A field experiment was conducted in 2010, to evaluate the effects of plant density (D1, D2 and D3: 8, 14 and 20 plant/m2) on field performance of Sorghum under different nitrogen application rates (N1, N2 and N3: application of 40, 80 and 120 kg/ha Nitrogen, respectively). The experiment was arranged as factorial based...

Management of nitrogen fertilization in crops is one of the most important components of integrated weed management. A two-year field experiment was conducted to determine the direct effects of wild mustard aboveground biomass and N content of wild mustard on oilseed rape yield. A set of factorial treatments was arranged in a randomized complete block design with four replications. Treatments w...

Due to an increasing demand of leaf vegetables, and hence their economic importance in the tropics, it is very common that excessive fertilizer N rates are applied to vegetable gardens and fields to attain high yield. This calls for more information on their nutrient requirements. In this study, we designed experiments to explore the effect of organic N levels on the yield and agronomic N use e...

Adequate nutrition of sugar beet with magnesium (Mg) and sulfur (S) has been assumed to be the key increase fertiliser nitrogen (N) efficiency. This hypothesis was validated on two soils differing in textural class, i.e., sandy loamy. The experiment consisted three factors: (1) in-soil application Kieserite (0, 24 kg Mg/ha); (2) foliar Epsom salt (0.2 (3) N rates 40, 80, 120, 160 200 N/ha). fol...

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was grown in earthen pots containing soil of Balkasar Soil Series (Sandy Loam) in green house at the Department of Soil Science and SWC, Pir Mehr Ali Shah Arid Agriculture University, Rawalpindi during Rabi season, 2007. The Crop was treated with two levels of Phosphorus (40 and 80 kg P ha-1 ) in the form of SSP, TSP, NP and DAP. A basal doze of 100 kg N and 60 kg K...

This research aimed to determine the effects of different cover crops and application ofbio-fertilizer on dynamic of nitrogen in the soil and sweet maize yield. Also, we evaluated theeffect of fall–winter species (common vetch, field pea, winter oats, fodder kale) and a mixtureof vetch and field pea with oats used as cover crops, as such as dead organic mulch andtraditional variant, without cov...

a three-year field experiment was conducted under conditions of luvic chernozem soil. diversified nitrogen fertilization with 0, 60, 120, and 180 kg n ha-1, and microbial preparations improving soil properties were applied to potatoes, cv. ‘satina’, cultivation. n–no3 concentration in the soil profile (0–0.9 m) in autumn after potato harvesting fluctuated from 28 kg n ha-1 in the n0 treatment t...

in the water-limited areas, the great challenge of the agricultural sector is more production from less water that it can be achieved by increasing water productivity. a field study was conducted to compare various cultivars of wheat to water using line source sprinkler irrigation at gorgan research station in 2005-2006. the effect of variable water supply on yield and wue of six wheat cultivar...

in order to evaluate the effect of nitrogen (n) and seeding rate and presence of rapeseed residues on yield and yield components of wheat, a field experiment was conducted in cropping year 2011- 12 at college of agriculture, shiraz university (badjgah), shiraz, iran as split-split plot arranged in randomized complete blocks design with three replications. treatment included presence and absence...
