In order to evaluation the effects of soil organic matter and biofertilizer on chickpea quality and biological nitrogen fixation, field experiments were carried out in 2007 and 2008 growing seasons. In this research the effects of different strategies for soil fertilization were investigated on grain yield and yield component, minerals, organic compounds and cooking time of chickpea. Experiment...

the main objective of this study was to determine the economical level of inputs applied in production of sugar beet by eglid region farmers. therefore data set was obtained from 55 farmers through interview and completing questionnaire. the farmers were selected based on a two-stage random sampling method.  marginal productivity of inputs was studied using cobb –douglasand transendental produc...

Biofertilizer is a relatively safer, environmentally friendly and cost-effective approach as an alternative to reduce chemical fertilizer usage. The selection of bacterial strains with multiple beneficial characteristics are important to maximize the effectiveness on the host plant. Due to aforementioned interest, several Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacterial (PGPR) and rhizobial strains were i...

to evaluate the effect of slow release fertilizer and humic acid on quality of new guinea impatiens (impatiens hawkeri), an experiment established in complete random design with 15 treatments and three replications. treatments were slow release fertilizer (12-11-18-2.7mgo-8s) in five levels (0, 1.5, 3, 4.5 and 6 kg/m3) and humic acid in three levels (0, 2 and 4 kg/m3) that mixed with medium cul...

in order to study the morphological characteristics affecting yield of echium amoenum under different nutritional treatments and different plant densities, a factorial experiment based on rcbd design with three replications was conducted at agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran in 2011-2013 growing seasons. the experimental treatments were all combination of three ...

Nitrogen (N) losses are prevalent under South East Asia’s due to high N fertilizer inputs, but low use efficiency. This leaves a large quantity of reactive at risk loss the environment. Biochar has been found reduce across variety soil types, however, there is limited data available for semi-arid climates, particularly field-scale. Herein we present an exploration biological and chemical enhanc...
