introduction: soil fertility management is a key factor in achieving sustainable agriculture. use of organic fertilizers is one of the methods that without environmental harmful effects with improvement of chemical and biological conditions increases soil fertility. nitroxin contains a collection of the best strains of nitrogen fixation bacteria of the genus azospirillum and azotobacter. these ...

This study aimed to analyze the ecotoxicity of nitrogen-, phosphorus-, and potassium-based compounds to organisms of two different trophic levels in order to compare the toxic effect between high-purity substances and these substances as components of fertilizers. Dilutions were made with the fertilizers' potassium chloride, potassium nitrate, superphosphate, urea, and their equivalent reagents...

AN IMPROVED UNDERSTANDING of the terms fertilizer-use efficiency (FUE) and maximum economic yield (MEY) has likely never been as important to western Canadian agronomists and farmers as it is today. The objective of PPI/PPIC and Foundation for Agronomic Research (FAR) sponsored research projects in western Canada is to support a better understanding of the role of phosphorus (P) and potassium (...

introduction: citrus are one of the important orchard fruit production that after banana is second in production at the world level and every year, chemical fertilizers having most important role in increasing crops productions, but in long application of fertilizers cause soil destructions and polluting underground water. also soils of dry regions are very poor in organic matter level. nowaday...

in order to effects of fertilizer source and intercropping ratios on macronutrients concentration and uptake of fenugreek and black cumin, a factorial experiment was conducted as randomized complete block design with three replications at shahrekord university research farm in 2013. sole cropping of fenugreek (f) and sole cropping of black cumin (b) and three intercropping ratios (f:b 2:1, f:b ...

A study was conducted to determine if nitrate sources in ground water (fertilizer on crops, fertilizer on golf courses, irrigation spray from hog (Sus scrofa) wastes, and leachate from poultry litter and septic systems) could be classified with 80% or greater success. Two statistical classification-tree models were devised from 48 water samples containing nitrate from five source categories. Mo...

BACKGROUND: Nutrient management is one of the most important factors that affect the growth and production of maize. OBJECTIVES: Current research was conducted to investigate the effect of Mycorrhizas and vermicompost on seed yield, its components and quantities traits such as concentration of protein, starch, zinc, potassium and nitrogen of corn seed.<br...

To investigate the interacting effects of polymer coated urea (PCU) and polymer coated potassium chloride (PCPC) on cotton growth, an experiment was conducted with containerized plants in 2014 and 2015. There were two kinds of nitrogen fertilizer, PCU and urea, which were combined with PCPC at three application rates (40, 80 and 120 kg ha-1). The kinds of nitrogen fertilizer formed the main plo...
