Fertilizer efficiency directly affects the production of continuous cropping greenhouse cucumber. So analyzing the fertilizer efficiency is of great significance in providing decision-making support for fertilization of greenhouse cucumber. By establishing the DEA models of continuous cropping greenhouse cucumber and taking existing data samples as study objects, the problems of fertilizer effi...

soil or water salinity is one of the major problems of agriculture in the arid and semiarid regions of the world, especially in iran. beside the salinity, reasonable canola production depends on nutrient supply so that increase in quantitative and qualitative yield is highly correlated with nutrients availability, especially nitrogen and zinc. in order to investigate the effects of the nitrogen...

The main goal of this study was to identify the treatment that increases the populations of spiders, which are effective predators in agroecosystems. In 2013 and 2014 the experimental eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) field was two different treatments, organic fertilizers and chemical fertilizer treatment, and in 2014 we surrounded organic fertilizer plots with the flowering plants mealy cup sag...

The main purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effect of crude oil price on global fertilizer prices in both the mean and volatility. The endogenous structural breakpoint unit root test, the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model, and alternative volatility models, including the generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH) model, Exponential GARCH (EGARCH) model, an...

The purpose of this study is to investigate the interactions between irrigation and fertilizer treatments on soil NO3 (-)-N content and vertical distribution under drip fertigation in greenhouse tomatoes. Randomized block design with three replications and the treatments consisting of three levels of irrigation and three levels of N fertilizer were used. Three irrigation levels were W1 (100%  E...

Animal manure is commonly used as fertilizer for agricultural crops worldwide, even though it is believed to contribute to the spread of antibiotic resistance from animal intestines to the soil environment. However, it is unclear whether and how there is any impact of manure fertilization on populations and community structure of antibiotic-resistant endophytic bacteria (AREB) in plant tissues....

Black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae (BSFL) production is increasing, which will leaves substantial amounts of leftover excrement, called ‘frass’ that may be a beneficial organic fertilizer. In this study, sweetpotato (SP) (Ipomoea batatas) cuttings (‘slips’), were grown with BSFL frass as one-time top dressing at either 333.7g/m2 or 667.4g/m2, respectively, daily applications tea (225g...
