in order to study the effects of potassium application on uptake and allocation of nitrogen and seed protein on two lentil cultivars in rain-fed condition a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted at ardabil research center for agriculture and natural resources, in 2008. three potassium levels (0, 30 and 60 kg.ha-1), three nitrogen le...

Photosynthetic capacity is one of the most sensitive parameters in vegetation models and its relationship to leaf nitrogen content links the carbon and nitrogen cycles. Process understanding for reliably predicting photosynthetic capacity is still missing. To advance this understanding we have tested across C(3) plant species the coordination hypothesis, which assumes nitrogen allocation to pho...

Nitrogen is one of the important indexes to evaluate the physiological and biochemical properties of soil. The level of soil nitrogen content influences the nutrient levels of crops directly. The near infrared sensor can be used to detect the soil nitrogen content rapidly, nondestructively, and conveniently. In order to investigate the effect of the different soil water content on soil nitrogen...

The amounts of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco), total chlorophyll (Chl), and total leaf nitrogen were measured in fully expanded, young leaves of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), rice (Oryza sativa L.), spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.), bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), and pea (Pisum sativum L.). In addition, the activities of whole-chain electron transport and carbonic anhydr...

in order to study the effect of soil nitrogen content and water hardness on glyphosate efficacy on common lambsquarter (chenopodium album l.) and redroot pigweed (amaranthus retroflexus l.) control, an experiment was carried out as a completely randomized design in a factorial arrangement with three replications. experimental treatments were included soil nitrogen content (18, 50, 90, 200 and 3...

this experiment was conducted for determining the effect of irrigation termination before harvesting and late application of nitrogen on sugar beet yield, quality and root rot during 1993-95 at safiabad agricultural research center. different irrigation termination and late nitrogen application treatments had a significant effect on root yield. terminating irrigation 1 and 3 weeks before harves...

The aim of this work was to find the most useful inorganic nitrogen source to enable Leucopaxillus giganteus to become a more nutritious mushroom, regarding organic acid and phenolic composition and total alkaloids content. For these, the influence of NH 4NO 3,NaNO 2, KNO 3,, and (NH 4) 2HPO 4 on the organic acid production was determined by HPLC-UV and total alkaloid content was assessed by a ...

in order to evaluate the effects of different levels of potassium and nitrogen on nitrogen use efficiency (nue) and yield of rapeseed (hyola 401), a field experiment was conducted at rice research institute of iran (rasht) in a factorial experiment based on a complete randomized block design with 3 replications for two years (2008-2010). the first factor was pure potassium fertilizer in three l...
