A study was done to determine the macroand micronutrient requirements of young northern highbush blueberry plants (Vaccinium corymbosum L. ‘Bluecrop’) during the first 2 years of establishment and to examine how these requirements were affected by the amount of nitrogen (N) fertilizer applied. The plants were spaced 1.2 · 3.0 m apart and fertilized with 0, 50, or 100 kg ha of N, 35 kg ha of pho...

Cover crop benefits include nitrogen accumulation and retention, weed suppression, organic matter maintenance, and reduced erosion. Organic farmers need region-specific information on winter cover crop performance to effectively integrate cover crops into their crop rotations. Our research objective was to compare cover crop seeding mixtures, planting dates, and termination dates on performance...

in order to study the effects of integrated application of bio-fertilizer and chemical fertilizers on yield and yield components of corn, an experiment was conducted in 2008 in dezful city, (khoozestan province) in a factorial arrangement based on complete randomized block design with four replications. treatments were integrated application of biological and chemical fertilizers in four levels...

A field experiment was conducted for two years during 2019 - 21 at Field No.36 of Eastern block farm, Department Agronomy, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore to identify the suitable plant spacing and nutrient levels getting higher fodder yield economics in maize pre-release culture TNFM 131-9. The laid out split plot design with three replications. treatments consisted four viz., 3...

in order to investigate the effects of vermicompost and chemical fertilizers on growth characteristics, yield and yield components of marshmallow (altheaeofficinalis l.), a field experiment was conducted as factorial layout based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran, during growing season of 2012. experimen...

The affinity towards water of a selection of well-defined, nanostructured hydroxyapatite (HA) samples was investigated by H(2)O vapour adsorption microcalorimetry and infrared (IR) spectroscopy. A large hydrophilicity of all investigated materials was confirmed. The surface features of hydrated HA were investigated on the as-synthesized samples pre-treated in mild conditions at T=303 K, whereas...

The demand of bone graft materials has been increasing. Among various origins of bone graft materials, natural coral composed of up to 99% calcium carbonate was chosen and converted into hydroxyapatite (HA); silicon was then substituted into the HA. Then, the Si-HA was mixed with β-tricalcium phosphate (TCP) in the ratios 100:0 (S100T0), 70:30 (S70T30), 60:40 (S60T40), and 50:50 (S50T50). The m...
