During 19 years of research on silage maize grown a fertile sandy loam soil in Flanders, we compared the use of only inorganic nitrogen (S−) with a system of an annual application of dairy cattle slurry (S+, corresponding with an average rate of 180 kg N ha−1) supplemented with inorganic fertilizer nitrogen. The objectives were to study the efficiency of slurry-N, to determine the economic opti...

abstract- declining land productivity associated with decreasing soil organic carbon and nutrients is a significant issue in monoculture production. the field experiment with different rates of fertilizer systems (60 kg ha-1 n + 100 kg ha-1 p, 300 kg ha-1 bio-organic (organic fertilizer), 3 kg ha-1 bioumik (biofertilizer), 30 kg ha-1  n + 50 kg ha-1 p + 150 kg ha-1 bio-organic fertilizer and 30...

A study was conducted to investigate the effect of different planting densities and nitrogen doses on essential oil content and yield in herb and leaves of basil (Ocimum basilicum L.). The research was conducted during 2007 and 2008 using split-plot randomized complete block design with four replications. The experiment consisted of four plant densities (30×20, 40×20 and 50×20 cm) as the main p...

A field experiment was performed from 2003 to 2008 to evaluate the effects of tillage system and nitrogen management regimes on crop yields and nitrate leaching from the fluvo-aquic soil with a winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)-maize (Zea mays L.) double-cropping system. The tillage systems consisted of conventional tillage (CT) and no-tillage (NT). Three nitrogen management regimes were incl...

this research has been done for studying the effect of split application of nitrogen fertilizer on growth indexes and yield of three hybrids of grain corn in shahrood. a split plot experiment based on randomized complete block design with four replications was carried out in 2007. three hybrids of corn (double cross 370, single cross 447, single cross 499) were placed in main plots and split ap...

background and objectives: over the last two decades, a large number of researches have been conducted regarding the importance of nitrogen in sugar beet. this indicate that there were needs to investigate more on nitrogen management to achive higher production and quality because less nitrogen application result in reducing yield and high nitrogen application would increase production costs an...

in order to study the effects of different irrigation regimes and nitrogen fertilizer levels on yield and yield components of chickpea (ilc482), a field experiment involving chickpea genotype ilc482 was conducted as factorial arrangement based on a randomized complete block design with four replications in the agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad during growing season o...
