found, had they considered N derived from the soil (Keeney, 1982; van der Ploeg et al., 1997). Using the Worldwide, nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) for cereal production same references and assumptions in Table 1, cereal (wheat, Triticum aestivum L.; corn, Zea mays L.; rice, Oryza sativa L. and O. glaberrima Steud.; barley, Hordeum vulgare L.; sorghum, NUEs are 42 and 29% in developed and develop...

crop rotation affect on crop nitrogen uptake and nitrogen use efficiency (nue). crop rotations with high nue decrease energy use and increase level of sustainability in agro ecosystems. the objectives of this research were to determine the suitable double cropping system for enhancing nue and evaluate the effects of crop rotation, n fertilizer rate and return of crop residue on nue. this study ...

a factorial pot experiment based on randomized complete blocks design with fourreplications was carried out in order to evaluate salt tolerance of four sugar beet cultivarsincluding madison (british origin) and three iranian cultivars (7233-p12, 7233-p21 and7233-p29) using carbon isotope discrimination (δ). plants were grown in sand culturemedium in greenhouse conditions. sugar beet cultivars w...

effect of different irrigation regimes and nitrogen fertilizer on percentage of grain fatty acids, yield, water and nitrogen use efficiency of pumpkin was studies as split plot based on complete randomized block design with three replications in growing season of 2013. irrigation treatments (320, 420, 600 and 900 mm ha-1) were se as main plots and nitrogen fertilizer (0, 130, 260, 390 and 520 k...

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...

water and nitrogen fertilizer are two main factors of agricultural production and deficiency of each one makes reduction in the yield. deficit irrigation is one of the ways for water management in arid and semiarid areas, but it is effective on the need of nitrogen. excessive use of nitrogen will be a waste of capital and environmental pollution. in this study the interaction of water and nitro...

use of nitrogen fertilizers has contributed much to the remarkable increase in food production that has occurred during the past 50 years. however, environmental and economic challenges due to nitrogen application in agricultural have increased regard to nitrogen use efficiency (nue). studies conducted around the world shows that only half of nitrogen fertilizer inputs is taken up by crops. unf...
