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...

in the present experiment, the effects of nitrogen and phosphor fertilizer application in two methods of furrow and trickle irrigation on the yield and quality of sugar beet seed cultivar 7233 were studied. the experiment was conducted as a split factorial in a completely randomized block design with three replications during 2003 and 2004 in hamedan province. main plots were allocated to irrig...

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects of different fertilizer types and application rates on ammonia volatilization loss and to explore nitrogen distribution and nitrogen use efficiency using the 15N isotope tracing technique in different alkaline salt-affected conditions in the Songnen Plain, Northeast China. The results showed a decreasing trend in ammonia volatilization l...

up to now, interactions between method and amount of nitrogen fertilizers application on plant density and variety of wheat under sprinkler irrigation systems have not been studied. thus, this research was conducted during two years in esfehan region with split factorial design. the treatments of this experiment were: three fertilizers application methods (conventional manual application at the...

Introduction ield experience and research demonstrate that manure nutrients can be readily substituted for commercial fertilizer. Fertilizer needs depend on soil test levels. Substituting manure at a lower cost than commercial fertilizer can result in signifi cant savings if relatively uniform application and distribution can be maintained. The less nutrient-dense manure requires more hauling o...

Rashid, M. T., Voroney, P. and Parkin, G. 2005. Predicting nitrogen fertilizer requirements for corn by chlorophyll meter under different N availability conditions. Can. J. Soil Sci. 85: 149–159. Nitrogen management strategies that enhance fertilizer use efficiency and maximize profitability in corn require a rapid and accurate method to determine the crop N needs of current hybrids. The object...

in order to evaluate the effects of nitrogen levels and its split application on growth indices and their relationship with grain yield of rice (cv. khazar), a field experiment was conducted at rice research institute of iran with 11 treatments arranged in a randomized complete block design with 3 replications in 2008. nitrogen fertilizer levels (10, 20 and 30 kg.ha-1) were applied according to...

in order to study the effects of simultaneous application of znso4 and biological fertilizer, azotobacter chroococcum and azospirillum brasilense, on grain yield and nitrogen uptake efficiency in rapeseed (brassica napus l.), cv. hyola308, a field experiment was conducted as split plot factorial based on randomized complete block design at research field of faculty of agricultural sciences, uni...
