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...

the higher levels of essential elements in soil may be caused in optimum yields and crop quality. so it seems to be necessary to examine different levels of nutrients like fe and zn on plants and their productivity. to evaluate effects of iron and zinc application on yield and yield components of pimpinella anisum an experiment was conducted at the research farm of urmia university in 2009. tre...

a trial study was carried out to assess the influence of the plant residue management in conjuction with application of different nitrogen sources on wheat yield and components, at the agricultural faculty of shahidchamran university of ahvaz during 2011-2012.the experimental design was splitplot at randomized completed block design arrangement. the main plot were different wheat residue manage...

to investigate the effects of intercropping of basil (ocimum basiilicum l.) and cowpea (vigna unguiculata l.), different levels of nitrogen fertilizers on basil and cowpea yield, an experiment was carried out during 2010 and 2011. experimental factor were included weed treatment (weeding and unweeding), three levels of nitrogen fertilizer (0, 50 and 100 kg ha-1), different planting ratio, (p1: ...

Nitrogen is essential for plant growth, and N fertilization allows farmers to obtain high yields and produce sufficient agricultural commodities. On the other hand, nitrogen losses potentially cause adverse effects to ecosystems and to human health. Increasing nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) is vital to solve the conflict between productivity, to secure the demand of a growing world population, a...

in order to study the effect of water deficit stress and different nitrogen levels on flower yield, yield components and water use efficiency of calendula officinalis l., an experiment was conducted as split plot based on randomized complete block design with three replications, at research field of islamic azad university, birjand branch in 2009. in this experiment, irrigation treatments (irri...

Integrated nutrient management (INM) is a holistic approach that involves the application of organic and inorganic fertilizers to improve soil health crop productivity. The research study was conducted demonstrate effective use INM on in Green gram. We used randomized block design (RBD) with four levels poultry manure @ 0, 50, 75 100% ha-1, nitrogen, phosphorous potassium@ ha-1 rhizobium seed t...
