Two cultivars each of four warm-season grass species under three N fertilizer treatments and three harvesting regimes were studied to determine the effect of nitrogen fertilizer and harvest date on forage yield. Research was conducted in eastern Nebraska on an alluvial soil. The eight grasses studied were 'Blaze' and 'PM-K-129' little bluestem [Schizachyrium scoparium (Michx.) Nash], 'Cave-in-R...

Grain (pulse) legumes could provide high nitrogen (N), late summer forage for stocker cattle in the southern Great Plains (SGP). This study evaluated the forage yield and nutritive value of tropical annual legumes that were relatively uncommon in the SGP, at a site (35°40' N, 98°00' W) in central Oklahoma. Included were cultivars of pigeon pea ([Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.], cv. GA-2), guar ([Cy...

this research was conducted to evaluate the effect of different nitrogen and zinc combination on grain yield and its component in maize by path analysis. this experiment was carried out through split plot based on rcbd, varieties as main plot and fertilizers as sub plot, with three replication at badjgah (experimental farm of shiraz university). nitrogen fertilizer in (120,260 and 400 kg/ha) an...

The cost-effectiveness of four production systems of a short-straw form of winter triticale (cv. Alekto) with different levels of nitrogen fertilization and fungicide treatment was determined. Based on the current prices of means of production, the total cost of winter triticale production was estimated at PLN 2200-2600, and direct costs accounted for 60-65% of total costs. Regardless of the ap...

The documentation process is very important for identifying yield constraint factors and yield gap. For this purpose, all managing practices were recorded by monitoring of paddy rice fields in Sari region, Iran from 2015 to 2016. Field identifications were undertaken in such a way that they included all the main production procedures with variations in management viewpoints. The results reveale...

in order to evaluate quantity and quality hairy vetch (vicia villosa l.) yield in the pure and mixed cropping with barley (hordeum vulgare l.) and triticale (triticosecale) the experiment was conducted at agricultural research station (khodabande) under dryland conditions during 2006 -2008. field experiments were arranged in a randomized complete blocks design with 9 treatments in four replicat...

In order to study on effect of plant density and nitrogen on yield and yield components of Visia faba (faba bean), the experimental design was implemented by randomized complete block with three replications at 2010- 2011 in Lahijan. The experimental factors were three plant density (25×25 cm, 35×35 cm and 45×45 cm) and four nitrogen fertilizer (0, 20, 40, 60 kg ha-1). In this experiment, featu...

A hydroponic system was developed and used for purification of an anaerobically treated dairy manure and production of forage crops. The effect of light duration, seeding rate and wastewater application rate on the crop yield and pollution potential reduction were studied. The results indicated that a wheat forage crop can be produced in 21 days from germination to harvest in this system and re...

Dynamics of cropland soil organic carbon (SOC) in response to different management practices and environmental conditions across North China Plain (NCP) were studied using a modeling approach. We identified the key variables driving SOC changes at a high spatial resolution (10 km × 10 km) and long time scale (90 years). The model used future climatic data from the FGOALS model based on four fut...
