In this study, ten different sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) cultivars registered in Türkiye were investigated for their sowing dates as a second crop the lowlands of Mardin province, 2018 and 2019. used; these Arslanbey, Boydak, Cumhuriyet-99, Hatipoğlu, Muganlı-57, Orhangazi-99, Osmanlı-99, Sarısu, Tan-99, Tanas. Four (June 5, June 15, 25, July 4) examined cultivars. agricultural parameters such ...

To use of organic fertilizer sources for increasing crops production on sustainable basis has become imperative because the cost of chemical fertilizers is high. An experiment was conducted during 2006 on two saltaffected soils of District Charsadda to evaluate the effect of different levels of single super phosphate (SSP) alone and in combination with humic acid (HA) on phosphorus availability...

Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is being evaluated as a bioenergy crop for the northern Great Plains. Field measurements of CO2, CH4, and N2O flux are needed to estimate the net greenhouse gas (GHG) balance of this biofeedstock. The study objective was to determine effects of recommended Nitrogen (N) fertilization (67 kg ha 1 of N applied) and unfertilized switchgrass on growing season soil-a...

Fertilizer is a powerful productivity-enhancing input, but SSA uses very little. Historical trends are abysmal (Figure 1). In 1970, SSA used <5kg/ha while other developing regions used >15 kg/ha. In the 25 years from 1970 to 1995 fertilizer consumption grew only .23 kg/ha/year. Current use is only 9 kg/ha, down from OBJECTIVES AND METHODS: The research highs of 11-12. This contrasts sharply wit...

With uncertainty in future irrigation water availability and regulations on nutrient application amounts, experimentally determined effects of “controllable” management strategies such as nitrogen (N), water, and their combination on crop water productivity (CWP, also known as crop water use efficiency) and actual evapotranspiration (ETa) are essential. The effects of various N application rate...

During 1996–2006, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry in Finland (MAFF), MTT Agrifood Research and the Finnish Geodetic Institute performed a joint remote sensing satellite research project. It evaluated the applicability of optical satellite (Landsat, SPOT) data for cereal yield estimations in the annual crop inventory program. Four Optical Vegetation Indices models (I: Infrared polynomia...

A series of experiments was carried out at Students Farm, Sindh Agriculture University, Tandojam to evaluate the effect of NPK, micronutrients and N-placement on the growth and yield of sunflower during 2005-2006. The sunflower cv. HO-1 was studied under 7 different NPK levels and placement methods (0-0-0 NPK kg ha, 6030-30 NPK kg ha (N as broadcast), 60-30-30 NPK kg ha (N as fertigation), 90-4...
