Continuous use of chemical fertilizers has deteriorated the soil health and made the use of organic matter essential to restore the soil health and productivity. The availability of organic matter is again a problem because of the increase in area under crop cultivation. Thus recycling of the available organic wastes from the existing gardens especially in perennial crops gets more importance. ...

salinity tolerance is one of the most important affecting factors on agricultural production in arid and semi-arid areas. in order to study the effects of saline and fresh water irrigation with application of organic and npk fertilizers on cumin, a split plot experiment based on randomized complete block design was carried out with three replications during 2011 and 2012, at the research farm o...

The adoption of technologies has been the concern of developing countries. The assessment of adoption process provides valuable information to the researchers, extensionists and policy makers to identify reasons of low yield. The present study aimed to observe the adoption level of farmers for wheat production technologies. A questionnaire was designed to gather information especially about the...

in order to comparison the foliar application of biological, biostimulator and chemical fertilizers on growth characteristics and yield of saffron, a factorial experiment was conducted in a completely randomized block design with four replication in 3- year field of saffron in dargaz, khorasan razavi province from 2010 to 2011. the first factor had 5 levels included biostimulator fertilizer bio...

The present work evaluated the effect of soil (S) and foliage (F) applied potassium on growth, yield, quality potato plants. Potassium was added in at recommended rate for all treatments combining mineral fertilizers with K-feldspar biofertilizers, while foliar spraying included application citrate (PC), silicate (PS), monopotassium phosphate (MP). obtained results showed that plant height high...

determining the best mixture of sorghum and fenugreek intercropping defines the best forage quality in medicinal forage production. this project was conducted to evaluate the effect of biological, chemical and integrated fertilizing systems on forage quantity and quality in sorghum and fenugreek intercropping. the experimental treatments were arranged as split plots based on randomized block de...

Abstract Coffee is a plantation crop that has high economic value. One of the obstacles in cultivation coffee plants attack plant parasitic nematodes, including Pratylenchus coffeae, Radopholus similis , and Meloidogyne spp. The reported nematode control technologies are implementation organic fertilizers, botanical pesticides, biological agents. This study aimed to determine effect fertilizer,...
