Analysis of heavy metals in top soil samples from Nzoia sugarcane farms in Western Kenya found elevated levels of heavy metals in the soils with mean concentrations (mg kg⁻¹ dry weight) of 142.38, 59.12, 73.35, 116.27, 409.84 (dry season) and 144.22, 50.29, 72.14, 158.81, 368.83 (wet season) for Cr, Pb, Cu, Zn and Fe, respectively, compared with a control soil sample from an adjacent field wher...

In this study the effect of four levels of nitrogen fertilizer (0, 50, 100, 150) kg/ha and four levels of super phosphate triple (0, 50, 100, 150) kg/ha were investigated on Rubia Inctorum L. (madder) under salinity stress. A factorial experiment was carried out in a research farm in Roaddasht, Isfahan based on complete randomized blocks with three replications. The results of the variance anal...

Excessive consumption of nitrogen (N) to enhance production, which may lead to environmental pollution. While sustainable production is threatened due to low soil fertility and organic matter. This study was carried out as a factorial experiment in the randomized complete block design and three replications at the research field of the University of Jiroft in 2018-2019. The present study invest...

in order to investigate the effect of different levels of biological fertilizers on potato performance (cv. marfona), an experiment was carried out as strip plot based on rcb design with 3 replications in 2011 at isfahan. treatments included nitrocara at 4 levels (0: control, 220, 330 and 440 ml.ha-1) as a first factor and nitroxin+ phosphate at 4 levels (0+0: control, 20+100, 30+150 and 50+200...

BACKGROUND: Nitrogen is a basic plant component, playing a decisive role in the intensification of plant production. Bio-fertilizers play a very significant role in improving soil fertility by fixing atmospheric nitrogen, both, in association with plant roots and without it, insoluble soil phosphates and produces plant growth substances in the soil. OBJECTIVES:</s...

in order to evaluate the effect of using zinc granulated phosphorous biofertilizer on yield and yield components of white bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.), a field experiment based on a randomized complete block design with three replications was performed. experimental treatment were included of using phosphate and triple super phosphorous chemical fertilizer at five levels (without using of chemi...

introduction moisture limitation is considered as one of the important limiting factors in soybean growth. drought stress affects different aspects of soybean growth through making anatomical, physiological and biochemical changes (tarumingkeng & coto, 2003). under dry tension condition, there will be a disturbance in transmitting nutrients, but some useful soil fungi such as mycorrhiza improve...

biological fertilizers can be suitable alternative to chemical fertilizers to increase soil fertility and crop production in sustainable agriculture. in order to evaluation of integrated application of bio-fertilizers and chemical fertilizers on on quantitative and qualitative yield of ajowan in strip intercropping, a field experiment was conducted in a factorial design based on randomized comp...
