abstractin this study, the tensile force requirement, to separate the grain paddy was measured. the velocities of grain paddy it 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 mm/min, and force requirement to failure stem at 100, 300, and 500 mm/min velocities was measured by using instron device. the data was analyzed using a completely randomized design. the results showed that velocity had a significant effect...

Although the remobilization of vegetative nitrogen (N) and post-silking N both contribute to grain N in maize (Zea mays L.), their regulation by grain sink strength is poorly understood. Here we use 15N labeling to analyze the dynamic behaviors of both pre- and post-silking N in relation to source and sink manipulation in maize plants. The results showed that the remobilization of pre-silking N...

In the sub-tropics, water and nitrogen are the most important factors limiting the grain yield of maize. The effect of nitrogen (N) rates and drought stress at different growth stages of maize were investigated. Nitrogen treatments consisted of 100, 150, and 200  kgN.ha-1 from the urea source while water stress treatments were composed of irrigation-off since the early 10-leaf stage to emergenc...

to evaluate effected of supplemental irrigation and seed priming on yield and some quantity and quality characteristics of  vetch (vicia dasycarpa) rainfed maragheh cultivar, an experiment was carried out at the research farm of faculty agriculture of urmia university, west azarbaijan province, iran, during 2011. the experimental design was split-plot, laid out in randomized complete block with...

Excessive consumption of nitrogen (N) to enhance production, which may lead to environmental pollution. While sustainable production is threatened due to low soil fertility and organic matter. This study was carried out as a factorial experiment in the randomized complete block design and three replications at the research field of the University of Jiroft in 2018-2019. The present study invest...

An assessment of the nitrogen fertilization efficiency should not only include quantitativeand qualitative yield changes, but also an analysis of formation some indicators such as: Nharvest index (NHI), N use efficiency (NUE), N utilization efficiency (NUtE), N agronomicefficiency (NAE), N physiological efficiency (NPE) and N apparent recovery fraction (NRF).The objective of the study was the e...

Previous studies have shown that excess phosphorus (P) uptake by maize can lead to a decreased grain yield. Part one of this study demonstrated experienced luxury consumption P in three phases uptake. The objective work was further explore how indirectly impacts the other nutrients and their translocation within plant explain yield penalty associated with consumption. Three hybrids were grown u...
