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...

Non-point source pollution is widely considered a serious threat to drinking water. Eutrophication in Chinese watershed is mainly due to nitrogen and phosphorus output from agricultural source. Taihu Lake is a typical eutrophic lake in China, a basin representative for the study of the temporal-spatial characteristics of pollution loading of nitrogen and phosphorus to provide scientific basis f...

in order to investigate the effects of soil chemical characteristics on weed species diversity in eastern mashhad region wheat (triticum aestivum l.) fields, an investigation was held in the year 2009. wheat fields were classified based on the acreage from 3-5, 5-10 and higher than 10 ha. five random soil samples were taken using a 5 cm diameter auger from the soil of each experimental field an...

background : the sequencing batch reactor (sbr) is one of the most widely used systems in sewage treatment because of the simplicity of the process, flexibility of operation in the removal of nutrients, and the ability to be used in different scales. the aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of the sbr in the removal of organic matter (nitrogen and phosphorus) from synthetic wastewat...

Background: Qual2k is a stream water quality model and was used to evaluate the water quality of the Kine-Vars River and assess the response of the river to nutrient management strategies. Methods: For that purpose, 7 sample stations were selected and surface water samples were collected in the winter and summer of 2012 and were analyzed for temperature, dissolved oxygen, biological oxygen dem...

Extraordinary importance of Date-Palm, Phoenix dactylifera especially ‘Piarom’ variety and also undeniable effect of nitrogen and phosphorus on yield and quality of this product, caused this research to be accomplished. The research was performed during two years on 72 (4*3*3*2=72 trees) fruitful, 12 years old trees in Hormozgan province. Treatments were consisted of four levels of nitrogen (0,...

Before selecting genotypes for nutritional quality characters (protein, oil and micronutrients content) and anti-nutritional factor (phytic acid), it is important to know how much selection is likely to affect yield. Using a diverse range of genotypes, relationships between quality traits with yield and yield attributes in pearl millet were investigated. The number of productive tillers, panicl...

plackett-burman design was used for selection of important media components such as carbon and nitrogen sources and minerals which affect poly(hydroxybutyrate) production and cell growth of methylobacterium extorquens dsmz 1340. among the studied variables, nitrogen and phosphorus sources, mgso4 and most of the trace elements were found to be significant variables for phb production from methan...

to study the effect of chemical and biological fertilizers on growth and essential oil content of lavender (lavandula angustifolia mill.), the present work was conducted in 2012-2013 at the experimental field of alborz research station of the research institute of forests and rangelands, karaj, iran. the experiment was conducted in factorial in the form of a randomized complete block design wit...
