Organic matter (OM) and total N (N) are relatively low in majority of the calcareous soils in Iran, and continuous use of N fertilizer would impair the quality of surface and ground water and creates other environmental hazards. Therefore, the combined use of N fertilizer and organic wastes is important to partly supply plant N requirement, improve physico-chemical properties of soil and conser...

Abstract Introduction Characterization of physical and chemical soil criteria is a key step in understanding the source of spatial variability in the productivity across agricultural fields (21). Crop yield variability can be caused by many factors, including spatial variability of soil texture, crop management, soil physical and chemical properties and nutrient availability (45). Understandin...

Twenty-five surface samples of calcareous soils of Fars Province were used to study the distribution of different nitrogen (N) forms to determine the relationship between the N forms and soil charcteristics, and to obtain regression equations for prediction of N forms from soil characteristics. The forms determined were: soil total nitrogen NO3-N by phenol disulfunic acid NO3-N extractable by 2...
