increasing resource use efficiency is one of the important ways to enhance agricultural productions and reduce environmental hazards. for this purpose, improvement of n use efficiency is an effective approach. nitrogen losses not only occur in field but also in the processing course. the objective of this study was to calculate nitrogen losses and efficiency during production to consumption for...

improving the resource use efficiency in agro- ecosystems is an importantfactor for reducing environmental pollution. to evaluate phosphorus (p) efficiency andbalance indicators, research was conducted in wheat and saffron production systems inthe qaenat region (south khorasan province, iran) during 2011 and 2012, based on themethod of the organization for economic co-operation and development ...

cobalt (co) deficiency occurs in many parts of world especially in tropical and subtropical countries.primary co deficiency occurs only in places where the soil is deficient in co. the type of soil and the presence of other substances like manganese and lime influence the absorption of co (secondary co deficiency). to determine the co status in shahrekord district, iran, several important farms...

Waste with high biomass content generated in cities in developing countries is sent to landfills or open dumps. This research aims to degrade biomass content in urban waste through cultivation, at pilot scale, of the edible mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus. First, the number of diapers used by one baby per week was measured with a survey in day care facilities. Then, cellulose content of diapers wa...

Wheat is one of the major cereal crops with annual global production over 600 MT from about 200 M hectares (FAO 2012). The cultivation of wheat started about 10,000 years ago as part of the Neolithic revolution which state a transition from hunting and gathering of food to settle agriculture. Earlier cultivated forms of wheat were diploid (einkorn) and tetraploid (emmer) with known initial orig...

The paper focuses on conservation agriculture (CA), defined as minimal soil disturbance (no-till, NT) and permanent soil cover (mulch) combined with rotations, as a more sustainable cultivation system for the future. Cultivation and tillage play an important role in agriculture. The benefits of tillage in agriculture are explored before introducing conservation tillage (CT), a practice that was...

Functioning of plant-aphid-natural enemy interactions may be associated with the structure and composition of withinfield vegetation, neighborhood fields and field borders, and the regional plant community of cropped and noncropped areas. Farmand region-scale vegetation in the wheat-growing area of the North American Great Plains was hypothesized to effect the abundance of two hymenopteran para...
