Nitrogen (N) fertilizer is a critical element that affects rice yield. However, its effects on dry matter accumulation (DMA), N accumulation, and their physiological mechanisms with grain yield utilization efficiency still lack in-depth study. Three large-scale japonica varieties—Jinxiangyu 1, Nanjing 46, Huaidao 5—were used in two field experiments varying application rates to examine efficien...

We aimed to optimize field border length in the Huang-Huai-Hai Plain of China (HPC) reduce soil inorganic nitrogen residues and increase absorption utilization by wheat plants using a traditional irrigation system. In two-year experiment (2017–2019) conducted HPC, four lengths were tested: 20 m (L20), 30 (L30), 40 (L40), 50 (L50). Supplementary was implemented during jointing anthesis stages, c...

We previously showed that the selective accumulation of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) in photosynthetically maturing maize (Zea mays L.) leaf cells induced by nitrate supply to nitrogen-starved plants was primarily a consequence of the level of its mRNA (B Sugiharto, K Miyata, H Nakamoto, H Sasakawa, T Sugiyama [1990] Plant Physiol 92: 963-969). To determine the specificity of inorgani...

Abstract We measured water quality monthly for 22 years in entering, within, and exiting a 65 km 2 shallow polymictic eutrophic freshwater lake the northern Gulf of Mexico. Fertilizer use watershed is dominate source phosphorous (P) going into controls lake’s P concentrations, but nitrogen (N) fertilizer was not related to total concentration lake. Half particulate entering trapped within it th...

extinction coefficient (k) is an important index that shows the rate of light decrease in canopy. net biomass accumulation is linearly related to cummulative light interception. the slope of this relationship is termed radiation use efficiency. a split plot experiment within randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted in april 2001 in sugar beet research station in ka...

crop simulation models are increasingly used in agriculture. these models help in saving time and expenses. the objective of this study was to evaluate cropsyst model in predicting development, growth and yield of wheat cultivars from golestan province. to do this, experimental data from different experiments were gathered for kohdasht, shiroodi, tajan and zagros. model performance in simulatin...

It has been hypothesized that increasing atmospheric CO(2) concentration enhances accumulation of carbon in fine roots, thereby altering soil carbon dynamics and nutrient cycling. To evaluate possible changes to belowground pools of carbon and nitrogen in response to elevated CO(2), an early and a late successional species of pine (Pinus taeda L. and Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex Laws, respectively...
