to evaluate the effect of slow release fertilizer and humic acid on quality of new guinea impatiens (impatiens hawkeri), an experiment established in complete random design with 15 treatments and three replications. treatments were slow release fertilizer (12-11-18-2.7mgo-8s) in five levels (0, 1.5, 3, 4.5 and 6 kg/m3) and humic acid in three levels (0, 2 and 4 kg/m3) that mixed with medium cul...

Based on various characteristics of zeolite, its utilization in the manufacture of fertilizers with slow-release properties is possible. The objectives of this study are to characterize and utilized nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (NPK) slow release fertilizer by using natural zeolite in Indonesia. In this research, zeolite was utilized as a mixture of Slow Release Fertilizer (SRF). Effect o...

Tillage practices and nitrogen (N) sources are important factors affecting rice production. Few studies, however, have examined the interactions between tillage practices and N fertilizer sources on NH3 volatilization, nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), and rice grain yield. This study aimed to investigate the effects of N fertilizer sources (no N fertilizer, inorganic N fertilizer, organic N ferti...

Nitrogen management practices have an effect on crop yields but they can also have a negative impact on the environment. Practices such as banding fertilizer and/or split-applying total nitrogen needs per acre offer a more efficient use of nitrogen by significantly reducing nitrate leaching potential. Heavy rains occurring when plants are small and nitrogen demands are low can also increase nit...

Potassium has an important role in the process of plant growth, but its presence and availability soil are limited, because potassium is easily lost flows out by water. Increasing efficiency fertilization can be pursued through formulation fertilizer form slow-release (SRF) using bentonite. This study aimed to determine release chloride into after bonding with acid-activated bentonite coated ch...

In order to improve the use efficiency of a cover crop, hairy vetch (Vicia villosa R., HV), and supplemental chemical N fertilizer, N release and uptake patterns from HV, fast-release N fertilizer (Fast), and slow-release N fertilizer (Slow) in fresh market tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) production were investigated using the 15N-labeling method. In the incubation of soil-added N at two mix r...

A field-scale experiment with a complete randomized block design was performed to study the degradation of buried oil on a shoreline over a period of almost 1 year. The following four treatments were examined in three replicate blocks: two levels of fertilizer treatment of oil-treated plots, one receiving a weekly application of liquid fertilizer and the other treated with a slow-release fertil...
