The application of biofertilizers constitutes one of the main components of nutrient management with a fundamental role in sustainable agriculture and the improvement of plant qualitative traits. The present research assessed the effect of various treatments of phosphate solubilizing bacteria including Pantoea agglomerans strain P5 and Pseudomonas putida</...

in order to evaluate the effect of foliar application of micro nutrients on physiological growth indices and total dry matter yield of forage corn. field experiment was conducted in 2006 at bersian village isfahan. a randomized complete block design with four replications was used. plant treated with 8 foliar application treatments (fe, zn, cu, mn, fe + mn, cu + zn, fe + mn + cu + zn and contro...

ABSTRACT- The influence of foliar application of urea, humic acid (HA), Zinc (Zn), and Boron (B) on potato yield (CV. Cror) was studied in a field experiment during 2010-2012 at the research farm of Nuclear Institute for Food and Agriculture (NIFA). Treatments consisted of i) Control, ii) Nitrogen-Phosphorous-potassium (NPK) (250,150,250 kg ha-1) , iii) NPK (125,75,125 kg ha-1) with 0.03% HA, i...

To study the effect of Zn and B as foliar spray on growth and yield of sweet orange, cv. Blood red at Dargai, Malakand Agency, Pakistan during 2006 and 2007. The micronutrients zinc (Zn) in the form of zinc sulphate (ZnSo4.7H2O) as zinc source at the rate of 0.5 % and 1.0 % and boron (B) in the form of boric acid (H3BO3) at the rate of 0.02 % and 0.04 % were applied as foliar spray at three dif...

Enhancing nutrient uptake and the subsequent elemental transport from the sites of application to sites of utilization is of great importance to the science and practical field application of foliar fertilizers. The aim of this study was to investigate the mobility of various foliar applied zinc (Zn) formulations in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) and to evaluate the effects of the addition of...

although micronutrients effect on growth and yield of different plants has been intensively investigated, but there is limited information on its effect on grain yield and seed oil content of pot marigold) calendula officinalis l.). in order to investigate the effects of micronutrients (fe, zn and mn) spraying on yield and yield components and seed oil of pot marigold, a field experiment was co...

the objective of the present study was to assess the combined effects of drought stress and foliar application of zinc and manganese on seed quality of red bean (naz variety) during the accelerated aging test. the experiment was carried out as split factorial in a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with three replications at the research farm of shahrekord university during 2010-2011. drou...

Zinc (Zn) is an important micronutrient that can alleviate cadmium (Cd) toxicity to plants and limit Cd entry into the food chain. However, little is known about the Zn-Cd interactions in pasture plants. We characterized the effects of foliar Zn application and Cd uptake by ryegrass (Lolium rigidum L.) and clover (Trifolium subterraneum L.) grown on Cd-contaminated soils; all combinations of fo...
