In order to evaluate the interaction effects of nitrogen and organic matter on growth and yield of dryland wheat, an experiment was conducted at the research station of the College of Agriculture, Shiraz University at Bajgah in 2005 and 2006. The experimental design was split plot in which three levels of nitrogen (0, 40, and 80 kg N ha -1) were main factors and additive organic matters includi...

  Abstract   Background: Today, vermicompost production process as one of the very good procedures in terms of economic,health, and environmental sustainability to stabilize the organic waste is discussed. The aim of this study is vermicompost production from urban waste by earthworm (Eisenia Fetida) in Household-scale.   Methods: In this experimental study, plastic tank of vermicompost product...

The potential of Jiroft region has resulted in progressive development of greenhouse culture. In sustainable agricultural systems, organic manures have special role in increasing yield and soil fertility. To investigate the quantitative and qualitative responses of greenhouse cucumber to sources and levels of organic manures and their effect on some soil properties in Jiroft region, a factorial...

In order to investigate the cumulative effect of three-year application of municipal solid waste compost (C) and the compost accompanied with chemical fertilizer (CF) on the concentrations of some heavy metals in various organs of rice plant, a field experiment with completely randomized design in three replications was performed in 2009. Treatments were as follows: Control (without C and CF), ...
