Atmospheric nitrogen biologically reduced in legumes root nodule and accumulated their postharvest residues may be of great importance as a source this macronutrient for succeeding crops. The aim the study was to determine uptake by winter triticale from pea residues, including N fixed atmosphere, using fertilizer enriched with 15N isotope. Triticale grown without fertilization at sites where f...

Various biological amendments, including commercial biocontrol agents, microbial inoculants, mycorrhizae, and an aerobic compost tea (ACT), were evaluated, alone and in conjunction with different crop rotations, for their efficacy in introducing beneficial microorganisms, affecting soil microbial community characteristics (SMCC), and reducing soilborne diseases of potato in greenhouse and field...

Research on barley as an animal feed started some decades ago but its utilization in animal production has been limited to countries that grow the crop extensively. Corn has been the most popular energy feed in cattle rations, but the high price of corn and the decreased supply of the grain in the international market have shifted the focus of the animal industry to other cereal crops like barl...

Annual medic is an annual crop which performs well in various forage cropping systems. However availability of medic seeds is a major challenge for livestock producers in Iran. This study was conducted to determine if intercropping annual medic with barley can produce supplement medic seeds while barley grain yield as the main crop is not compromised. Two experiments were carried out at the exp...

T description of work in refs 206 and 207 was incorrect. Although glyphosate was applied to fields/crops prior to wheat or barley, GR soybean was not in the rotation. Canola was one rotation crop that preceded wheat or barley, but the authors were not sure if it was GR or not (although it is likely based on the statement that the canola was sprayed with glyphosate in ref 207). The paragraph wit...

iran is a major producer of saffron in the world. about 255 tons of saffron is produced on 70 thousands hectares of land, of which 125 tons are exported. production is practiced on small holding, using traditional cultivation practices. one of the major problems associated with saffron cultivation is soil fertility depletion during the first cultivation period, the effects of which extends for ...
