The experiment was planned to investigate the tractor mounted N-sensor (Make Yara International) to predict nitrogen (N) for wheat crop under different nitrogen levels. It was observed that, for tractor mounted N-sensor, spectrometers can scan about 32% of total area of crop under consideration. An algorithm was developed using a linear relationship between sensor sufficiency index (SIsensor) a...

plant growth regulators (pgrs) are widely used for lodging control in winter wheat (triticum aestivum l.) grown at high n rates. although the introduction of semi-dwarf wheat cultivars had largely solved the problem of lodging, evidence was already accumu-lating that the timely application of a growth retardant such as chlormequat (ccc) or ethephon could increase the grain yield of wheat, by th...

in this study the filtration rate of nitrogen and phosphorus components by swan mussel anodonta cygnea in a closed system was investigated. the system was built of a 100 liters main tank and 4 recipients of 2.5 liters each (one of these as control) and one tank for returning of water. three treatments of different concentrations of nitrogen (80, 100 and 200 mg/l) and of phosphorus (20, 40 and 6...

this study was carried out in order to evaluate the changes of nitrogen, phosphor and potassium uptake by wheat and remaining of them in soil under foliar application of leonardite and foliar application of n and k. the experiment was conducted in gorgan university of agricultural sciences and natural resources during 2013- 2014. the experiment was laid out a using split-plot arrangement based ...

application of organic fertilizers increases quality and yields in the sustainable crop production and considerably replaces or reduces chemical fertilizers. in order to study the effects of different manure and vermicompost rates on yield and essential oil contents of dragonhead, an experiment was conducted as a randomized complete blocks design with eight treatments and three replications in ...

Dynamics of cropland soil organic carbon (SOC) in response to different management practices and environmental conditions across North China Plain (NCP) were studied using a modeling approach. We identified the key variables driving SOC changes at a high spatial resolution (10 km × 10 km) and long time scale (90 years). The model used future climatic data from the FGOALS model based on four fut...
