In the Lorraine region, major soils used for winter oilseed rape are calcareous. Across two pot and two field experiments, we studied the influence of sulfur applied at different levels on apparent N-use efficiency (ANU ), yield, glucosinolate (GLS) and oil content of seeds. The soil received a constant dose of 200 kg N ha−1 as ammonium nitrate, urea or cow slurry and three levels of S: 0, 30 a...

Centella asiatica is an herbal plant with many health benefits due to the content of asiaticoside compounds. Factors affecting are altitude, soil texture, and nutrient status. This research aimed identify effect zeolite, P2O5 fertilizer, media from different altitudes on C. asiatica. The was conducted in a greenhouse August 2017–June 2018. experimental design factorial, completely randomized th...

A 3- years (2015, 2016 and 2017) field study was carried out at National Wheat Research Program, Bhirahawa, Rupandehi, Nepal to evaluate the influence of crop residues and nitrogen levels on rice. The experiment was conducted in split plot design with three replications. Main plots were two crop residue levels (with crop residues of 30 cm wheat stubble and without crop residues) and sub plots c...

An experiment was conducted in twelve 200-m2 earthen ponds at the Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand, for 91 days from 11 September to 11 December 1998. The experiment was designed to determine the optimal rate of nitrogen fertilization in cool season, to determine which of the nitrogen fertilization rates evaluated to produce Nile tilapia had the greatest profitability, and to develop a f...

in order to evaluate the effect of different sources and rates of nitrogen the growth and biomass production of purslane, a randomized complete block design was conducted with three replications at the agricultural research farm of shahrekord university in 2012. fertilization treatments were consisted of control (no n amendment), 30 and 90 kg n ha-1in the form of urea fertilizer, 30 and 90 kg n...

The objective of the following experiments was to examine the effect of dried distillers grains plus solubles (DDGS) supplementation of calves grazing bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) pasture during summer (Exp. 1) or fed lowquality tall fescue hay (Exp. 2, Festuca arundinacea) during winter months. In Exp. 1, a total of 36 steers (261 kg) were randomly assigned to one of nine 0.81-ha pastures r...

Despite the importance of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) in the world, this crop has received least research attention in Pakistan. Therefore, a field experiment was carried out to evaluate the performance of tillage system under various irrigation intervals and phosphorus levels on oil contents, yield and yield attributes of Sesame. The experiment was conducted at New Developmental Farm of the Un...

Growth, nutrient balance, plasma ammonia levels and urinary p-cresol excretion were evaluated in growing pigs fed diets containing various levels of zeolite A or clinoptilolite. In one growth trial, crossbred pigs averaging 25 kg initial body weight were assigned to diets containing no zeolite, .3% zeolite A or .5% clinoptilolite for a 6-wk growing phase trial. Average daily gain (ADG), average...

in order to investigate the effects of municipal waste compost and benefit fungi of trichoderma species on seedling emergence parameters, growth and some micronutrients uptake of garden cress a pot experiment was carried out in factorial arrangement based on randomized complete block design with 3 replications. treatments consisted of three levels of municipal waste compost (15, 30, 45 mg ha-1 ...

Field experiments were performed to identify an effective fertilizing scheme for direct-seeding rice (DSR) fields in the Taihu Lake Basin in east China. Based on local traditions, 3 typical fertilizing schemes (FS-1, FS-2, and FS3) were evaluated, in consideration of ensuring a certain rice yield and relatively low nitrogen (N) loss. The base, seedling, tillering, jointing, and panicle fertiliz...
