secondary metabolite components, the emphasis is on sustainable agriculture base on using of organic and biol...

Nitrogen is the most important essential nutrient that plays a major role in achieving maximum crop yield in agriculture. Therefore, nitrogen fertilizers such as ammonium sulfate and urea have been extensively used in modern agriculture. These fertilizers are generally oxidized to nitrate via nitrite by nitrifying microorganisms in the agricultural field (4, 10, 11). The serious environmental p...

Abstract Poor soil health adversely affects farming and forestry sectors worldwide. Microbial fertilizers can improve the plant-soil continuum in degraded ecosystem. In this research, microbiome, plant biomass root-shoot ratio of 2 mo-old Bauhinia purpurea , transplanted on aseptic + sand mixture (1:1) upon inoculation with 5 g AMF (MYKOCAP ® coded as MCAP MYKORICH MRICH), or without NFB (Bio-N...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are obligate symbionts that require a host plant (tramp) and support (substrates) to be applied as bio-fertilizers in agriculture. The objective of this study is assess eight native AMF consortia semi-arid zones (C1-ART, C2-GEC, C3-PAR, C4-VIE, C5-CUC, C6-SAC, C7-SAB, C8-MUZ) their reproduction response three organic substrates: coffee pulp (CP), bovine manure...

Coffee seedlings are commonly produced on substrate composed of a mixture soil and cattle manure, supplemented with chemical fertilizers. Alternatives to reduce production costs produce greater quality health include the use commercial organic substrates, which require less handling. The beneficial microorganisms such as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can be considered good alternative for ...

Urban agriculture has been recently highlighted with the increased importance for recreation in modern society; however, soil quality and public health may not be guaranteed because of continuous exposure to various pollutants. The objective of this study was to evaluate the soil quality of urban agriculture by soil microbial assessments. Two independent variables, organic and inorganic fertili...
