The effect that application of nitrogen-phosphorus (NP) rates exerts on some parameters of nitrogen metabolism and on yield in aubergine plants (eggplant, Solanummelongena cv. Bonica) was studied. All plants were grown under controlled conditions in an experimental greenhouse. The treatments consisted of the combination of three rates of N in the form of KNO3 (N1: 15 g m-2, N2: 22.5 g m,-2 and ...

This study aims to determine the effect of giving type biochar, dose NPK fertilizer, and knowing interaction biochar fertilizer on growth production green lettuce. research was conducted in May 2020 at Screen House Jember State Polytechnic with an altitude ±89 meters above sea level. The method used is a factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD). first factor which consists 3 levels, namely ...

Nitrogen is a critical nutrient for plants and animals, and terrestrial ecosystems and headwater streams have a considerable ability to capture nitrogen or to reduce it to N2 gas though the process of denitrification. Nitrogen cycling and retention is thus one of the most important functions of ecosystems (Vitousek et al., 2002). When loads of nitrogen from fertilizer, septic tanks, and atmosph...

Beans (Phase()las valgtais L.) often respond to N fertilization; however, N fertilization is not practiced for maximum seed production in southern Idaho. This suggests that the symbiotic relationship and/or soil N sources can provide most of the N needed by this legume. Our objective was to evaluate the relative contribution of the symbiotic-nonsymbiotic N sources by studying the effects of N f...

Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a potent greenhouse gas that is produced during microbial nitrogen transformation processes such as nitrification and denitrification. Soils represent the largest sources of N2O emissions with nitrogen fertilizer application being the main driver of rising atmospheric N2O concentrations. Soil biochar amendment has been proposed as a promising tool to mitigate N2O emission...

to investigate the appropriate distribution of nitrogen fertilizer application and optimum amount of phosphorus fertilizer to achieve high quality and quantitative yield in edible and seed potato (solanum tuberosum l.) tubers, this experiment was conducted in research farm of the college of agriculture and natural resources, university of tehran in 2012. the experiment was performed a strip spl...

• Session 1: Objectives, outcomes, and trade-offs associated with alternative fertilizer promotion programmes. • Session 2: What determines the cost of fertilizer at the farm gate? Cost build-up analysis (Bumb, g p y (IFDC) • Session 3: Fertilizer profitability analysis (Rashid and Jayne, IFPRI/MSU) • Session 4: Experiences and lessons learned with alternative fertilizer promotion efforts (Mino...

The relationships between biogeochemical processes and microbial functions in rice (Oryza sativa) paddies have been the focus of a large number of studies. A mechanistic understanding of methane-nitrogen (CH4-N) cycle interactions is a key unresolved issue in research on rice paddies. This minireview is an opinion paper for highlighting the mechanisms underlying the interactions between biogeoc...

The water fern Azolla harbors nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium Anabaena azollae as symbiont in its dorsal leaves and is known as potent N2 fixer. Present investigation was carried out to study the influence of fresh Azolla when used as basal incorporation in soil and as dual cropped with rice variety Mahsoori separately and together with and without chemical nitrogen fertilizer in pots kept under...

[1] Here we describe, test, and apply a spatially explicit, global model for predicting dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) export by rivers to coastal waters (NEWS-DIN). NEWS-DIN was developed as part of an internally consistent suite of global nutrient export models. Modeled and measured DIN export values agree well (calibration R = 0.79), and NEWS-DIN is relatively free of bias. NEWS-DIN pred...
