in order to study the effects of organic and inorganic nitrogen sources on quantitative and qualitative characteristics of three winter rapeseed cultivars, a field experiment was carried out as factorial arrangement in complete block design with three replications in agricultural and natural resources research center of markazi province, arak, during 2008-2009 growing season. three rapeseed cul...

Intensively managed forest plantations often require fertilization to maintain site fertility and improve growth yield over successive rotations. We applied urea-based “enhanced-efficiency fertilizers” (EEF) containing 0.5 atom% 15N at a rate of 224 kg N ha−1 soils under mid-rotation black walnut (Juglans nigra L.) track the fate within aboveground ecosystem components during 12-month period af...

Bio-fertilizers are naturally occurring soil bacteria that aggressively colonize plant roots and benefit plants by providing growth promotion. This investigation was aimed at determining the effect of Nitroxin bio-fertilizer application on growth, inoculation and yield production of corn hybrids. An experiment was conducted as split plot on the basis of randomized complete block design with fou...

Soil health and sustainable management practices have garnered much interest within the turfgrass industry. Among many that enhance soil sustainability are applying additives to biological activity reducing nitrogen (N) inputs—complimentary practices. A two-year study was conducted investigate if reduced N fertilizer rates applied with humic substances could provide comparable quality as full r...

In order to investigate the effect of sugarcane compost on consumption of nitrogenous fertilizers in corn fields, a research project was conducted according split plot experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications along 2015 year. The main plot included different chemical nitrogenous fertilizer (Zero; control, 60 and 120 kg.ha-1 pure nitrogen from urea ...

This research set out to evaluate the effect of combined biological and chemical nitrogen fertilizers on some corn hybrids. To this end an experiment was conducted as split plot on the basis of randomized complete block design with four replications. Main plots were included: use of chemical and biological fertilizers in four levels: 100% chemical fertilizer, 75% chemical fertilizer + 100% bio-...

management of soil fertility via biological fertilizers inoculation is one of the most important components based on sustainable agriculture. in order to investigate the effects of biological and chemical fertilizers on yield and some morphological traits of forage yield sorghum, a field experiment was conducted as factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replications at a...

This study was conducted to determine the efficacy of using enhanced efficiency fertilizer (EEFs) products compared to urea to improve fertilizer nitrogen use efficiency (FNUE) in forest plantations. All fertilizer treatments were labeled with 15N (0.5 atom percent) and applied to 100 m2 circular plots at 12 loblolly pine stands (Pinus taeda L.) across the southeastern United States. Total fert...
