Regardless of the crop production system, nutrients inputs must be controlled at or below a certain economic threshold to achieve an acceptable level of profitability. The use of management zones and variable-rate fertilizer applications is gaining popularity in precision agriculture. Many researchers have evaluated the application of final yield maps and geo-referenced geophysical measurements...

introduction: weeds causing 15 % or more damage to crops, annually. the amount of these damages depends upon different factors such as cultivar type and weeds species. wild mustard is a cosmopolitan and most serious broad leaf weed in wheat fields which has widespread through world including iran. rapid emergence of wild mustard under cold condition and fast growth early in the spring are reaso...

during the last few decades cereals yield have increased drastically at the national level however, information about yield stability and its resistance to annual environmental variability are scare. in this study long term stability of grin yield of wheat, barley, rice, corn and overall cereals in iran were evaluated during a 40-year period (1971-2011). stability analysis was conducted using t...

abstract conservation tillage practices integrated with appropriate residue management is an efficient approach in sustainable agriculture to prevent the removal or burning of crop residues. two years field experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of wheat residue management on yield, yield component and morphophysiological characteristics of corn. experimental design was split plot us...

a solid state fermentation method was used to utilize wheat straw as substrates for citric acid production by using aspergillus niger atcc 9142. the plackett burman design (pbd) of experiments was used to test the relative importance of the variables affecting production such as moisture content, age of spore, inoculum size, initial ph of substrate, methanol concentration, incubation temperatur...

a four - year field experiment (1999-2002) was conducted on a silty clay loam soil at laklak research field of hamedan to determine the effects of crop residue management and plowing depth on soil fertility and wheat yield in a maize-wheat rotation. in this investigation, four corn residue managements were used consisting of 1) stalk shredding by maize stalk shredder 2) stalk shredding by disk ...

low nitrogen (n) use efficiency is considered to be one of the major problems in wheat production fields all over the world. this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of nitrification inhibitor (ni) 3, 4- dimethylpyrazole phosphate (dmpp) on the yield and nitrogen use efficiency of spring wheat (triticum aestivum l.) cv. bahar during 2011 at shahrekord university. a factorial experi...
