The effect of twelve different rates of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers on growth and yield of maize (Zea mays L.) in southern Nigeria was evaluated between June and October, 2007. The results of the study showed that application of 120kgN/ha + 0kgP/ha and 60kgN/ha + 40kgP/ha significantly increased the growth of maize than other treatments. The application rate of 120kgN/ha +40kgP/ha signi...

abstract nitrogen is a key nutrient in plant growth and it is necessary for amino acid synthesis. sulfur has very important role in the biosynthesis of the alliums flavor and pungency precursors and potassium improve crop yield and quality. in order to study the effect of ammonium nitrate and potassium sulfate on concentration some of the mineral elements in onion (allium cepa l. azar shahr cv....

Despite the increasing rate of nanoparticles (NPS) production and their application in agriculture, few studies have focused on their effect on plant growth. So, the present research was conducted in laboratory and greenhouse conditions. First, superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONS) with a humic acid coating (Fe3O4/HA) were synthesized in laboratory...

in order to study the influence of municipal solid waste compost and nitrogen fertilizer on grain and forage yield of sweet corn an experiment was conducted at marvdasht during 2009. the experiment was arranged in split plots based on randomized complete block design with two factors and three replications. main plot included 5 levels of nitrogen fertilizer (100, 150, 200, 250, 300 kg n ha-1) a...

nitrogen is one of the most limiting nutrients for cereal production in many parts of iran. the effects of crop residue incorporation [0 (control), 25 and 50% of wheat (triticum aestivum l.)] and nitrogen (n) levels (0, 150, and 300 kg ha-1) on corn (zea mays l.) grain yield and nitrogen use efficiency were investigated at agricultural research station, shiraz university, shiraz, iran for two y...

In two species of lobster, application of the biogenic amine, histamine (HA), to the soma of olfactory receptor cells suppressed both spontaneous and odour-evoked activity, as shown by electrophysiological recording from single cells. The action of HA was graded, reversible, specific to HA, and had a threshold between 0.1 and 1 mumol l-1. HA increased the conductance of the membrane, primarily ...

to determine the coefficients of c1 and c in mitscherlich-bray equation, critical level and fertilizer recommendation for potassium (k) as by mitscherlich-bray (mb) equation, an experiment in a randomized complete block design of 5 treatments and 3 replications was carried out in 12 irrigated wheat (triticum aestivum l.) fields in sarpol-e-zohab region during the 2007-08 growing season. the tre...

The present study was carried out to investigate biochemical responses of marigold (Calendula officinalis L.) to Bio-organic fertilizers. Effects of co-inoculation of two plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) (Azotobacter sp.145PI and Azospirillum sp.AC49I), humic acid (HA) (10 kg ha−1), vermicompost (VC) (7 T ha−1) and combinations of these treatments were evaluated in two marigold culti...
