In order to investigate the effect of urea, Azocompost and cutting on growth characteristics of Oregano, a factorial split-plot experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with three replications at Yazd and Mashhad, Iran, during 2012-2013 growing season. Four urea levels and four Azocompost levels (to provide 0, 40, 80 and 120 kg N.ha-1 each) for Yazd location )0, 43.5, ...

Long-term water quality records for assessing natural variability, impact of management, and that guide regulatory processes to safeguard water resources are rare for California oak woodland rangelands. This study presents a 20-yr record (1981-2000) of nitrate-nitrogen (NO(3)-N) and suspended sediment export from a typical, grazed oak woodland watershed (103 ha) in the northern Sierra Nevada fo...

in order to study the effect of planting pattern and herbicide application on corn (zea mays l.) grain yield and weeds control, an experiment was carried out in 2007 at varamin research station of plant protection research institute. the experimental design was a randomized complete block in a split plot arrangement with 4 replications. experimental factors consisted of planting patterns at 4 l...

The growth and yield of Egusi melon in response to application of an Organo-mineral fertilizer was investigated. The Organo-mineral fertilizer was Cow-dung generated from an Abattoir fortified with inorganic Nitrogen. The fertilizer had a pH of 6.1; 61.2 g kg Organic Matter; 35.5 g kg -1 -1 Organic Carbon; 3.6g kg Nitrogen; 372.54 mg kg Available Phosphorus and 14.8cmol kg -1 -1 -1 Exchangeable...

Short growing season restricts production of standard-sized fruit trees in nurseries at cold regions. Enhancing plant growth by optimizing program of mineral nutrition may solve the problem. This study evaluated efficiency of fertilizers [urea, sulfur coated urea (SCU), or foliar applications of a NPK compound fertilizer] for optimizing the growth of seedling rootstocks and grafted young almond...

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of sulphur application on growth, yield and quality of onion at Horticulture Farm of Institute of Agriculture, Visva-Bharati, Sriniketan. The treatments consisted of six incremental doses of sulphur application (10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 kg ha-1) and no sulphur application (control, 0 kg S ha-1). Treatments were arranged in Randomized Block Design...

In sorghum and mungbean – lentil cropping system, field experiments were conducted for three successive years to assess the effect of mung bean residue incorporation on sorghum and succeeding lentil productivity along with different doses of phosphorus (P; 0, 30, 60 kg ha−1) applied to these crops. The level of soil fertility was also tested with or without incorporation of mung bean residue. T...
