The optimization of the mineral nutrition is the key to optimize the production of groundnut, as it has very high nutrient requirement and the recently released high yielding varieties take away still more nutrients from the soil. On contrary severe mineral nutrient deficiencies due to inadequate and imbalance use of nutrients is one of the major factors responsible for low yield in groundnut. ...

To investigate the effects of organic fertilizers and irrigation frequencies on yield and quality of cherry tomato an experiment was conducted using six fertilizer doses including control (no fertilizer), NPK fertilizer (urea at 300 kg, TSP 200 kg and MoP 250 kg), cow-dung at 5 t ha-1, cow-dung at 10 t ha-1, poultry manure at 5 t ha-1 and poultry manure at 10 t ha-1 with two levels of irrigatio...

in order to investigate the effects of different levels of nitrogen rate on yield and seed yield components of wheat cultivars, an experiment was conducted on araghi mahalleh (gorogan) research farm in 2008. treatments, nitrogen in the form of urea (0, 90, 180 and 270 kg/ha) and cultivars (tajan, falat and n81-18) were arranged as factorial based on randomized complete block design with four re...

energy method of evaluation is widely employed in analyzing problems associated with sustainable agriculture. in this study, energy ratio (er) of dryland wheat for three regions of eghlid township was quantified. the total cropping area of eghlid is nearly 8282 hectares comprised of: khosrowshirin (5000 ha), sedeh (1682 ha) and dezhkord (1600 ha). the corresponding values of wheat yield in thes...

this study was performed to assess the effects of nitrogen fertilizer and vermicompost on qualitative and quantitative yield of chamomile ( matricaria chamomilla l.). it was conducted at the research fields of ran company located in firouzkouh, iran, in 2013. treatments were consisted of 1) control, 2) 100% nitrogen from urea, 3) 100% nitrogen from ammonium nitrate, 4) 75% nitrogen from urea an...

This paper summarizes a series of field experiments that investigated the effects of organic and inorganic nutrients on sweet potato tuber yield in the humid lowlands of Papua New Guinea. In the first experiment, plots were planted with Piper aduncum, Gliricidia sepium and Imperata cylindrica, which were slashed after one year, whereafter sweet potato was planted. Sweet potato yield was lowest ...

in countries such as iran which will be faced water deficit as the main challenge in the future and the food production is going to be dependent to water recourses, wheat water-deficit tolerant and adapted genotypes release is one of the most important strategies under such a condition. in order to study the adaptation and terminal water deficit stress tolerance, fifteen bread wheat lines and c...
