to evaluate the effect of nitrogen fertilizer amounts on grain yield of forage corn in 2012, a pilot was implemented in islamic azad university agricultural research station, isfahan, as a split plot in a randomized complete block design. main plots consisted of four levels: control (no fertilization ) , 50 , 100 and 150 kg per ha nitrogen from urea source and subplots , including several varie...

maize genotypes were screened for host resistance and seed treatment chemicals were evaluated in field to manage fusarium ear rot complex of maize at high- and mid-hill environments in nepal during 2003 and 2004. seven popular maize genotypes along with a susceptible check were used in the host resistance study. the maize genotypes adopted from exotic sources, manakamana-3 and deuti, performed ...

As one of two sexual products resulting from double fertilization in angiosperms, the endosperm nourishes its compatriot embryo during seed development and/or germination and ultimately dies. Theoretical studies suggest that the genetic relatedness of an endosperm to its embryo in the same seed might determine the amount of resources ultimately available for the embryo during seed development. ...

The application of PGPB to agriculture is increasing as it offers an alternative to the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and other supplements. Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the world’s principal cereal crops, grown for grain, silage and biofuel. Nitrogen fertilizer constitutes one of the major costs in maize production, and PGPB poses a potential alternative for achieving more sustainab...

In order to identify miscellaneous seed from maize seed accurately and rapidly, maize seed purity identification method based on color extracted from the images of both the maize crown and the maize side was proposed for improving maize seed purity. Firstly, segmentation and single extraction were carried on the original image; secondly, the color models RGB and HSV were used to extract multidi...

A study was conducted at Bunda College during the 2003/04 crop season to assess the effect of fertilizer application practices on performance of maize with emphasis on improving the efficiency of using urea as a top dressing fertilizer The treatments were laid out as a split-plot in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with maize varieties as main plots and fertilizer application practices...

plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr) has been identified as an alternative to chemical fertilizer to increase soil fertility and crop production in sustainable agriculture. the objective of this study was to investigate the effects of single and co-inoculation of azospirillum and pseudomonas strains on plant growth and nutrient uptake of maize as a factorial experiment. treatments includ...

Fertilizer management is essential for achieving sustainable agriculture and protecting the environment. To evaluate the effect of Nitroxin bio-fertilizer application on quantitative and qualitative traits of corn hybrids a farm research was arranged via split plot experiment based on the randomized complete block design with four replications in 2013. Main plots were Included: use of the chemi...
