Agrotain has shown in previous studies on silt loam soils to be much less prone to ammonia volatilization loss and to result in higher rice-grain yields compared to urea when the flood cannot be applied immediately after nitrogen (N) fertilizer application. However, no research has been conducted to determine if Agrotain is superior to urea as an N source for rice grown on clay soils, which vol...

Rainfall is a driving force for the transport of environmental contaminants from agricultural soils to surficial water bodies via surface runoff. The objective of this study was to characterize the effects of antecedent soil moisture content on the fate and transport of surface applied commercial urea, a common form of nitrogen (N) fertilizer, following a rainfall event that occurs within 24 hr...

The development of natural-based adhesives is a key aspect in reducing the consumption fossil resources, adapting to legislation on use formaldehyde and ensuring sustainability wood panel industry. This study focuses five alternatives for tannin-based (tannin-paraformaldehyde, tannin-glyoxal, tannin-hexamine, tannin non-isocyanate polyurethane (NIPU) with ammonium hydroxide NIPU HDMA bio-adhesi...

Problem statement: This experiment was carried out for study the effects of chemical and biological fertilizers and interaction between them on some physiological characteristic and yield and its components of seed corn in two different irrigation. Approach: The experiment was conducted in a split plot factorial with completely randomized block design using four replications. Sub plots consiste...

This study examines the agronomic response, efficiency and profitability of fertilizer microdosing in maize. An experiment with the following treatments was conducted: control without fertilizer, microdosing treatments, with the rate of 27 + 27, 53 + 53 and 80 + 80 kg ha, and banding of fertilizer with 100 + 100 kg ha of di ammonium phosphate (DAP) + urea, applied at planting and jointing, resp...
