A field experiment was conducted in 2007 and 2008 on a slightly acidic alfisol. Poultry manure (PM) was applied at 0, 5 t ha(-1), 10 t ha(-1), 15 t ha(-1), and 20 t ha(-1) in combination with SSP at 0, 15 kg P ha(-1), 30 kg P ha(-1), 45 kg P ha(-1), and 60 kg P ha(-1), which was replicated three times. The pH and organic C were significantly increased by the application of PM alone while availa...

in order to understand the effects of different organic and chemical fertilizer on stigma yield, corm characterstics and leaf dry matter yield (as a forage) of saffron (crocus sativus l.), an experiment was conducted in the research station of faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran, in 2005-2009; as a randomized complete block design with 12 treatments and three replicatio...

to study the effects of two irrigation regimes and application of barley residue, zeolite and superabsorbent polymer on forage yield and some physiological traits of maize and sorghum, an experiment was conducted over two years in kerman, iran. a randomized complete block design arranged in a factorial split was used with three replications. two irrigation regimes of normal irrigation and water...

A field experiment was conducted in two consecutive years to find out the efficacy of poultry refuse (PR), mustard oilcake (MOC), and Furadan 5G for the management of root-knot disease (Meloidogyne incognita) of tomato. Soil was treated with PR @ 3 and 5 t/ha, MOC @ 0.3 and 0.6 t/ha 3 weeks before transplanting and Furadan 5G @ 40 kg/ha on the day of transplanting of tomato seedlings. PR @ 3 t/...

The effect of aldicarb and fenamiphos on Tylenchulus semipenetrans population densities and on orange yield was investigated during a 3-year (1986-88) field trial in Italy. Rates were 10 and 20 kg a.i./ha as an early spring single application, 5 kg a.i./ha in spring and 5 kg after flowering, and 5 kg a.i. in spring followed by 2.5 kg/ha after flowering and 2.5 kg/ha in early autumn. Rates and t...

The yield responses of sugarcane to lime and gypsum at two sites in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands of South Africa are presented and discussed. At Dalton, on a Magwa form soil with an initial aluminium saturation index (ASI) of >80%, over a plant and four ratoon crops variety N12 gave no significant response to dolomitic lime. By contrast, variety N16 gave consistent yield responses to lime at rate...

RESUMEN Cabbage clubroot is a major constraint for the production of cruciferous species. This research aim at exploring the effect of Trichoderma koningiopsis (as the wettable powder formulated product Tricotec®) and dolomite on the disease and crop growth of cabbage. This study was carried out in a field with a prolonged history of clubroot incidence. The trial was set up in a randomized comp...

in order to improve the efficiency of irrigation systems and investigate their impact on the pest population levels, furrow and sprinkler irrigation systems were compared in sugar beet fields. in this study, three different fields were chosen and irrigated by one of the furrow, classic and center pivot irrigation systems.  in each field, 20 plots were randomly selected of which 10 plots were ma...

The flavor changing top quark decays t → cV (V = Z, γ, g) induced by R-parity-violating couplings in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) are evaluated. We find that the decays t → cV can be significantly enhanced relative to those in the R-parity conserving SUSY model. Our results show that the top quark FCNC decay can be as large as Br(t → cg) ∼ 10−3, Br(t → cZ) ∼ 10−4 and Br(t → ...
