The purpose in this research was to study the effects of Vermicompost and poultry manure on yield and yield components of the medicinal plant coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) in the Shahr-e- Ghods region. A factorial experiment using the randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted in the Islamic Azad University of Shahr-e- Ghods. The first factor was three levels of ...

This study aimed to monitor the process parameters and to determine kinetics in composting of organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) and poultry manure. The experiments were carried out with three different mixtures. The results showed that the mixture 60% OFMSW, 20% poultry manure, 10% mature compost and 10% sawdust provided the most appropriate conditions for composting process. Us...

New waste management methods are needed that can protect the environment and allow manure management to switch back to a recycling view of manure handling. We investigated the use of gas-permeable membranes as components of new processes to capture and recover the ammonia in the liquid manures or in the air of poultry houses and other livestock installations. The basic process includes the pass...

BACKGROUND: The ability of a plant to resist or tolerate pests is grounded partially in favorable physical, chemical and biological properties of soil. OBJECTIVES: Investigate the influence of nutrient sources on Podagrica uniforma and Nisota dilecta infestation, population dynamics and performances of okra. METHODS: </stro...

in order to study the effect of different types and rates of animal manure and spent mushroom compost on controlling egyptian broomrape (orobanche aegyptiaca perss.) in tomato (mill. lycopersicon esculentum), two studies were conducted on randomized complete block design with three replications at research green house, college of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad and nemooneh field of...

Many states have passed legislation that regulates agricultural P applications based on soil P levels and crop P uptake in an attempt to protect surface waters from nonpoint P inputs. Phytase enzyme and high available phosphorus (HAP) corn supplements to poultry feed are considered potential remedies to this problem because they can reduce total P concentrations in manure. However, less is know...

The main effects and interactions of four different mineral N levels (0, 50, 100 and 150kg fed -1 ) and four various poultry manure rates (0, 10, 15 and 20m 3 fed -1 ) on the vegetative growth, flowering, volatile oil content and chemical composition of marigold plants (Tagetes minuta) were investigated through two field experiments in 2000/2001 and 2001/2002. The obtained results, obviously, s...

In this study, poultry manure compost and organic fertilizer were added to soils derived from basalt, granite, and river alluvial deposits for use as soil parent materials. Following incubation periods of 30 or 60 days at 25 °C, the physical and chemical properties and adsorption characteristics of the soils were studied. The results indicated that the application of poultry manure compost or o...

Excessive or N-based application of poultry manure for crops may result in significant risk of P loss with surface runoff. This study assessed P loss immediately after poultry manure application to soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] residue with and without tillage at eight Iowa fields. Manure from chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus) or turkeys (Melleagris gollopavo) was applied at intended rates...
