the effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on nitrogen concentration of berseem clover were examined in contaminated soil with cadmium. examined factors included: levels of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi inoculation ( glomus mosseae ) (with and without inoculation), and different levels of soil contamination by cadmium (0, 5, 10, 20, 40 and 80 mg.kg-1). the results showed that the effects of cad...

biofertilizer is a substance which contains living microorganisms which can use instead of chemical fertilizer in sustainable crop production. the effects of phosphate solubilizing bacteria; root endophytic fungi (ef) piriformospora indica, and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (amf) glomus mosseae on growth and nutrient uptake of sunflower plants grown in mixture with two clover species, persian c...

Four Rhizobium strains were isolated from berseem clover in Egypt. The symbiotically effective, salt-tolerant, strain Rhiz950 was identified as new species, Rhizobium aegypticaum sv. trifolii (USDA 7124(T)). The other three thermal- and pH-tolerant strains were identified as Rhizobium bangladeshense sv. trifolii, the type strain is USDA 7125(T).

in order to study the effect of strip intercropping of maize (zea mays l.) and bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.) on the dry matter yield and land equivalent ratio (ler) in weedy and weed free treatments, an experiment was conducted at the agricultural station of college of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran. treatments were strip width of 2, 3, 4 and 5 rows and sole cropping of each c...

introduction weeds are main factors reducing crops yield, especially under organic farming conditions (). it has been reported that weed populations are more in organic farming compared to conventional cropping systems, resulting in more reduction of growth and yield. although the chemical control is a fast and effective way for controlling weed populations, some negative impacts of the recent ...

in order to study the weeds frequency and dry matter in corn and cowpea sole cropping and intercropping systems, an experiment using replacement and additive techniques was conducted using different combination of intercropping in seven levels with ratio of 1:1 (50% corn + 50% cowpea), 1:2 (33% + 67%), 2:1 (67% + 33%), (100% + 20%), (100% + 10%), 100% corn and 100% cowpea, two levels optimal an...

The problems with herbicide- and tillage-based weed management in agriculture are well documented have precipitated research into finding alternatives. Integrating livestock grazing organic agroecosystems has benefits is a viable method for terminating cover crops, yet its impacts on communities largely unknown. This lack of knowledge particularly true semi-arid environments, including the Nort...

The study evaluated replacement of Egyptian berseem clover (BC, Trifolium alexandrinum) with spent rice straw (SRS) of Pleurotus ostreatus basidiomycete in diets of lactating Baladi goats. Nine lactating homo-parity Baladi goats (average BW 23.8±0.4 kg) at 7 d postpartum were used in a triplicate 3×3 Latin square design with 30 d experimental periods. Goats were fed a basal diet containing 0 (C...

in order to evalutate the efficieny of green and farmyard manure and biofertilizers either separated or integrated on nitrogen dynamics in soil, leaves and grains in corn (zea mays l.), an experiment was conducted at 2009 cropping season. experiment was arranged in split split plot based on randomized complete block design with three replicates. main plots were three levels of green manure (con...
