This study examines the agronomic response, efficiency and profitability of fertilizer microdosing in maize. An experiment with the following treatments was conducted: control without fertilizer, microdosing treatments, with the rate of 27 + 27, 53 + 53 and 80 + 80 kg ha, and banding of fertilizer with 100 + 100 kg ha of di ammonium phosphate (DAP) + urea, applied at planting and jointing, resp...

To enhance crop yields, nitrogen is one of essential basic nutritional elements that enable any plant to withstand in stressful conditions. An experiment was carried out investigate the impact N rates and its application timings on growth, development sugarcane yield at farm area Sugarcane Research Institute, Faisalabad, Pakistan for two consecutive seasons (spring 2014 2015). Four Nitrogen (N)...

Bed planted wheat systems offer a new alternative for the traditional wheat producer to provide opportunities for crop rotation, more efficient use of water, and new techniques of nutrient management. This study was conducted to determine if planting winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in Oklahoma on raised beds can maintain grain yields while providing more options in the cropping system. Expe...

The deficiency of nitrogen (N) in soil restricts agricultural productivity and its overdosage pollutes the atmosphere. Nitrogen is a vital component protein, chlorophyll various physiological processes. When it applied at recommended dose, may be lost through fixation, leaching, volatilization denitrification, etc. Therefore, there dire need to harmonize supply according crop requirements. Unde...

Limited water resources restrict winter wheat grain yield and quality in the Huang-Huai-Hai Plain of North China, and establishing optimal planting patterns according to crop water requirements is the key factor for achieving rational water use. In this paper, 4 planting patterns were applied, namely, uniform row (30 cm; traditional pattern), wide (40 cm)-narrow (20 cm) row, furrow (double line...

in order to investigate effect of deficit irrigation on phenological stages and yield of soybean cultivars, an experiment was conducted as split plots based on randomized complete block design with three replications at agricultural research farm, university of guilan in 2009. main factor was included four irrigation levels based on potential moisture 30-35 (i1), 50-55 (i2), 70-75 (i3) centibar...
