The effect of integrated use of mineral and organic N sources (farmyard manure, poultry manure, and Filter Cake) on yield and N uptake of wheat were assessed in biennial field experiment carried out on silty clay loam soil in Nuclear Institute for Food and Agriculture, Tarnab, Peshawar Pakistan during 2005-07. Combined dose of N provided from all sources was applied @120 kg ha. There were 17 tr...

The growing awareness on the multiple environmental impacts of livestock production has risen the necessity to widen the definition of efficiency to a multidimensional eco-efficiency concept. Our paper suggests a combined approach of a whole-farm agronomic model and frontier efficiency method to explore deeply the determinants of eco-efficiency. The whole-farm model used, GAMEDE, is randomly pa...

abstract in order to investigate the effect of irrigation and nitrogen fertilizer, on yield peanut plant, with furrow method of irrigation and water use efficiency (wue) in management to create a proper and better production, split plot experiment was over taken as in complete randomize blocks with three replications and main plot with 6, 12 and 18 day interval irrigation and no irrigation and ...

The field experiment was conducted in 2018 and 2019 cropping season to determine the effects of urea stable on nitrogen use efficiency maize performance highland Nitisol Midakegn Toke Kutaye districts. laid out randomized complete block design with three replications. Nine treatments different application times used. Application rate from were significantly (P < 0.05) influenced mean plant h...

Sustainable food production depends critically on the development of crop genotypes that exhibit high yield under reduced nutrient inputs. Rooting traits have been widely advocated as being able to influence optimal plant performance, while breeding-based improvements in yield of spring barley suggest that this species is a good model crop. To date, however, molecular genetics knowledge has not...

In this work, Chlorella sp. (UM6151) was selected to treat meat processing wastewater for nutrient removal and biomass production. To balance the nutrient profile and improve biomass yield at low cost, an innovative algae cultivation model based on wastewater mixing was developed. The result showed that biomass yield (0.675-1.538 g/L) of algae grown on mixed wastewater was much higher than that...

Soil water, salinity and nitrogen content are three major factors affecting crop production in arid and semi-arid areas. This study was performed in two years of 2009 and 2010 in a semi-arid area in order to investigate the effects of irrigation water quantity (as main plot), quality (saline water, as sub-plot), nitrogen fertilizer (as sub-sub plot) and their interactions on growth and yiel...

Plant-microbe interactions in the rhizosphere are the determinants of plant health, productivity and soil fertility. Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) are bacteria that can enhance plant growth and protect plants from disease and abiotic stresses through a wide variety of mechanisms; those that establish close associations with plants, such as the endophytes, could be more successful in pl...

In wheat production, improving resource utilization and grain yield is the goal researcher have been pursuing. This study aimed to investigate if a regulated nitrogen (N) selenium (Se) fertilizer management could increase N use efficiency (NUE). reports effects of three application levels (N0: 0 kg ha−1, N1: 180 N2: 270 ha−1) combination Se (Se0: g Se1: 450 Se2: 900 on metabolism, NUE in 2020–2...
