Effects of NPK 15:15:15 compound fertilizer and planting season on flowering and sex expression of pumpkin were analyzed at the Teaching and Research Farm, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria in year 2010. Results deciphered that day to 50% flowering, number of male and female flowers responded to season than fertilizer rates. Late season planting reached 50% flowering 5 days earlier t...

An assessment of the nitrogen fertilization efficiency should not only include quantitativeand qualitative yield changes, but also an analysis of formation some indicators such as: Nharvest index (NHI), N use efficiency (NUE), N utilization efficiency (NUtE), N agronomicefficiency (NAE), N physiological efficiency (NPE) and N apparent recovery fraction (NRF).The objective of the study was the e...

An experiment was conducted at the research farm of Crop Physiology and Ecology Department, Hajee Mohammad Danesh Science and Technology University, Dinajpur, Bangladesh, during November 2013 to April 2014 to determine the growth and yield performance of four varieties of black cumin (Exotic variety, BARI kalozira-1, Faridpur local and Natore local) as influenced by three levels of fertilizers ...

The excessive application of synthetic fertilizers can result in severe environmental risks, while composting green and fresh feedstocks provide slow-release nutrients. Therefore, the aim current investigation was to study effects eight individual combination treatments azolla compost NPK (control = no fertilizer compost; 100% full recommended dose as follows: 165 kg N ha?1, 37 P2O5 ha?1 50 K2O...

in order to study the effect of organic fertilizers application on increasing nitrogen efficiency and also quantitative and qualitative characteristics of sugar beet, a series of experiments were performed for two years (2008 and 2009) using three amino acid containing organic fertilizers at motahari research station of sugar beet seed institute (sbsi), karaj, iran. four rates of organic fertil...

to evaluate the effect of time and level of nitrogen application on quantity and quality of two carrot varieties, an experiment was carried out in the framework of a 4×3×2 factorial and based upon a randomized complete block design of three replications. the levels of 25, 50, 75 and 100 kg / ha of nitrogen fertilizer were investigated within 3 applied times, namely: simultaneous with bed prepar...

field experiments were conducted at the rice research institute (mazandaran province) using randomized complete block designs in two fields of different levels of organic carbon (low and medium) during two cropping years. the treatments were repeated in three replicates and while seven nitrogen levels (urea-n input) 0, 23, 46, 69, 92, 115 and 138 kg n per ha employed. results indicated that opt...

tuberose (polianthes tuberosa l.) is one of the most important cut flowers in tropical and subtropical areas. this flower has forth order in cut flower and second order in bulbous plants production in iran. plant spacing and nitrogen necessity are the most important factors for tuberose quality and quantity. in this study, field experiment carried out as factorial design in randomized complete ...
