This research involved in and coordinated multidisciplinary and complementary natural resources in the area of sustainable soil and plant nutrient management as well as economic benefits of edible herb production systems. The main concern was selection of the right growing media to achieve optimum yield and growth rate while avoiding application of synthetic fertilizers.Froriepia subpinnata is ...

sod culture is one of the important methods in establishing and repairing of turf grass, especially in sport fields. nowadays, a mixture of sand and peat are commonly used in sod production in iran. because peat media is expensive, it seems necessary to find an alternative medium. rice hull, tea waste and leaf compost as economical organic material that are available in huge loads in north of i...

Changes in physical and chemical characteristics of an organic waste (tomato crop waste) throughout composting (COM), vermicomposting (VER) and the combination of both processes (C+V) were assessed at five selected stages. COM consisted of a combination of the static Rutgers system with forced aeration and pile turning. For VER Eisenia worms were fed with the raw material. For C+V pre-composted...

It can by using organic and bio-fertilizer minimize vegetables plants requirements from inorganic synthetic fertilizers which are potentially more detrimental to the environment. The objective of this work was to study the response of sweet pepper plants cv. California Wonder to some micro-organisms and organic fertilizer by soil inoculation with different rats of compost tea (10 or 20 L/fed.) ...

The glass house experiment involving compost tea and harvest age was conducted to investigate the effect of giving (cricket rabbit feces) harvesting on productivity, nutrient content, in vitro digestibility value Cichorium intybus. Compost (CT) is an aqueous extract from that can correct deficiencies during crop production protect cultivation. research treatment consisted two factors, namely: d...

casing material or soil (casing) is used in mushroom (agaricus bisporus) culture to cover a nutritional composted substrate colonised with mycelium, and has an essential function in stimulating and promoting the development of sporophores (fruit bodies). in order to use the agricultural by products (different wastes) to reduce peat consumption of casing soil in button mushroom production, an ex...

Biofertilizers have been suggested as alternatives to synthetic fertilizers, which could reduce soil degradation brought on by excessive chemical fertilization and an impact the bacterial diversity community in soil. The of bacteria tea plantations treated with wheat straw compost have, however, received relatively little attention. In this research, a two-year field trial was run examine effec...
