This study aimed to investigate the effects of nitrogen fertilizer and a bioherbicide on Egyptian broomrape in a tomato research field at College of Agriculture, Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran in 2014. Treatments consisted of several levels of nitrate ammonium including 0, 100, 200 and 300 kg ha-1 and a biofertilizer as the first factor and how to use the bioherbicide including soak...

The productivity of a perennial lupin/cocksfoot mix was compared to that of lucerne in summer dry conditions at Lincoln University, Canterbury, New Zealand. The pastures were planted in December 2013 and rotationally grazed by ewe lambs in autumn 2014 (Year 1), and by ewe hoggets in spring-summer and ewe lambs in autumn of 2014/2015 (Year 2) and 2015/2016 (Year 3). For lupin/cocksfoot relative ...

in order to study the influence of municipal solid waste compost and nitrogen fertilizer on grain and forage yield of sweet corn an experiment was conducted at marvdasht during 2009. the experiment was arranged in split plots based on randomized complete block design with two factors and three replications. main plot included 5 levels of nitrogen fertilizer (100, 150, 200, 250, 300 kg n ha-1) a...

The efforts were made to study the impact of vermicomposted and composted farmyard manure (FYM) along with some combination of NPK fertilizers, on field crop of garlic (Allium stivum L.). A total of six experimental plots were prepared: T1 (recommended doze of NPK), T2 (vermicompost @ 15t/ha), T3 (20 t/ha vermicompost), T4 (15t/ha vermicompost + 50 % NPK), T5 (15t/ha farmyard manure), and T6 (f...

Intensive agriculture and increased N-fertilizer use have contributed to elevated emissions of the greenhouse gases, CO2, CH4, and N2O. In this study, the exchange of the greenhouse gases, CO2, N2O, and CH4, between a Quincy fine sand (mixed, mesic Xeric Torripsamments) soil and atmosphere was measured in a sweet corn (Zea mays L.) sweet corn potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) rotation during the 20...

in order to study the effects of different irrigation regimes and nitrogen fertilizer levels on yield and yield components of chickpea (ilc482), a field experiment involving chickpea genotype ilc482 was conducted as factorial arrangement based on a randomized complete block design with four replications in the agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad during growing season o...

To use of organic fertilizer sources for increasing crops production on sustainable basis has become imperative because the cost of chemical fertilizers is high. An experiment was conducted during 2006 on two saltaffected soils of District Charsadda to evaluate the effect of different levels of single super phosphate (SSP) alone and in combination with humic acid (HA) on phosphorus availability...
