Abstract This study sought to compare the efficiency of different nitrogen (N) fertilizer forms applied perennial ryegrass swards that were rotationally grazed by dairy cows or sheep under Irish conditions for two three years. A 3 × 2 factorial random complete block design plot arrangement was used calcium ammonium nitrate (CAN), urea and + N-(n-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide (urea NBPT) at 150...

Improving the efficiency of resource utilization has received increasing research attention in recent years. In this study, we explored the potential physiological mechanisms underlying improved grain yield and water-use efficiency of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) following organic fertilizer application. Two wheat cultivars, ChangHan58 (CH58) and XiNong9871 (XN9871), were grown under the...

abstract the addition of manures and chemical fertilizers as soil amendments for the improvement of soil fertility and quality could affect the seasonal changes in the activity of soil microbes and enzymes. this study aimed at investigating the effect of different levels of nitrogen from broiler litter and urea sources on the trend of urease, alkaline phosphatase and saccharase activities in a ...

Plant growth is directly dependent upon an adequate supply of fixed nitrogen. Water and fixed nitrogen are the most common limiting factors for plant growth.There is an abundance of nitrogen in the atmosphere, but it is in the form of the relatively inert gas, N2, and this must be converted chemically or biologically into a more active form before plants can utilize it. Chemical fixation most c...

Concerning Paddy cultivation, it is one of the major sectors livelihood in Sri Lanka, employing more than 1.8 million people. The Fertilizer subsidy scheme was initiated 1962 with invention High Yielding Varieties parallel to Green Revolution. There were three main components given under program Urea, Triple Super Phosphate (TSP), and Potassium Chloride (MOP). As other developing countries, fer...

Rice yield can be increased in many ways such as developing new high yielding varieties or adopting proper agronomic management to the existing varieties. Proper fertilization is an important management practice to increase rice yield. Proper fertilization can markedly increase the yield and improve the quality of rice [1]. Nitrogenous fertilizer has immense effect on rice yield throughout the ...

in order to investigate the effect of vermicompost (vc) application on amount of micro elements in soil and plant organs of the medicinal plant of borage (borago officinalis), an experiment was carried out in split plot based on complete randomized block design with three replications in the research farm of the sari university of agricultural science and natural resources. fertilizer treatment...

to evaluate the effects of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr) such as azotobacter chroococcum, azospirillum lipoferom and brasilence and pseudomonas fluorescens and nitrogen fertilizer from urea source on yield and yield components of maize (zea mays l.) double cross hybrids (dc 370), a field experiment was carried out in a factorial experiment (5*3) in rcbd with 4 replications. bacter...

in order to evaluate the effect of using zinc granulated phosphorous biofertilizer on yield and yield components of white bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.), a field experiment based on a randomized complete block design with three replications was performed. experimental treatment were included of using phosphate and triple super phosphorous chemical fertilizer at five levels (without using of chemi...

This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of four nitrogen treatments (50, 100, 150 and 200 Kg urea / ha) on biomass, crude protein, soluble carbohydrates and crude fiber contents in three fodders (corn, sweet sorghum and sweet sorghum bagasse) at the filed experimental station. The results showed the effects of nitrogen treatments and fodders on the above measurements were significant...
