in order to evaluate the effects of nitrogen levels and its split application on growth indices and their relationship with grain yield of rice (cv. khazar), a field experiment was conducted at rice research institute of iran with 11 treatments arranged in a randomized complete block design with 3 replications in 2008. nitrogen fertilizer levels (10, 20 and 30 kg.ha-1) were applied according to...

To satisfy future demands, the increase of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) yield is inevitable. Simultaneously, maintaining high crop productivity and efficient use of nutrients, especially nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), are essential for sustainable agriculture. NUE and its components are inherently complex and highly influenced by environmental factors, nitrogen management practices and genotypi...

in order to evaluate the effects of organic fertilizer complements application (aminol forte, fosnutren and kadostim) on grain yield, milling properties and nitrogen use efficiency of two rice (oryza sativa l.) cultivars, a field experiment in factorial layout and a randomized complete block design with 10 treatments and 3 replications was conducted at rice research institute of iran in 2009. t...

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects of different fertilizer types and application rates on ammonia volatilization loss and to explore nitrogen distribution and nitrogen use efficiency using the 15N isotope tracing technique in different alkaline salt-affected conditions in the Songnen Plain, Northeast China. The results showed a decreasing trend in ammonia volatilization l...

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...

Nitrogen is essential for plant growth and development. Improving the ability of plants to acquire and assimilate nitrogen more efficiently is a key agronomic parameter that will augment sustainability in agriculture. A transcription factor approach was pursued to address improvement of nitrogen use efficiency in two major commodity crops. To this end, the Zea mays Dof1 (ZmDof1) transcription f...

recently, biological fertilizers extensively recommended because of over application of chemical fertilizer and their effects on environment and production resources. in order to study the effect of inoculate phosphate solubilization microorganisms (psm) and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr) on nutrient use efficiency in corn [zea mays (l.) cv. sc 604] an experiment was conducted in 2...
