Current biofuel feedstock crops such as corn lead to large environmental losses of N through nitrate leaching and NO emissions; second-generation cellulosic crops have the potential to reduce these N losses. We measured N losses and cycling in establishing miscanthus (), switchgrass ( L. fertilized with 56 kg N ha yr), and mixed prairie, along with a corn ( L.)-corn-soybean [ (L.) Merr.] rotati...

Present study was carried out during 2018–19 and 2019–20 at ICAR-Directorate of Rapeseed-Mustard Research, Bharatpur, Rajasthan to evaluate the effect nitrogen (N) sulphur (S) nutrition on production efficiency, water productivity, economics Indian mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Czern & Coss.] under irrigated conditions. The experiment conducted in a split plot design with 5 levels (0, 60, 8...

A field experiment was conducted to study the response of wheat and rice to potassium during 2004-05. The basal dose of N at 120 kg, P2O5 at 90 kg ha -1 was applied with K levels to both wheat and rice crops. Wheat variety Naseer 2000 and rice variety IRRI 6 were used in the study. The experiment was carried out in R.C.B design with three replications. Potassium application significantly increa...

An experiment was conducted at the research farm of Crop Physiology and Ecology Department, Hajee Mohammad Danesh Science and Technology University, Dinajpur, Bangladesh, during November 2013 to April 2014 to determine the growth and yield performance of four varieties of black cumin (Exotic variety, BARI kalozira-1, Faridpur local and Natore local) as influenced by three levels of fertilizers ...

Drought is one of the most important factors that limits N fixation, growth and yield of soybean. 2 The aim of this study was to determine the effects of water stress, starter N application and seed inoculation on yield and yield components of soybean (cv. Williams). The experiment was conducted in 2010 at the Islamshahr town that located in 12 km of South-west of Tehran, the capital of Iran. T...
