Organic fertilizers are generally thought to be an effective way to sustain soil fertility and plant growth. To promote the productivity of chrysanthemum, five sources of liquid organic fertilizers (L1–L5), as well as a chemical fertilizer, were applied at an early stage of the growth cycle to investigate their effects on plant growth. In the short-term pot experiment, the liquid organic fertil...

Rapid growth in organic production in the past 20 years is due to consumer concerns about the impacts of conventional agriculture on the environment, food safety, and quality. There are considerable variations in nutrient concentration and the rate of mineralization among organic fertilizers. Some organic fertilizers and application rates are specific to soil types, which affect the nutrient po...

The main objective of this study was to compare the performance of two liquid organic fertilizers, an animal and a plant-based fertilizer, with mineral fertilization on citrus trees. The source of the fertilizer (mineral or organic) had significant effect in the nutritional status of the organic and conventionally managed mandarins. Nutrient uptake, vegetative growth, carbohydrate synthesis and...

This study assesses the effect of long-term (59 years) application of organic and inorganic fertilizers on soil organic matter and enzyme activity. Total organic C, total organic N, hot water soluble C, microbial biomass C and dehydrogenase activity were evaluated in soil from the long-term field experiment in Prague-Ruzyně (Orthic Luvisol, clay loam). Total organic C and N increased significan...

The influence of organic amendments and inorganic fertilizers on cabbage head was investigated to determine their effect on storage behavior and organoleptic quality. Field cabbage was raised by combining fourteen different treatments comprising of organic amendments and inorganic fertilizers at different levels. The result showed that nutrient schedule of the crop significantly influenced the ...

To address the effect of organic fertilizers on rice insect pests and diseases, an experiment was carried out in Cuulong Delta Rice Research Institute (CLRRI) based on the randomized complete block design with three replications. The treatments were including a combination of four animal manure compost levels (2.5, 5.0, 7.5, 10.0 tons/ha) and four organic fertilizer levels (2.5, 5.0, 7.5, 10.0 ...

understanding of relations and interactions between ecosystem’s components and plants is one of the main conditions for sustainable production of medicinal plants. to study the effect of simultaneous application of organic and biological fertilizers on yield and yield components of zucchini squash, a split plot arrangement of factors based on randomized complete block design with tree replicati...

abstract cumin is one the most important medicinal plant in iran. a field experiment was conducted in order to evaluate the effect of compost (30t/ha), vermicompost (10t/ha), cow manure (30t/ha) and sheep manure (20t/ha) and control (no fertilizer) on yield and yield components of cumin. the experiment was performed in the research farm of faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad ...
