Experiments were conducted to study the effect of inorganic, organic and combined inorganic + organic fertilizer and natural shade under Gliricidia on the growth and dry matter (DM) yield of the medicinal plant Solanum virginianum Schrad. The yield of total dry matter and of different plant parts were also studied in plants harvested at 70, 90 and 110 days after establishment. Application of co...

Currently the world is moving towards organic production of crops for the discovered and envisaged advantages. Despite this, farmers are faced with the challenges of the bulkiness of organic fertilizer to be used and further gains that could be accrued from it even if sacrifice of using it is made. To be quite sure of the appropriate fertilizer type to be used in improving quality as well as th...

A pot experiment was carried out on hybrid drumstick PKM 1 added with inorganic and organic fertilisers. Seeds of hybrid Drumstick PKM1 were sown in the plastic pots in glass house condition. Single inorganic fertilizer, phosphate solubiliser and bio organic fertilizer as well as in different combinations were applied to the pots. Data revealed that plant height, fresh and dry biomass, moisture...

in order to effects of fertilizer source and intercropping ratios on macronutrients concentration and uptake of fenugreek and black cumin, a factorial experiment was conducted as randomized complete block design with three replications at shahrekord university research farm in 2013. sole cropping of fenugreek (f) and sole cropping of black cumin (b) and three intercropping ratios (f:b 2:1, f:b ...

The experiment was conducted at the Research Farm of Crop Physiology and Ecology Department, Hajee Mohammad Danesh Science and Technology University, Dinajpur during 14 August to 7 December, 2008 to study the effect of (different organic and inorganic) fertilizer management on soil properties and yield of five fine rice cultivars viz., Rajshahi swarna, Silkumul, Kataribhog, Lal pajam and Sanla....

raphanus sativus l. (radish) plants were grown in waste water irrigated area of dinapur, a suburban area in the north east of varanasi, india. soil and plant characteristics were compared between fertilized (farmyard manure (fym), npk, and fym+n) and non-amended control treatments. compared to the control, plants grown in fym and fym+n amended soil showed a decrease in concentrations of heavy m...

The influence of inorganic fertilizer application on the flavonoid, phenol and steroid content of the leaves of Ocimum gratissimum and Gongronema latifolium was investigated. Cultivated O. gratissimum and G. latifolium were treated with NPK (15:15:15) inorganic fertilizer at 100 kg/ha, 200 kg/ha, 300 kg/ha, 400 kg/ha and 500 kg/ha treatment levels in plastic planting buckets derived using the f...

Nitrogen is an essential element for plant growth and development; however, due to environmental pollution, high nitrate concentrations accumulate in the edible parts of these leafy vegetables, particularly if excessive nitrogen fertilizer has been applied. Consuming these crops can harm human health; thus, developing a suitable strategy for the agricultural application of nitrogen fertilizer i...

Manure application is effective in promoting soil carbon sequestration, but its impact on N2O emission is not well understood. A field experiment was conducted in a maize-cultivated black soil in Northeast China with six treatments: inorganic fertilizer (NPK), 75% inorganic fertilizer N plus 25% pig (PM1) or chicken (CM1) manure N, 50% inorganic fertilizer N plus 50% pig (PM2) or chicken (CM2) ...

The influence of inorganic fertilizer media at different concentrations on the growth and biochemical composition of Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae was evaluated. Microalgae were placed in a bath culture with inorganic fertilizer (NPK) medium and WC medium during 28 days, Growth and biological aspects of microalgae between the media were compared. Mineral concentrations affected the physiol...
