Field plot experiments were conducted over 3 years (from April 2014 to November 2016) in a double-rice (Oryza sativa L.) cropping system in subtropical China to evaluate the effects of N fertilizer placement on grain yield and N recovery efficiency (NRE). Different N application methods included: no N application (CK); N broadcast application (NBP); N and NPK deep placement (NDP and NPKDP, resp...

in order to study the qualitative and quantitative yield and some agronomic characteristics of sunflower (helianthus annus l.) in response to seed inoculation with pgpr under various levels of nitrogen fertilizer, a factorial experiment was conducted based on a randomized complete block design with three replications in field experimental university of mohaghegh ardabili during growing season o...

In order to make clear the recent status and trend of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production in China, datasets from multiple field experiments and published literature were collected to study the agronomic characteristics related to grain yield, fertilizer application and nutrient use efficiency from the year 2000 to 2011. The results showed that the mean grain yield of wheat in 2000-2011 was...

the effect of different fertilizing systems and drought stress during grain development on grain minerals of barley (hordeum vulgare l.) was studied in field experiments on a clay-loamy soil during 2007 and 2008 growing seasons. the treatments consisted of three irrigation regimes (main plots) of: non-stressed (ns, normal irrigation continued until the end of plant physiological maturity), ...

Average yields of upland rice are the lowest in Uganda, and most of the productivity gains attributed to improved varieties are related to increased area of production from clearing virgin lands for rice production. In a bid to optimize productivity, we compared the effect of four nitrogen fertilizer treatments: 0, 40, 80 and 120 kgN/ha and two variety types (ITAs (Oryza sativa) and NERICAs (Ne...

The increasing food demands from an expanding population necessitate global efforts to increase crop production and ensure food security. The rate of nitrogen (N) fertilizer application is strongly related to crop yield. However, although the application of N fertilizer significantly increases the number of tillers in rice, late emerging tillers usually produce lower yields compared with early ...

to evaluate the effects of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr) such as azotobacter chroococcum, azospirillum lipoferom and brasilence and pseudomonas fluorescens and nitrogen fertilizer from urea source on yield and yield components of maize (zea mays l.) double cross hybrids (dc 370), a field experiment was carried out in a factorial experiment (5*3) in rcbd with 4 replications. bacter...

The objective of this study was to examine the impact of starter nitrogen fertilizer on soybean root activity, leaf photosynthesis, grain yield and their relationship. To achieve this objective, field experiments were conducted in 2013 and 2014, using a randomized complete block design, with three replications. Nitrogen was applied at planting at rates of 0, 25, 50, and 75 kg N ha-1. In both ye...
