to study the effect of different fertilization systems on forage quality and secondary metabolites ofmedicinal forage in additive intercropping of alfalfa and fennel an experiment was conducted as split plotbased on randomized complete block design with three replications at college of agriculture, shaheduniversity in tehran, 2011. the main plots were allocated to different levels biofertilizer...

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...

This note demonstrates that a certain class of stochastic problems for determination of optimal fertilizer application rates in the presence of fertilizer carry-over can be simplified to static, certainly equivalent problems. Conditions required for certainty equivalence to hold are: (1) fertilizer carry-over is agronomically equivalent to applied fertilizer; and (2) some addition of fertilizer...

Bush bean, long bean, mung bean, and winged bean plants were grown with N fertilizer at rates of 0, 2, 4, and 6 g N m(-2) preceding rice planting. Concurrently, rice was grown with N fertilizer at rates of 0, 4, 8, and 12 g N m(-2). No chemical fertilizer was used in the 2nd year of crop to estimate the nitrogen agronomic efficiency (NAE), nitrogen recovery efficiency (NRE), N uptake, and rice ...

BACKGROUND: Fertilizer management plays an important role to achieve sustainable agriculture. OBJECTIVES: Current study was conducted to assess response of agrophysiological traits of wheat to apply different level of fertilizer and biologic fertilizer (Phosphorus and Nitrogen). METHODS: This research was carried out via factorial e...

Nitrogen (N) losses negatively impact groundwater quality. Spring wheat genotypes varying in N-fertilizer recovery were studied (by using lysimeters) for their potential to minimize NO3-N leaching during spring and summer, over a three-year period. Additionally, we examined to what extent root growth and NO3-N leaching explain the well-known difference found between apparent and isotopic N reco...

The purpose of this study is to investigate the interactions between irrigation and fertilizer treatments on soil NO3 (-)-N content and vertical distribution under drip fertigation in greenhouse tomatoes. Randomized block design with three replications and the treatments consisting of three levels of irrigation and three levels of N fertilizer were used. Three irrigation levels were W1 (100%  E...

Just after transplanting, the vegetable has difficulty in nutrients uptake. To explore the effect of different fertilization on spring cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata) production and fertilizer use efficiencies, this experiment consisting of six treatments was implemented and divided into three groups: 1) no fertilizer (NF) and vegetable planting fertilizer (VPF); 2) conventional fe...

Measurements of methane (CH(4)) and nitrous oxide (N(2)O) fluxes have been extensively taken following rice seedlings transplanted into paddy fields, while little is known about CH(4) and N(2)O fluxes from rice seedling nurseries. Fluxes of CH(4) and N(2)O were simultaneously measured in rice seedling nurseries under the water regimes of continuous flooding and moist irrigation without waterlog...

years. Fertilizing once in the spring with a complete fertilizer with Uramite as the nitrogen source was satisfactory. On Lakeland soil Valencia and Hamlin orange tree growth was very good when about 1, 2, and 4 pounds of 8-2-8 inorganic fertilizer was applied in the first, second, and third seasons, respectively. Timing of applications of fertilizer also was not critical for young Valencia or ...
