in order to study the role of photosynthetic tissues on grain filling and remobilization of stem reserves under terminal drought, a pot experiment as semi-field was conducted as two-factor factorial in complete randomized design with three replicates at research farm of agriculture college of vali – e – asr university of rafsanjan during january to june 2012 . first factor was source strength r...

Abstract Information on nitrogen economy of grain legumes during seed filling is critical for their sustainable cultivation in rainfed agroecosystems, but a comparable assessment different under the same growth conditions lacking. The purpose this study was to examine species, cultivar and seasonal effects nodulation accumulation, remobilization, utilization. Five [common vetch ( Vicia sativa L...

Nitrogen (N) application management needs to be refined for low yielding environments under dryland conditions. This 3-yr study examined nitrogen fertilization management effects on corn (Zea mays L.) plant characteristics and grain yield in rain fed environment under conventional tillage system. Nitrogen fertilization management consisted of two timing methods of N application [all N at planti...

The efficient use of fertilizer nitrogen (N) is crucial to sustainable human nutrition. All crops receive significant amounts of additional N in temperate environments, through fixation or fertilizer use. This paper reviews progress towards the efficient use of fertilizer N by winter wheat (Triticum aesitivum L.) and spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) in the UK, acknowledging that on-farm this ...

in order to evaluate the effect of increasing soil soluble phosphorus (p) and its effect on nitrogen (n) and p uptake, p uptake efficiency and p harvest index of black seed (nigella sativa l.) in a calcareous soil; a field experiment was conducted as factorial layout based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at research station, faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi univers...

in order to study the effects of wild mustard density on grain yield and yield components of canola cv. hyola 401 under different rates of nitrogen fertilizer, a field experiment was conducted in 2011-2012. the layout was split-plot in a completely randomized block design and three replications. main-plots included four levels of nitrogen (0, 70, 140 and 210 kg ha-1) and sub-plots consisted of ...
