A study was conducted at Bunda College during the 2003/04 crop season to assess the effect of fertilizer application practices on performance of maize with emphasis on improving the efficiency of using urea as a top dressing fertilizer The treatments were laid out as a split-plot in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with maize varieties as main plots and fertilizer application practices...

The effects of irrigation water salinity (12 dS m−), imposed at maximum tillering (35−40 days after sowing, DAS) or booting (50−60 DAS) or grain filling (75−85 DAS) stage of wheat, on growth and yield of the crop was demonstrated. The experiment comprised four treatments – I1: irrigation by fresh water (FW) at all three growth stages (control), I2: irrigation by saline water (SW) at maximum til...

Th e response of diff erent fertilizer doses was studied on the ratoon crop as well as main crop. Th e diff erent fertilizer doses under the study were F1 (N=90, P2O5 = 45, K2O=50, S=13, Zn = 4: in kg ha-1), F2 (N=105, P2O5 = 55, K2O=60, S=13, Zn = 4: in kg ha-1), F3 (N=120, P2O5 = 65, K2O=70, S=13, Zn = 4: in kg ha-1), F 4(N =135, P2O5 =75, K2O=80, S=13, Zn=4: in kg ha-1) and F5 (N=150, P2O5 =...

In 2017-2019, it was revealed that fertilizers provide 36 - 51% of the annual crops green mass yield, collection raw protein increases by 1.5 1.6 times. When N12 introduced against background phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, its content corresponded to 12.50%, when N75 introduced, increased 13.6 13.7%. Takeaway for N, P, K with use N 75 P 35 130-160 respectively times, 40 80-90% compared c...

The use of biostimulants in agriculture is an emerging technique that can contribute to improved production and resource efficiency. This research was carried out southern Italy evaluate the biostimulating effects seaweed extract (SW) azoxystrobin (AZ) on wild rocket subjected two water regimes (WRs) three nitrogen levels (NLs), grown pots under unheated greenhouse conditions. following treatme...

Fertilizer is a powerful productivity-enhancing input, but SSA uses very little. Historical trends are abysmal (Figure 1). In 1970, SSA used <5kg/ha while other developing regions used >15 kg/ha. In the 25 years from 1970 to 1995 fertilizer consumption grew only .23 kg/ha/year. Current use is only 9 kg/ha, down from OBJECTIVES AND METHODS: The research highs of 11-12. This contrasts sharply wit...

Finger millet is extensively cultivated in the tropical and sub-tropical regions of Africa known to save lives small income farmers from starvation at times extreme drought. Therefore, this field experiment was carried out study integrated effect vermicompost inorganic fertilizer blended NPSB with urea on yield components finger millet. Treatments consisted four levels (25, 50, 75, 100%) three ...
