in order to evaluate the effects of different levels of potassium and nitrogen on nitrogen use efficiency (nue) and yield of rapeseed (hyola 401), a field experiment was conducted at rice research institute of iran (rasht) in a factorial experiment based on a complete randomized block design with 3 replications for two years (2008-2010). the first factor was pure potassium fertilizer in three l...

Nitrogen availability is a major factor determining plant growth and productivity. Plants acquire nitrogen nutrients from the soil through their roots mostly in the form of ammonium and nitrate. Since these nutrients are scarce in natural soils, plants have evolved adaptive responses to cope with the environment. One of the most important responses is the regulation of nitrogen acquisition effi...

ABSTRACT: The use of nitrogen (N) in pastoral ecosystems leads to increased productivity, as it allows the plant elongate its leaves and, therefore, grazing herbivores harvest green leaves. However, there are very volatile N sources, which can be replaced by ammonium nitrate, is less and dependent on application rainy days. treatments compound Marandu palisade grass pastures managed under conti...

The nitrogen balance can serve as an indicator of the risk to the environment of nitrogen loss from agricultural land. To investigate the temporal and spatial changes in agricultural nitrogen application and its potential threat to the environment of the Haihe Basin in China, we used a database of county-level agricultural statistics to calculate agricultural nitrogen input, output, surplus int...

Due to an increasing demand of leaf vegetables, and hence their economic importance in the tropics, it is very common that excessive fertilizer N rates are applied to vegetable gardens and fields to attain high yield. This calls for more information on their nutrient requirements. In this study, we designed experiments to explore the effect of organic N levels on the yield and agronomic N use e...

The nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) is the ratio of N uptake by plant to total amount applied fertilizer. optimization NUE essential for sustainable agriculture, especially in breeding programs improve yield barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). We investigated variation 32 genotypes and examine response relationship between phenotypic traits level determine selection optimize NUE. was 2 yr under field co...
