this study was conducted under cold temperate climate condition in khorasan during 2006-2008 growing seasons to determine the suitable wheat-based double cropping systems for increase nitrogen agronomic efficiency. a randomized complete block design in split-split plot arrangement with three replicates was used. main plots were crop rotation with five different rotations including wheat:wheat, ...

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of fertilizer application on heterotrophic soil respiration (Rh) in soil respiration (Rs) components in red pine stands. Two types of fertilizer (N3P4K1 = 113:150:37 kg·ha−1·year−1; P4K1 = 150:37 kg·ha−1·year−1) were applied manually on the forest floor for two years. Rs and Rh rates were monitored from April 2011 to March 2013. Mean Rs and Rh ra...

Recent studies report the effect of biofield treatment on changes in structural characteristics of organic and inorganic matter, on cancer cells in vitro and on overall plant development. This study tested the impact of the same treatment applied to lettuce and tomato seeds and transplants (Lactuca sativa var. capitata and Lycopersiconesculentum var. Roma) in commercial plantings with and witho...

in order to evaluate different sources and rates of nitrogen on dry matter yield, concentration and uptake of primary macronutrients (nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium) in forage sorghum (hybrid of speedfeed), three levels of nitrogen (80, 160 and 240 kg n ha-1) from three n sources (urea fertilizer, cattle manure and equal combination of urea fertilizer + cattle manure) and the control (no f...

The improved cleanup of marine oil spills by stimulating biodegradation through the use of a slow-release fertilizer is reported. A paraffin-supported fertilizer containing MgNH4PO4 as active ingredient was developed and evaluated in laboratory and field experiments using quantitative infrared spectrometry and chromatographic techniques. The biodegradation of Sarir crude oil in the sea was cons...

in order to evaluate the effects of wastewater irrigation on sugar content and morphological traits of sugar beet (beta vulgaris l.), an experiment was conducted in split plot design based on randomized complete block design with three replications at research station in shahrekord university in 2013. the treatments consisted of irrigation with urban wastewater at 2-4 and 8-12 leaf stages, and ...

Background and Aim: Iron oxide nanoparticles are used in fields related to nanotechnology including ecology, magnetic storage, imaging and medicinal purposes. Iron nanoparticles produce reactive oxygen species (Ros). These materials are able to cross the placenta. The aim of this study was to investigate toxic effect of iron oxide nanoparticles on fetal lung in mice. <br ...

The role of ferritin in fibrogenesis of liver parenchyma in patients with alcoholic liver disease has been investigated in previous studies. Ferritin was shown to be an indirect marker of ferum deposition in liver parenchyma in alcohol liver disease. The aim of the present study was to examine the role of nitric oxide (NO) in the pathogenesis of alcoholic liver disease as well as the influence ...
