Intensive management is crucial for optimizing hardwood plantation success, and nitrogen (N) nutrition management is one of the most important practices in intensive management. Because management of short-rotation woody crop plantations is a mixture of row-crop agriculture and plantation forestry, we tested the usefulness of an agronomic budget modified for deciduous perennial trees for estima...

Introduction ield experience and research demonstrate that manure nutrients can be readily substituted for commercial fertilizer. Fertilizer needs depend on soil test levels. Substituting manure at a lower cost than commercial fertilizer can result in signifi cant savings if relatively uniform application and distribution can be maintained. The less nutrient-dense manure requires more hauling o...

introduction: nitrogen (n) is one of the most important growth-limiting nutrients for dryland wheat. mineral nitrogen or ammonium (nh4+) and nitrate (no3−) are two common forms of inorganic nitrogen that can serve as limiting factors for plant growth. nitrogen fertilization in dryland area can increase the use of soil moisture, and improve wheat yields to some extent. many researchers have been...

abstract efficient use and management of organic matter are important aspects of sustainable agricultural. organic matter is relatively low in majority of soils in iran, and continuous use of n fertilizer would create environmental hazards. therefore, the combined use of n fertilizer and organic wastes is an effective strategy. the purpose of this study was investigating of residual effects of ...

Nitrogen deficiency can seriously reduce yield, while over-fertilization can result problems such as excess nutrient runoff and groundwater pollution. Hence, efficient methods for assessing crop nitrogen status are needed to enable more optimal fertilizer management. The ability to quantify the different nitrogen application rates by crops using digital images taken from an unmanned aerial vehi...

in this research for study the effects of nitrogen fertilizer on yield and yield components of current rice cultivars was an experiment as factorial in rcbd with three replications where conducted during 2009 year in two locations (rice research institute, rasht, and rudsar, east of guilan). factors were cultivars (khazar, ali kazemi and hashemi), and nitrogen fertilizer levels (0, 30, 60, and ...

The effect that application of nitrogen-phosphorus (NP) rates exerts on some parameters of nitrogen metabolism and on yield in aubergine plants (eggplant, Solanummelongena cv. Bonica) was studied. All plants were grown under controlled conditions in an experimental greenhouse. The treatments consisted of the combination of three rates of N in the form of KNO3 (N1: 15 g m-2, N2: 22.5 g m,-2 and ...

This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of four nitrogen treatments (50, 100, 150 and 200 Kg urea / ha) on biomass, crude protein, soluble carbohydrates and crude fiber contents in three fodders (corn, sweet sorghum and sweet sorghum bagasse) at the filed experimental station. The results showed the effects of nitrogen treatments and fodders on the above measurements were significant...

Canola sensitivity to delayed sowing date should be managed in such a way that the observance of crop rotation with less reduced in seed yield. The research was conducted to evaluate the yield variation of Hyola401 hybrid, affected by sowing date and nitrogen fertilizer treatments. In this study, the effect of planting date and different levels of nitrogen fertilizers on effective characteristi...

Nitrogen (N) is the most limiting nutrient in cereal production, yet its use efficiency remains very low at only 35%. Nutrient (NUE) crucial for increasing crop yield and quality while reducing fertilizer inputs minimizing environmental damage. Optimum N rates that maximize without NUE have been found to vary from location location. This field study assessed effect of on spring wheat (Triticum ...
