in order to study the effect of different types and rates of animal manure and spent mushroom compost on controlling egyptian broomrape (orobanche aegyptiaca perss.) in tomato (mill. lycopersicon esculentum), two studies were conducted on randomized complete block design with three replications at research green house, college of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad and nemooneh field of...

pumpkin is one the most important cultivated medicinal plants. because of high quality oil it uses as edible and herbal medicine. to find out the effects of different rates of pelleted animal manure and urea levels and some micronutrients on morphophysiological characteristics and oil yield of medicinal pumpkin, a split plot experiment based on rcbd with three replicates was conducted at the re...

Ammonia (NH3) emissions from animal manure are a significant environmental and public concern. Despite the numerous studies regarding NH3 emissions from manure, few of them have considered microbial nitrification approaches, especially fungal nitrification. In this study, a filamentous fungus was isolated from chicken manure and was used for nitrification. The species was Paecilomyces variotii ...

objective: in this study investigated effects of different amounts of pelleted manure with urea and micro elements on yield and seed quality of medicinal plants, pumpkin (cucurbita pepo var. styriaca). methods: the animal manure and urea as pellet with four levels (150 kg urea, 50 kg urea + 3.5 ton animal manure, 100 (kg) urea+ 1.5 ton animal manure and 150 (kg) urea+1.5 ton animal manure) loca...

introduction due to the development of sustainable agriculture and the reduction of utilizing chemical fertilizers, it is essential to use organic fertilizer. organic matter is vital to soil fertility and its productivity. to maintain the level of fertility and the strength of soil, organic matter levels should be maintained at an appropriate level. unfortunately, the level of organic matter in...

A field experiments were carried out at Shambat, Sudan (Latitude 15 40 ́N and Longitude 32 o o 32 ́E) in three consecutive seasons (2000/03) to investigate the effect of Bradyrhizobium inoculation and chicken manure or sulphur fertilization on minerals composition of soybean (Glycine max L.). The results obtained showed that inoculation, chicken manure, sulphur and their interactions significantl...

Hellebrand Department of Technology Assessment and Substance Cycles Department of Engineering for Livestock Management Leibniz-Institute for Agricultural Engineering Potsdam-Bornim (ATB), Max-Eyth-Allee 100, D-14469 Potsdam, Germany Abstract Animal manure is a source of undesired gaseous emissions as there are ammonia (NH3), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O). They...

Livestock farming systems encompass (i) grazing, (ii) mixed, and (iii) land-less systems. These systems convert crop protein into animal protein with an efficiency ranging from 5% to 45%, depending on animal type, system and management. The nitrogen (N) in the remaining fraction (55– 95%) is in urine and dung, and is conducive to N losses. This paper reviews N input–output budgets and N losses ...
