a field study was conducted in qaen region using complete randomized blocks with three replications to study the effect of organic manure, zinc and boron on yield and yield components of millet and grain chemical composition. the treatments included factorial arrangement of municipal solid waste compost and cow manure (each at 25 ton ha-1), zn (0, 50 kg ha-1) and b (0, 10 kg ha-1) by using thei...

long term use of fallow in wheat-based cropping system of dry and semi-dry lands can increase erosion and decrease soil fertility. legumes as substituting crops for fallow could improve sustainability in this area. this study was conducted to evaluate the substituting of some legumes for fallow in a 2-yr wheat rotation at research stations in north khorasan province (natural resources research ...

INTRODUCTION The development of viable bio-based energy systems offers many potential benefits relative to energy availability, national security, a cleaner environment, and associated economic rewards (DOE 2000). Largescale bioenergy use will require the deployment of environmentally acceptable energy crops and cropping systems for producing large quantities of low-cost, high-quality biomass f...

the main objective of this study was to determine the influence of vermicompost and biostimulant on the growth and biomass in the coriander plant height, wet weight of plant ,dry weight of plant and biomass yield. the experiment was carried out as factorial experiment in the base of randomized complete blocks design with eight treatments and three replications at research field of agriculture c...

Management of nitrogen fertilization in crops is one of the most important components of integrated weed management. A two-year field experiment was conducted to determine the direct effects of wild mustard aboveground biomass and N content of wild mustard on oilseed rape yield. A set of factorial treatments was arranged in a randomized complete block design with four replications. Treatments w...

in order to study the effect of vermicompost and nitrogen fixing bacteria on seed yield, yield components of seed and essential oil content of coriander (coriandrum sativum), an experiment was conducted as factorial experiment in the base of randomized complete blocks design with eight treatments and three replications at research field of agriculture company of ran in firouzkuh of iran in 2012...

The cost of harvesting is one of the constraints in improving biofuel economics. Adjusting the ground speed of harvesting machines to maximize their throughput rate in relation to yield level is one of the ways to reduce harvesting cost. To control the ground speed of a baler, a real-time sensor that can predict the swathed-biomass yield in front of the baler would be an invaluable tool. It was...

We report a case study of natural variations and correlations of some photosynthetic parameters, green biomass and grain yield in Cappelle Desprez and Plainsman V winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars, which are classified as being drought sensitive and tolerant, respectively. We monitored biomass accumulation from secondary leaves in the vegetative phase and grain yield from flag leave...

In the present study Kluyveromyces marxianus isolated from paneer whey was employed for biomass production. Various parameters like pH, temperature and nitrogen source were optimized for maximum biomass yield. The biomass yield was studied to vary with different nitrogen sources, pH and temperature. Ammonium sulphate, ammonium nitrate, beef extract and yeast extract were used as nitrogen source...
