in order to study on the effect of nitrogen, vermicompost and nitroxin biofertilizer on growth indices and phenology of sesame a field experiment was carried out at behbahan in summer of 2009. treatments were arranged in a factorial experiment based on rcbd with three replications. three rates of nitrogen fertilizer (50, 75 and 100% of region recommended nitrogen rate,) as a first factor, three...

an investigation was conducted on the effects of vermicompost as an organic matter and a substitute for fertilizers during year 2007 in ferdowsi university of mashhad (fum). vermicompost was applied at five levels (0, 10, 25, 50, 100%) and phosphorus at two levels with 3 replications for each treatment, as a factorial based on completely randomized design for super strain b tomato cultivar. the...

In this study, the effect of vermicompost and mycorrhizal fungi was investigated on growth, yield, chlorophyll pigments, leaf antioxidant enzymes, and seed silibinin content of Silybum marianum, milk thistle. The seeds were inoculated by two species of mycorrhiza fungi, Glomus mosseae and G. intraradices, and plants were irrigated and treated with 0, 25, 50, and 75% vermicompost after culturing...

This study investigated the effects of the sawdust vermicompost extract (aqueous extract) on yield and chemical quality of Dracaena marginata var.‘Tricolor’ grown under four sawdust vermicompost extract solutions (0, 250, 500 and 1000 ppm). The sawdust vermicompost extract was prepared using non-aerated extraction methods with 1:10 (v/v) of sawdust vermicompost to water and was sprayed three ti...

the present study was conducted to investigate the yield and some morphological characteristics of echinacea purpurea. the experiment was conducted in research farm of the ramin agriculture and natural resources university of khuzestan during 2013- 2014. the experiment was performed as a split plot factorial based on a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with four replications. the foliar a...

The system for production of inoculum of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) using sand and vermiculite irrigated with nutrient solution is promising. However, organic amendments added to the substrate can stimulate sporulation of AMF and replace the nutrient solution. The aim of this study was to maximize the production of AMF (Acaulospora longula, Claroideoglomus etunicatum, Dentiscutata heter...

BACKGROUND: Nutrient management is one of the most important factors that affect the growth and production of maize. OBJECTIVES: Current research was conducted to investigate the effect of Mycorrhizas and vermicompost on seed yield, its components and quantities traits such as concentration of protein, starch, zinc, potassium and nitrogen of corn seed.<br...

The aim of the study was to observe changes in the diversity of bacterial community in maize rhizosphere influenced by organic and mineral fertilization. Four variants of fertilization were tested vermicompost (VC) at recommended annual dose 40t*ha, doubled annual dose of VC, recommended dose of ammonium saltpeter with dolomite (LAD 27) and combination of VC and LAD 27. Experiment was conducted...

the effects of cattle manure vermicompost on the growth and productivity of cymbidium (cymbidium sp.) plants were evaluated under shade conditions. cymbidium was grown in a container medium including 50% pumice, 30% charcoal, 10% vermiculite and 10% peat moss, which was basic plant growth medium substituted with 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% (by volume) vermicompost. the control consisted of container ...
