background and objectives: soybean is one of the plants that need large amounts of nitrogen for grain yield production. todays bio-fertilizers are considered as a best replacement for chemical nitrogen to increase soil fertility and sustained agricultural production. meanwhile, the use of soybean symbiotic bacteria and nitroxin, which contain the most effective nitrogen-fixing bacteria of the g...

EXTENDED ABSTRACT The method of new NKSMg fertilizer based on utilization of feather waste from slaughterhouses was presented. The method allows the production of liquid fertilizers which can be used in soil and foliar application. The whole process is based on the digestion of feather waste by acid hydrolysis, adjusting pH of the reaction medium, and then enriched in selected nutrients. Pot ex...

Optimal nitrogen (N) management is critical for efficient crop production and agricultural pollution control. Approximate 210–220 kg ha ?1 N fertilizer was applied in millions of small plots through broadcasting way China, resulting over loss fertilizers. However, it difficult to implement advanced practices on smallholder farms due a lack knowledge. Here, using 35,502 on-farm fertilization exp...

Efficient nitrogen (N) fertilizer applications in onion (Allium cepa L.) can reduce input costs and improve fertilizer-use efficiency, while maintaining high yields quality. Understanding the N requirements of at different growth stages is necessary to enhance N-use efficiency (FNUE). In a two-year study (2021 2022), FNUE onions was determined five development (at transplant, vegetative growth,...

The effect of nitrogen (N) fertilizer on switchgrass biomass production has been evaluated in a number of locations on a small-plot scale; however, field-scale information regarding switchgrass response to N and N use efficiency (NUE) in different regions of the USA is limited. Switchgrass was planted in South Dakota (SD), New York (NY), Oklahoma (OK), and Virginia (VA) in 2008 and in Iowa (IA)...

The Chaobai watershed in northern China is the most important source of drinking water for Beijing. The level of fertilizer use, especially overuse, as well as farming practices in the region have a great impact on the water quality downstream and affect an enormous number of people. This study analyzes the factors influencing the farmers’ decisions on fertilizer use and the implications for wa...

years. Fertilizing once in the spring with a complete fertilizer with Uramite as the nitrogen source was satisfactory. On Lakeland soil Valencia and Hamlin orange tree growth was very good when about 1, 2, and 4 pounds of 8-2-8 inorganic fertilizer was applied in the first, second, and third seasons, respectively. Timing of applications of fertilizer also was not critical for young Valencia or ...

in order to study the effect of irrigation and nitrogen fertilizer levels on yield of basil, an experiment was conducted as split plot based on randomized complete block design with three replications in birjand (moud region) in 2010. main plot factor was two irrigation levels (7 and 14 days interval) and nitrogen fertilizer (as urea) was considered as sub plot factor in four levels (0, 50, 100...

in order to evaluate different sources and rates of nitrogen on dry matter yield, concentration and uptake of primary macronutrients (nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium) in forage sorghum (hybrid of speedfeed), three levels of nitrogen (80, 160 and 240 kg n ha-1) from three n sources (urea fertilizer, cattle manure and equal combination of urea fertilizer + cattle manure) and the control (no f...

There have been several recent developments in slow-release fertilizers. These materials supply nutrients continuously over an extended period in contrast to water soluble fertilizers which are immediately available after incorporation in moist soil. Slow-release fertilizers are not subject to rapid leaching loss and do not easily burn plants from over-application. The major need for slow relea...
