Two cultivars each of four warm-season grass species under three N fertilizer treatments and three harvesting regimes were studied to determine the effect of nitrogen fertilizer and harvest date on forage yield. Research was conducted in eastern Nebraska on an alluvial soil. The eight grasses studied were 'Blaze' and 'PM-K-129' little bluestem [Schizachyrium scoparium (Michx.) Nash], 'Cave-in-R...

in order to study the competition effects of redroot pigweed (amaranthus retroflexus) and millet (panicum miliaceum) on maize performance under different rates of n fertilizer, a field experiment was conducted in 2009 in the research fields of tarbiat modares university in tehran as a randomized complete block design with factorial arrangement of treatments and three replications. accordingly, ...

urea is the most common form of nitrogen fertilizer used in sugar beet cultivation. urea has a high solubility and its losses are high and consequently its efficiency is low. it is supposed that urea solubility can be limited and its efficiency can be increased by using slow-release nitrogen fertilizers. by conducting an experiment in three important sugar beet cultivation areas of khorasan pro...

Nitrogen utilization by corn (Zea mays L.) is influenced by the form of inorganic N present in the root zone. A field experiment was conducted on Enon sandy loam (fine, mixed, thermic Ultic Hapludalf) to determine N use efficiency and its partitioning in various plant parts of corn. Ammonium nitrate labeled either as NH4-N or NO3-N and applied at 50, 100, or 200 kg N ha" was evaluated. Microplo...

safflower (carthamus tinctorius l.) is one of the oilseed crops adaption on a wide range circumstance of iran edaphic, which deficiency of micronutrients cause in its quality and quantity yield. to assign the effect of amount and utility period of micronutrients fertilizer on grain yield, yield components and characters of oil quality of safflower var mexi141 an experiment by factorial base ran...

Commonly N release from legume residues is rapid in the tropics. Legume mixtures with grasses can result in slower nutrient release from residues, better matching the N requirements of the following crop. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects of the green manures sunnhemp (Crotalaria juncea) and millet (Pennisetum glaucum), alone or mixed, on the performance of a subsequent ...

This study was conducted at the Agricultural Research Station, King Abdulaziz University at Hada El-Sham during 2007 and 2008 seasons to improve the seed yield of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) in the Makkah Region, Saudi Arabia. Split plot design with four replications was used in this study. Main plot treatments were four nitrogen rates (0, 100, 150 and 200 kg N/ha) and the sub plot treatments w...
