Tracking information about fertilizers consumption in the world is very important since they are used to produce agriculture commodities. Brazil consumes a large amount of fertilizers due to its large-scale agriculture fields. Most of these fertilizers are currently imported. The analysis of consumption of major fertilizers, such as Nitrogen-Phosphorus-Potassium (NPK), Sulfur, Phosphate Rock, P...

The present investigation deals with the role of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria and chemical fertilizers alone or in combination on urease, invertase and phosphatase activities of rhizospheric soil and also on general impact on growth of safflower cvv. Thori and Saif-32. The PGPR (Azospirillum brasilense and Azotobacter vinelandii) were applied at 10cells/mL as seed inoculation prior to s...

abstract tuberose is one of the most important cut flowers in iran and the world. in this experiment, effect of microelements fe, zn, cu and mn on inflorescence length, inflorescence bunch length, number and diameter of floret, diameter of inflorescence bunch and vase life of tuberose flowers were studied. this study was based on four separate completely randomized experimental design with four...

A field experiment was conducted to assess the effect of farmyard (cattle) manure (FYM) and inorganic nitrogen (N) phosphorus (P) fertilizers on growth and tuber yield of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.). The treatments consisted of factorial combination of 4 levels of FYM (0. 10, 20 and 30 t h-1) and three levels of inorganic NP fertilizers (0, 33.3%, 66.6% recommended rates) laid out in a Random...

This Bulletin discusses several manufacturing processes for organic compound fertilizers overseas and in Taiwan. The different formulations of N-P2O5-K2O in the fertilizers are also reported. The yield response of different crops from the application of organic compound fertilizer reflects their superiority over organic fertilizers. Experiments also showed that the use of organic compound ferti...

ome organic fertilizers are suitable for greenhouse crops and can also fit the current ways of applying fertilizers commercially. However, not much information is available on plant response, nutrient supplying power, or the environmental impact of nutrient leaching with organic fertilizers. Not surprisingly, because of their differences in the makeup, levels of success in growing acceptable gr...

Agrochemical is evolved by the contraction and combination of words agricultural and chemical, and is a generic term used for the various chemical products typically used in agriculture. Agrochemicals essentially help in intensifying crop production and to reduce the effects of pests and parasites on farm animals. Agrochemical basically refers to the broad range of pesticides and fertilizers. A...

Synthetic (e.g. urea) and organic fertilizers (e.g. compost) differed markedly in N isotope composition and the greater the difference between organic and synthetic fertilizer the more robust will be the differentiation of crops and vegetable grown under different farming systems. The objective of this study was to compare nitrogen and carbon isotope composition of organic fertilizers and manur...

The results of the study of the impact of phosphogypsum on the accumulation and migration of fluorine in the southern chernozems of the North-West Black Sea coast area of Ukraine are presented herein. It has been found that the introduction of phosphogypsum as a chemical ameliorator of irrigated chernozems resulted in a fluorine increase both in the soils and in the soil (lysimetric) waters.1 D...

Large amounts of uranium, radium and radium products are redistributed throughout the environment owing to the use of phosphate fertilizers. Potential radiological impacts resulting from direct exposure, inhalation and ingestion of foods grown with fertilizers are discussed. This paper describes a simple method to measure exhalation rate of 222RN from phosphate fertilizers, clay and potatoes in...
