karim as a new line (hamam-4: t.aest/sprw's'//ca8055/3/bacanora86 icw92-0477-1ap-1ap-4ap-1ap-0ap) was evaluated at gachsaran agricultural research station in 2004-2005. it was selected for its high grain yield (3975 kg ha-1) and included in advance yield trial in gachsaran, khoramabad, gonbad, moghan and ilam field stations in next growing season. average yield of this line and check ...

A field experiment was conducted in 2007 and 2008 on a slightly acidic alfisol. Poultry manure (PM) was applied at 0, 5 t ha(-1), 10 t ha(-1), 15 t ha(-1), and 20 t ha(-1) in combination with SSP at 0, 15 kg P ha(-1), 30 kg P ha(-1), 45 kg P ha(-1), and 60 kg P ha(-1), which was replicated three times. The pH and organic C were significantly increased by the application of PM alone while availa...

A field experiment was conducted on deep vertisols of Bhopal, India to evaluate the manural potential of three organic manures: farmyard manure (FYM), poultry manure (PM), phosphocompost (PC) vis-a-vis 0%, 75% and 100% recommended dose of fertilizer-NPK and to find out the most productive cropping system at various combinations of organic manures and chemical fertilizers. The seed yield of inte...

Field experiments were conducted in 2006 to investigate the impacts of modified rice cultivation systems on: grain yield, N uptake, ammonia volatilization from rice soil and N use efficiency (ANUE, agronomic N use efficiency; and PFP, partial factor productivity of applied N). The trials compared rice production using modified methods of irrigation, planting, weeding and nutrient management (th...

Organic farming/products are becoming very necessary in today’s world to control ecosystem health and to impart related human health benefits, world over there is growing demand for organic produce. A field experiment was conducted at the research farm of Kilpest India Ltd., Bhopal, during 2009 on rice using BGA Chlorella pyrenoidosa and Nostoc muscorum and biological hydrolysate of Soybean .Th...

The study was conducted at the On Farm Research Division (OFRD) farm, Rangpur from 2002-2003 to 2004-2005 to see the effect of inorganic fertilizers along with organic manure and mungbean residue on soil properties and yield of crops. For the first crop (maize), there were five treatments. After harvest of maize, mungbean and dhaincha (Sesbania) seeds were sown as per treatments. For T. Aman ri...

Maize grain yield varies highly with water availability as well as with fertilization and relevant agricultural management practices. With a 311-A optimized saturation design, field experiments were conducted between 2006 and 2009 to examine the yield response of spring maize (Zhengdan 958, Zea mays L) to irrigation (I), nitrogen fertilization (total nitrogen, urea-46% nitrogen,) and phosphorus...

A field experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2013 to find out the effect of ecofriendly modified urea materialsunder aerobic and puddled rice cultivation on growth andyield of rice at College Farm, PJTSAU. The results revealed with application of natural nitrification inhibitors (NNI)significantly improved plant growth parameters and inturn grain yield over prilled urea (PU)in both ...

The aim of this study was to assess whether seed coating with microbialconsortium based on the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus Glomus intraradicesBEG72, Glomus mossae and Trichoderma atroviride MUCL 45632 could improveseedling establishment, yield and grain quality (protein content and mineralcomposition) of wheat (Triticum durum Desf.). As a first step, a laboratoryexperiment was conducted ...
