The present study was undertaken to develop potassium management recommendations that maximize yield and post harvest quality of tomato. Studies were conducted at Faculty of Agriculture, Gomal University, Dera Ismail Khan, KPK, Pakistan during 2008-2009. A pot experiment was designed, which included six potassium fertilizer treatments (75, 150, 225, 300, 375, 450 Kg K2O ha ) with basal doses of...

Due to increasing scarcity of fresh water, use of unconventional water source (e.g., wastewater) in irrigation has now become important. However, inclusive information on the effects of wastewater on crop production and soil health is necessary for such intervention. This study was designed to evaluate these effects by demonstrating the contribution of municipal wastewater (hereafter called was...

The effect of potash biofertilizer and chemical fertilizer was studied on quantitative and qualitative traits of periwinkle in a factorial experiment based on a Randomized Complete Design with three replications, 48 experimental units, and two factors: (1) different methods of potash bio-fertilizer application at four levels of control (B0), seed inoculation (B1), root inoculation (B2) and seed...

Struvite is regarded as a promising phosphorus (P) fertilizer compared to commercial pristine mineral fertilizers. The aim of this study was determine the effect Phosgreen fertilizer, with struvite its source, on chlorophyll, potassium (K), and calcium (Ca) contents in lettuce grown peat superphosphate. carried out pot experiment different doses P fertilization. presents chlorophyll a, b, total...

With the passing of 2014 US farm bill, there is more interest in industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L. < 0.3% total tetrahydrocannabinol [THC]) grown for cannabinoid production. However, production recommendations that outline fertilizer requirements cannabidiol (CBD) do not exist. Our primary objective was to identify nitrogen (N) and potassium (K) rates maximizing biomass CBD yield. A secondary...

Beans require adequate amounts of all essential plant nutrients for optimum growth but only a few nutrients are documented to be needed for southern Idaho soils. These nutrients include phosphorus (P), nitrogen (N), zinc (Zn), potassium (K), sulfur (S), and to a much less extent B, Cu, Mn and Fe. University of Idaho Agricultural Experiment Station research as well as research from throughout th...

in order to study the effects of magnetic field, silver nano particles and micronutrient fertilizers on sugar beet, an experiment was conducted at razavi research and technology institute, mashhad, iran. experiment carried out with seven treatments based on randomized complete block design with three replications. treatments included (t1) magnetic field and silver nano particles + kemira fertil...

to study the effect of different fertilizing systems on macro and micro nutrients uptake by annual medic (medicago scutellata cv. robinson) an experiment was conducted under dry farming and irrigated conditions at two research stations (sararood dryland agricultural research institute and soil fertility research station in mahidasht) during 2009 growing season. the experimental treatments consi...
