We measured nitrogen transformations and loss following forest clearing in a relatively fertile tropical forest site. Nitrogen mineralization, nitrification, and amounts of ammonium and nitrate increased substantially in surface soils during the 6 mo following burning, then returned to background levels. The nitrogen content of microbial biomass declined to half its original value 6 mo after cl...

Marigold belongs to the oldest medicinal plants, which had been used in the ancient times. At present it supplies its material of a great significance for pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry. The study was conducted in the period 2007–2009 on loess soil with the granulometric composition of silt loam. The aim of the experiment was to determine the effect of different nitrogen doses (0, 40, 80,...

This research aimed at investigating the effect of different levels of nitrogen and planting patterns on dry matter production and growth physiological indices in intercropping maize and sunflower. To do this a split plot experiment carried out based randomized complete block design with three replications in research field of Shushtar Islamic Azad University. The main plot included three level...

A split plot factorial 2 × 3 experiment was designed to examine and characterize the relationships among secondary metabolites (total phenolics, TP; total flavonoids, TF), carbohydrate content, C/N ratio, protein synthesis and L–phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL; EC 4.3.1.5) activity in the Malaysian medicinal herb Labisia pumila (Blume) FernVill. under different CO2 concentrations (400 = ambien...

in order to investigation of nitrogen fertilizer split application effect on quantity yield and grain quality of rice varieties, an experiment was carried out based on rcbd design as split plot experiment in three replications in langroud in 2006. mainand sub factor were variety (hashemi and bahar 1) and five nitrogen fertilizer split application (split of 150 kg.ha-1 n at transplanting, stemmi...

to study the effects of different levels of water stress and nitrogen fertilizer on seed yield and yield components of two common bean genotypes (phaseolus vulgaris), an experiment in a split plot factorial based on crbd with four replications was conducted at the research farm of university of tehran (karaj-iran) in 2010. water stress treatments as the main factor included normal irrigation (6...
