abstract- to investigate the effects of bio-chemical and organic fertilizers on yield and seeds npk contents of pumpkin (cucurbita pepo var. styriaca), an experiment was conducted at the research farm of kurdistan university in 2009 growing season. treatments were included 1) control, 2) seeds inoculated with free-living n fixing bacteria (nfb), 3) seeds inoculated with phosphate-solubilizing b...

Recent research on seeds of bio-diesel plants like Jatropha curcas, constituting 40-50% bio-crude oil indicates its potential as one of the most promising alternatives to conventional sources of energy. Also, limited studies on utilization of de-oiled cake have revealed that Jatropha bio-waste has good potential to be used as organic fertilizers produced via aerobic and anaerobic treatment. How...

Effects of bio-nitrogen fertilizer (bio-N), as a partial alternative to mineral-nitrogen fertilizer (mineral-N), on growth, yield and yield quality of broccoli plants were investigated. Bio-N was applied at 1, 2 or 3 doses in combination with 65% of the recommended dose of mineral-N (bio-N1, bio-N2 or bio-N3 + 2⁄3mineral-N). However, 100% of the recommended dose of mineralN was applied as a con...

in order to study the effects of integrated application of bio-fertilizer and chemical fertilizers on yield and yield components of corn, an experiment was conducted in 2008 in dezful city, (khoozestan province) in a factorial arrangement based on complete randomized block design with four replications. treatments were integrated application of biological and chemical fertilizers in four levels...

A comparative study on the effect of chemical fertilizers and bio-fertilizers was done on growth and biochemical parameters in cucumber plant (Cucumis sativus L.). An experiment was conducted in randomized completely blocks design (RCBD) with four replicates. The treatment were (T1= control, T2= bio-fertilizer, T3= chemical and T4= combination treatment (biofertilizer and 1⁄2 chemical)) at Agri...

A comparative study on the effect of chemical fertilizers and bio-fertilizers was done on growth and biochemical parameters in cucumber plant (Cucumis sativus). An experiment was conducted in Randomized Completely Blocks Design (RCBD) with four replicates. The treatment were (T1 = Control, T2 = Bio-fertilizer, T3 = Chemical and T4 = Combination treatment (biofertilizer and 1/2 chemical)) at Agr...

A study was conducted to determine the efficacy of applying ground magnesium limestone (GML) or ground basalt in combination with bio-fertilizer to sustain rice production on an acid sulfate soil in Malaysia. Soils from Kelantan Plains, Malaysia, were treated with GML, ground basalt, bio-fertilizer, GML + bio-fertilizer, and ground basalt + bio-fertilizer (4 t ha 1 each). Results showed that so...

Fusarium wilt is one of the main diseases of cucumber, and bio-organic fertilizer has been used to control Fusarium wilt. In this study, a pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of bio-organic fertilizer applied at four levels on the suppression of Fusarium wilt disease in cucumber, the soil physico-chemical properties and the microbial communities. In comparison with the control ...

a experiment was lay out in order to evaluate the effects  of different biofertilizers on yield and yield components of maize at the lorestan provience, iran. the experiment was a factorial design with three replications. treatments were three nitrogen biofrtilizers (nitrokara (n1), o4 (n2), o6 (n3) and control (n4)) and three phosphate biofrtilizers (phosphate barvar2 (p1), biozarr (p2), mc1+p...

The surface mining activities in the past and in recent times has resulted into existence of number of overburden dumps through excavation and depositing removed soil and rock debris. These dumps require environmental stabilization/restoration, through proper revegetation. To achieve this aim, a study was conducted to find the efficacy of Mung bean (Vigna radiata L.), an economically important ...
