in order to study the effect of fertilizing treatments and limited irrigation regimes on yield and yield components of isabgol, a field experiment was conducted at experimental farm of college of agronomy and animal sciences, university of tehran. the experimental design was a split plot based on a randomized complete block design with three replications. in this research four irrigation regime...

in order to investigate the possibility of using organic fertilizers in tobacco floating nursery, an experiment was conducted at tobacco research institute of urmia in 2010. the experiment was done as factorial trail based on randomized complete block design (crbd) with four replications. the levels of first factor were disinfected poultry manure, disinfected pigeon manure, a complete fertilize...

production is hard to achieve by increasing cropping area due to limited water resources. so, increased yield per unit area may be the solution to increase production. investigating productivity of production factors is very important in this context. the objective of this study is to measure the productivity of production factors in sugar beet production in fars province. the data needed for t...

The hypothesis that plants supplied with organic fertilizers are better defended against insect herbivores than those supplied with synthetic fertilizers was tested over two field seasons. Organic and synthetic fertilizer treatments at two nitrogen concentrations were supplied to Brassica plants, and their effects on the abundance of herbivore species and plant chemistry were assessed. The orga...

Soybean (Glycine max L.) seed is a major source of protein, oil, carbohydrates and other nutrients that are important for human and animal nutrition. Producers have considered applying nitrogen (N) fertilizer to soybean crop to maximize seed yield; however, its effect on seed composition is not well understood. The objective of this two-year (2015 and 2016) study was to evaluate the effects of ...

Atmospheric nitrous oxide concentrations have been increasing since the industrial revolution and currently account for 6% of total anthropogenic radiative forcing. Microbial production in soils is the dominant nitrous oxide source; this has increased with increasing use of nitrogen fertilizers. However, fertilizer use alone cannot account for the historical trends of atmospheric concentrations...

Accidental and intended Ricinus communis intoxications in humans and animals have been known for centuries but the causative agent remained elusive until 1888 when Stillmark attributed the toxicity to the lectin ricin. Ricinus communis is grown worldwide on an industrial scale for the production of castor oil. As by-product in castor oil production ricin is mass produced above 1 million tons pe...
