The effects of foliar absorbed nutrients on root processes related to assimilation of nitrogen under presence or absence of molybdenum (Mo) were studied. Pea plants (Pisum sativum L.), var. Avola were grown until the 15th day in a glasshouse on liquid nutrient solution both without and with Mo added to the media. Plants were inoculated with bacterial suspension of Rhizobuium leguminosarum bv. V...

certainly not a new concept to the citrus industry. For more than five decades, foliar fertilization of citrus has been recommended to correct zinc, manganese, boron, copper and magnesium deficiencies. It is now common knowledge in agriculture that properly nourished crops may tolerate insect pests and diseases. Traditionally, citrus growers try to achieve optimum nutrition through direct soil ...

Although titanium (Ti) is not considered a nutrient, researches demonstrate that Ti leaf application can provide beneficial effects on plants growth. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence foliar applications levels metabolism, nutrient uptake and yield potato crop, Agate cultivar. experiment conducted in randomized complete block design with five treatments four replications...

J. Entomol. Sci. 25(3): 439-449 (July 1990) ABSTRACT There is a paucity of information that describes the relationship between the suite of nutrient elements in tree foliage and associated arthropod assemblages. Foliage from chestnut oak (Quercus prinus), hickories (Carya spp.), yellow poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), red maple (Acer rubrum), and flowering dogwood (Cornus florida) and associat...

an experiment with randomized complete block design with 3 replications was carried out in the rice research institute of iran, rasht, during 2008 to study the effect of supplement foliar application of nitrogen (5% n) and potassium (3% k2o) at different growth stages (maximum tillering stage, booting stage, and both of them) on grain quality and nitrogen efficiency of hybrid rice, c.v. bahar-1...

Iron (Fe) deficiency in humans, particularly pregnant women and children, is caused by inadequate dietary Fe intake a global nutritional problem. Foliar fertilization cost-effective agronomic approach to increase bioavailability the human diet. We evaluated effects of different formulations (Fe-citrate, Fe-EDTA, FePO4, nano-Fe oxide, humic acid (HA) with without Fe) on growth, yield, accumulati...

There seems to be conflicting information about foliar fertilizers and their timing of application to cotton. Much of the confusion lies in the variety of fertilizer products available. A cotton fanner now has a choice of applying foliar fertilizers (according to fertilizer labels) beginning at the first true leaf stage and continuing until defoliation. This newsletter will focus on available i...
