Nitrogen-15 ( N)-labeled biogas slurry (digested anaerobic organic residues (DAOR)) and chemical 15 fertilizer (CF) were applied to soil with low fertility cropped with rice. The N dilution method was used to 15 estimate the N uptake and recovery; potted soil was labeled with 1.0 atom % excess [ N] ammonium chloride 15 NH Cl. Certain select soil characteristics were also measured in soil amende...

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...

A well-managed chemical nitrogen (N) fertilization practice combined with treated swine slurry (TSS) is necessary to improve sustainability and N use efficiency in rice farming. However, little is known about the fate of N derived from chemical N fertilizer with and without TSS in paddy soil-plant systems. The objectives of this study were (1) to estimate the contribution of applied N fertilize...

this research set out to evaluate the effect of combined biological and chemical nitrogen fertilizers on some corn hybrids. to this end an experiment was conducted as split plot on the basis of randomized complete block design with four replications. main plots were included: use of chemical and biological fertilizers in four levels: 100% chemical fertilizer, 75% chemical fertilizer + 100% bio-...

The long-term application of excessive chemical fertilizers has resulted in the degeneration of soil quality parameters such as soil microbial biomass, communities, and nutrient content, which in turn affects crop health, productivity, and soil sustainable productivity. The objective of this study was to develop a rapid and efficient solution for rehabilitating degraded cropland soils by precis...

BACKGROUND: Fertilizer management plays an important role for obtaining satisfactory yields and to increase crop productivity. Nitrogen is generally a limiting nutrient in crop production, and especially in sorghum, as it has been said to be the most responsive nutrient for its production. OBJECTIVES: Current study was conducted to assessment effect of urea fe...

introduction to achieve the higher economic yield of crop plants, supplying enough nutrients to plants is very important. moreover, nutrient uptakes by plants is influenced by the soil water contents. however, nowadays chemical fertilizer application is important agronomic factor that has significant effects on growth and quantity and quality of final yield, but traditional nutrient management ...

Agrotain has shown in previous studies on silt loam soils to be much less prone to ammonia volatilization loss and to result in higher rice-grain yields compared to urea when the flood cannot be applied immediately after nitrogen (N) fertilizer application. However, no research has been conducted to determine if Agrotain is superior to urea as an N source for rice grown on clay soils, which vol...

This study was carried out in order to evaluate the changes of Nitrogen, phosphor and potassium uptake by wheat and remaining of them in soil under foliar application of Leonardite and foliar application of N and K. The experiment was conducted in Gorgan University of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources during 2013- 2014. The experiment was laid out a using split-plot arrangement based ...

Soil physicochemical properties, soil microbial biomass and bacterial community structures in a rice-wheat cropping system subjected to different fertilizer regimes were investigated in two seasons (June and October). All fertilizer regimes increased the soil microbial biomass carbon and nitrogen. Both fertilizer regime and time had a significant effect on soil physicochemical properties and ba...
