Flours from African breadfruit, corn and defatted soybean were thoroughly mixed in a Hobart_-mixer at three variable, with the following combinations 40:5:55, 55:5:40, 70:5:25, 85:5:10 and 100:0:0% for African breadfruit, corn and soybean, respectively. These combinations were hydrated to moisture contents of 15, 18, 21, 24, and 27% and extruded at screw speed of 100, 120, 140, 160 and ISOrpm i...

in order to study the effect of nitrogen on competition between wild oat (avena fatua) and wheat (triticum aestivum) at vegetative growth stage, a factorial experiment was conducted based on completely randomized block design with three replications in research greenhouse of faculty of agriculture, at ferdowsi university of mashhad in 2008. first factor was five densities (0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 plan...

BACKGROUND: Bio-fertilizers being essential components of organic farming play vital role in maintaining long term soil fertility and sustainability.OBJECTIVES: Study yield and growth indices of sorghum in response to consume chemical fertilizer and Nitroxin bio-fertilizer.METHODS: This research was conducted via split plot experime...

in order to study the effects of nitrogen and drought stress on yield, yield components and seed quality of corn (hybrid single cross 704) a field experiment was conducted at agricultural research station in islamabad gharb in 2009. experiment design was split plots based on randomized complete block design with three replications. main plots included full irrigation requirement, 80 percent and...

Glasswort(Salicornia europaea L.) as an important halophyte plant is capable to accumulate NaCl in aboveground part (fully edible) in considerable quantity. To evaluate the effect of irrigation levels and nitrogen fertilizer on the yield of seed and oil, and also harvest index of Glasswort, a split plot experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with three replications a...

in order to study on effect of plant density and nitrogen on yield and yield components of visia faba (faba bean), the experimental design was implemented by randomized complete block with three replications at 2010- 2011 in lahijan. the experimental factors were three plant density (25×25 cm, 35×35 cm and 45×45 cm) and four nitrogen fertilizer (0, 20, 40, 60 kg ha-1). in this experiment, featu...

one of the main problems in crop production in iran is the difference between actual yield and attainable yield which is called yield gap. thus, identifying yield constraints and yield gap are important. to do this, a study was conducted in 95 farms gorgan of in five villages, during two years 2007 and 2008. in this study, all of the information about management operations, soil and crop charac...

background and objectives: soybean is one of the plants that need large amounts of nitrogen for grain yield production. todays bio-fertilizers are considered as a best replacement for chemical nitrogen to increase soil fertility and sustained agricultural production. meanwhile, the use of soybean symbiotic bacteria and nitroxin, which contain the most effective nitrogen-fixing bacteria of the g...

in order to investigate the effects of soil chemical characteristics on weed species diversity in eastern mashhad region wheat (triticum aestivum l.) fields, an investigation was held in the year 2009. wheat fields were classified based on the acreage from 3-5, 5-10 and higher than 10 ha. five random soil samples were taken using a 5 cm diameter auger from the soil of each experimental field an...
