in order to evaluate the response of quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the isabgol (plantago ovata frosk.) medicinal plant to separate and combined application of urea and biofertilizer an experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design at the research farm of shahrekord university in 2011. the experimental treatments consisted of control (no urea and biological fer...

to determine rice yield loss resulting from blast disease (magnaporthe grisea) at the corp's different growth stages, a field experiment was conducted at the rice research institute of iran, rasht. rice local cultivar hashemi was transplanted to 3×4m plots for the experimental treatments (time of disease evaluation) each treatment was replicated 4 times. under natural infection conditions,...

Slow-release fertilizers are gaining acceptance to increase fertilizer use efficiency and reduce environmental impact. The release of nitrogen from methylene urea, a common slow release N fertilizer, is controlled by microbial decomposition. An enzyme hydrolyzing slowrelease nitrogen fertilizer, methylene urea, was purified from Rhizobium radiobacter (Agrobacterium tumefaciens) to homogeneity u...

Agricultural practices such as fertilization considerably influence soil greenhouse gas fluxes. However, the effects of on gases fluxes remain unclear in tea when nitrogen is low. In present study, CO2 and CH4 under various treatments were investigated during a 50-day period. The experiment consisted five treatments: no fertilizer (CK), single (urea, N), oilseed rape cake (R), + (2:1, NR1), (1:...

Abstract Increasing rates of nitrogen (N) conventional fertilizer have led to increasing risks N losses the atmosphere, mainly as ammonia (NH 3 ) and nitrous oxide (N 2 O). The aim this study was evaluate effect foliar N-based nanoformulations on dynamics O NH emissions from grasslands. Six treatments (50 kg ha −1 plus a control ( n = 4) were tested completely randomized design: granular urea (...

to study the effect of vermicompost and urea and iron sulfate fertilizers on the growth characteristics and yield of sunflower seed (helianthus annuus l.) an pediment was conducted in darreh gaz located in khorasan razavi province in 2012. factorial experiment in a randomized complete block design with three factors and three repetition. in this experiment three levels of urea (50; 150 and 250 ...

introduction given the importance of nitrogen for improving the quantitative and qualitative yield of crops (rodrigues et al., 2006) and the need for application of chemical fertilizers in intensive agriculture to get the maximum production, nitrogen supply in adequate amounts by ecologically avowed resources is known as one of the main challenges during transition from conventional to organic ...

the nutritional value of cereal straw can be increased using urea treatments as a source of ammonia. the conventional urea treatment process for cereal straw is a laborious and time-consuming task. it is essential to facilitate or eliminate part of the procedure with the use of machinery. this study examines the mechanical urea treatment of wheat straw and compares chemical components and diges...
