milk performance (protein and fat content) and milk fatty acids (fa) profile of dairy cows under supplementation with two sources of concentrate, oilseeds (c, cottonseed) at two levels, low (5kg dm/cow/day) and high (7 kg dm/cow/day), and cereal grains (b, barley) at high rate (7 kg dm/cow/day), were studied in three herds (n=36) of spring calving holstein-friesian dairy cows (200 days in milk)...

Objective: In this study investigated effects of different amounts of pelleted manure with urea and micro elements on yield and seed quality of medicinal plants, pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo var. styriaca). Methods: The animal manure and urea as pellet with four levels (150 Kg urea, 50 Kg urea + 3.5 ton animal manure, 100 (Kg) urea+ 1.5 ton animal manure and 150 (Kg) urea+1.5 ton animal man...

date palm tree reaction to fertilizer is very slow, due to the trunk nutrients. this fact leads to farmer unwillingness to feed the trees. however, balance fertilizing improves vegetative growth and reduce the period for flowering. this study aimed to assess the effects of manure, chemical and organic sulfur on vegetative characteristics of ‘piarom’ date palm offshoot in a randomized complete b...

The growing number of biogas plants in Europe has resulted in increased production of nutrient-rich digestate, which has potential as fertiliser on arable land. Many different organic materials can be degraded in the anaerobic digestion process, with most macronutrients and micronutrients retained in the digestate. Depending on the ingoing organic substrate and management of the biogas process,...

In this study, we investigated the effects of organic waste and moisture superabsorbent on the amount of available water and delay in moisture equivalent of permanent wilting point (PWP) in soil. In the first phase (soil incubation phase), 12 treatments were studied in a completely randomized design at the Soil Science Laboratory of Science and Research Branch, Tehran. The treatments c...

in order to evaluate the effect of different crop management practices on corn (zea mays l.) net primary productivity (npp) and relative carbon allocation coefficients, a field experiment was conducted based on a completely randomized block design with four replications in the agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran during two growing season 2008-2009 and 2009-2010. ...

progressive usage of medicinal plants has necessitated their mass production using the minimum amounts of chemical inputs. to find out the effects of urea and pelleted animal manure and some micronutrients on yield and its components in pumpkin, a split plot experiment based on rcbd with three replicates was conducted at the research farm of abouraihan campus, university of tehran in 2011. the ...
