ABSTRACT- To investigate the effects of bio-chemical and organic fertilizers on yield and seeds NPK contents of pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo var. styriaca), an experiment was conducted at the Research Farm of Kurdistan University in 2009 growing season. Treatments were included 1) control, 2) seeds inoculated with free-living N fixing bacteria (NFB), 3) seeds inoculated with phosphate-solubilizing b...

introduction: soil fertility management is a key factor in achieving sustainable agriculture. use of organic fertilizers is one of the methods that without environmental harmful effects with improvement of chemical and biological conditions increases soil fertility. nitroxin contains a collection of the best strains of nitrogen fixation bacteria of the genus azospirillum and azotobacter. these ...

Abstract Late blight disease is one of the problems faced by potato farmers. Chemical fertilizer and biological (bio-fertilizer) reported have a potential to control late disease. However, there lack research on effect combining use different types bio-fertilizers with doses chemical fertilizers in plants This study aims analyze plants. was conducted from June August Sembalun District, West Nus...

Rock phosphate (RP) addition in cow-dung waste-paper mixtures at rates above 2% P has been reported to increase the rate of bio-transformation and humification of organic waste mixtures during vermicomposting to produce organic fertilizer for organic farming. However, the optimization of RP for vermicomposting was not established. The objective of this study was to determine the optimal amount ...

To ensure long-term food production in a changing world, it is critical to identify field management practices that increase crop yields and maintain soil health. Additionally, sustainable agriculture needs provide experimental evidence support the use of traditional agricultural practices. In this study, 20-year investigation effects different combinations fertilizer types (control, chemical f...

Because of the high concentration of nutrients in human urine, its utilization as an organic fertilizer has been notable throughout history. However, the nitrogen compounds in urine are not stable. Therefore, to convert urine into a suitable fertilizer, it is important to stabilize and adjust unstable nitrogen compounds such as ammonia. Because nitrification can influence the nitrogen profile, ...

broomrape would have irreversible effects on tomatoes in all growth stages and the damage would be unrecoverable. in order to chemically control orobanche spp with consumption of bio-fertilizer in tomato cultivation, an experiment as factorial based on complete randomized blocks design in three replications and 12 plots was carried out at a farm which is located in mahabad city (iran). in this ...

A pot experiment was carried out on hybrid drumstick PKM 1 added with inorganic and organic fertilisers. Seeds of hybrid Drumstick PKM1 were sown in the plastic pots in glass house condition. Single inorganic fertilizer, phosphate solubiliser and bio organic fertilizer as well as in different combinations were applied to the pots. Data revealed that plant height, fresh and dry biomass, moisture...

to study the effects of biological and manure fertilizer on quantity and quality characteristics of roselle (hibiscus sabdariffa l.), an experiment was conducted as split plot based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at the agricultural research center of zabol university, iran during growing season of 2012-2013. treatments included three manure level; 0, 10 and 20 t....

Fertilizer management plays an important role in obtaining satisfactory yields from maize. In addition, fertilizer management is essential for achieving sustainable agriculture and protecting the environment. This research was conducted by split plot experiment based on randomized complete block design with four replications. Main factor was integrated with chemical and biological fertilizers i...
