crop rotation affect on crop nitrogen uptake and nitrogen use efficiency (nue). crop rotations with high nue decrease energy use and increase level of sustainability in agro ecosystems. the objectives of this research were to determine the suitable double cropping system for enhancing nue and evaluate the effects of crop rotation, n fertilizer rate and return of crop residue on nue. this study ...

The present study aimed at investigating the effect of different levels of nitrogen on yield and yield components of bread and durum wheat. To this end the experiment was conducted in 2010-2011 in south west of Iran as split plots based on randomized complete block design with three replications. Main plot included four levels of nitrogen 60, 120, 180, 240 kg.ha-1 and the sub plot included four...

A field experiment was conducted during the rainy season of 2008 and 2009 to use guttation fluid as a physiological marker for the screening of more nitrogen efficient rice genotypes on the basis of relationship between Guttation Fluid (GF) oozed by leaf tip and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), grain yield (GY) and biological yield (BY) amongst five rice (KRH-2hybrid, Kasturiaromatic, Krishna Ham...

Global crop yields are limited by water and nutrient availability. Soil mulching (with plastic or straw) reduces evaporation, modifies soil temperature and thereby affects crop yields. Reported effects of mulching are sometimes contradictory, likely due to differences in climatic conditions, soil characteristics, crop species, and also water and nitrogen (N) input levels. Here we report on a me...

Biological nitrogen removal from wastewater is widely used all over the world on account of high efficiency and relatively low cost. However, not optimized when organic matter has inadequate effect for lack a sufficient carbon source in influent. Although addition an external (e.g., methanol acetic acid) could solve insufficient problem, it raises operating cost treatment plants (WWTPs). On oth...

This study is to test the effects of Bt gene introduction on the foliar water/nitrogen use efficiency in cotton. We measured leaf stomatal conductance, photosynthetic rate, and transpiration rate under light saturation condition at different stages of a conventional cultivar (zhongmian no. 16) and its counterpart Bt cultivar (zhongmian no. 30) that were cultured on three levels of fertilization...

in order to investigate effect of application of nitroxin and nitrogen chemical fertilizer on yield and yield components, split plot experiment on the basis of randomized complete block design with four replications was conducted. four levels of nitrogen fertilizer (n1: 100% chemical fertilizer, n2: 75% chemical fertilizer + 100% biological fertilizer, n3: 50% chemical fertilizer + 100% biologi...

Although herbs have been important and attractive since long time ago, they have gained such popularity due to the adverse side effects of chemical medicines that nowadays their cultivation has become among significant agricultural programs of most developed countries. In order to study the effects of chemical, organic, and biological fertilizers on Medicinal Chamomile yield and its components,...

in many crops, incorrect management of nitrogen and water is one of the most important factors in the resources productivity such as water and nitrogen. in order to evaluate the effects of different nitrogen levels (zero, 50, 100 and 150 kg ha-1) and irrigation application rates (100, 75 and 50% of water requirement per species) on corn, sesame and sugar beet, three separate experiments was con...

in order to study the effects of nitrogen and drought stress on yield, yield components and seed quality of corn (hybrid single cross 704) a field experiment was conducted at agricultural research station in islamabad gharb in 2009. experiment design was split plots based on randomized complete block design with three replications. main plots included full irrigation requirement, 80 percent and...
