precise application of the n fertilizer rate is critical to achieve maximum yield. in major regions, empirical methods were used for determining n fertilizer requirement. these methods cannot take into account variation in management and environmental conditions on determining fertilizer requirement. crop simulation models can provide an alternative means of determining the optimum crop n requi...

in order to study the influence of municipal waste compost and chemical fertilizer on yield and yield components in maize (zea mays l.) an experiment was conducted at research farm of sari agricultural sciences and natural resources university during 2007. the experiment was arranged in split plots based on complete randomized block design with two factors and three replications. main plot incl...

in order to evaluate the effect of balanced application of chemical phosphorus fertilizer and seed inoculation with phosphate solubilizing bacterium and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus and on the yield and yield components of maize (zea mays l.) under normal and limited irrigation conditions, a split-split plots arrangement based on randomized complete block design with three replications was con...

The drawbacks to multivariate charting schemes is their inability to identify which variable was the source of the signal. The multivariate exponentially weighted moving average (MEWMA) developed by Lowry, et al (1992) is an example of a multivariate charting scheme whose monitoring statistic is unable to determine which variable caused the signal. In this paper, the run length performance of m...

to evaluate the effects of biological phosphorous, chemical fertilizers and limited irrigation regime on quantitative and qualitative characteristics of two different grain sorghum cultivars (kimiya and speedeh), this experiment was conducted in research farm of college of agriculture, university of tehran during 2009 growing season. the experimental treatments were arranged as split split plot...

to study the effects of simultaneous application of urea, znso4 and inoculants, (azotobacter and azospirillum), on uptake and nitrogen use efficiency in rapeseed, var. hyola308, a field experiment with split plot factorial layout based on a randomized complete block design was conducted at the research field of faculty of agricultural science, university of guilan in 2008. experimental treatmen...

Most agricultural crops cultivated in Brazil are highly nutrient demanding. Brazilian soils are generally acidic with low base saturation and available nutrients. Demand for fertilizer application has increased because the national agricultural sector expansion. To improve productivity without environmental impact, there is the need for the utilization of novel procedures and techniques to opti...

in order to study the effects of nitrogen fertilizer on yield and growth of soybean (glycine max l.) an experiment as factorial in rcb design with three replications was conducted during 2006 and 2007 years at north khorasan. factors were cultivar (hobbit, l.w.k., and williams), and nitrogen fertilizer (0, 50, 100, and 150 kg n/ha from urea source). results indicated that cultivar and n fertili...

Nonpoint-source pollution from agricultural activities is currently the leading cause of degradation of waterways in the United States. Applying best management practices to flood-irrigated mountain meadows may improve agricultural runoff and return flow water quality. Prior research has focused on fertilizer use for increased hay yields, while few studies have investigated the environmental im...

the effect of concentration and time of supplementary nitrogen fertilizer spray application on grain yield and nitrogen use efficiency in rapeseed (hyola401) as a second crop in paddy fields were evaluated in a field experiment conducted in randomized complete block design with 3 replications at rice research institute of iran (rasht) in 2008. in this experiment two factors, concentration of so...
