Oil palm is a plantation crop that produces vegetable oil, and people highly need it, so it requires efforts to increase its production. One way by utilizing existing land without having open new oil areas with replanting. This study aimed analyze the effect of fertilization frequency on different tillage get best leaf nutrient levels growth plants. research experimented split-plot design (SPD)...

Nitrogen deposition has dramatically altered biodiversity and ecosystem functioning on the earth; however, its effects on soil bacterial community and the underlying mechanisms of these effects have not been thoroughly examined. Changes in ecosystems caused by nitrogen deposition have traditionally been attributed to increased nitrogen content. In fact, nitrogen deposition not only leads to inc...

Origanum onites and Origanum vulgare ssp. hirtum were collected from Balikesir, on the north west of Turkey. The nitrogen contents in organs such as root, stem, leaf and flower of Origanum onites and Origanum vulgare ssp. hirtum taxa in vegetative and generative growth stages were investigated. Nitrogen analyses of soil and plant samples were carried out according to the Kjeldahl method. It was...

in order to study the effects of potassium application on uptake and allocation of nitrogen and seed protein on two lentil cultivars in rain-fed condition a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted at ardabil research center for agriculture and natural resources, in 2008. three potassium levels (0, 30 and 60 kg.ha-1), three nitrogen le...

this study setout to investigate the effect of wheat residue, tillage, and nitrogen fertilizer management on some agronomic traits of soybean as a split split plot based on randomized complete block design with three replications. the main plots included wheat residue management: collecting and leaving residue and sub plot included tillage (without tillage and conventional tillage), and the sub...

Under favorable soil conditions such as existence of easily destructible organic compounds, balanced heat and moisture, adequate ventilation and abundant nutrients, organic materials are mineralized. Once mineralizing occurs, mineral elements like P, S, Ca, Mg, K and other cations are released. A related study was conducted to determine the effect of seven organic fertilizers (Leaf Mold (LM), R...

The low fertilizer utilization at growing season and environment pollution coursed by unreasonable fertilization are becoming global outstanding problems in agricultural production. Scientific and reasonable fertilization based on rapid and nondestructive plant nutrient detection will be a valuable solution for solving above problems. In this study, spectral transmittance in wavelength ranged f...

In order to study effects of nitrogen fertilization and cultivars on some of traits of different barley an experiment was conducted at Isfahan in 2012. The experimental was split plot in a randomized complete block design with three replications. In this experiment, different levels of nitrogen in the main plots included four levels (0, 50, 100 and 150 N kg/ha (urea)) and barley cultivars inclu...

BACKGROUND Current plant--herbivore interaction models and experiments with mammalian herbivores grazing plant monocultures show the superiority of a maximizing forage quality strategy (MFQ) over a maximizing intake strategy (MI). However, there is a lack of evidence whether grazers comply with the model predictions under field conditions. METHODOLOGY/FINDINGS We assessed diet selection of sh...
