Little information exists on the potential for N fertilizer application to corn ( L.) to affect NO emissions during subsequent unfertilized crops in a rotation. To determine if N fertilizer application to corn affects NO emissions during subsequent crops in rotation, we measured NO emissions for 3 yr (2011-2013) in an Iowa, corn-soybean [ (L.) Merr.] rotation with three N fertilizer rates appli...

The optimization of the mineral nutrition is the key to optimize the production of groundnut, as it has very high nutrient requirement and the recently released high yielding varieties take away still more nutrients from the soil. On contrary severe mineral nutrient deficiencies due to inadequate and imbalance use of nutrients is one of the major factors responsible for low yield in groundnut. ...

in order to evaluate different sources and rates of nitrogen on dry matter yield, concentration and uptake of primary macronutrients (nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium) in forage sorghum (hybrid of speedfeed), three levels of nitrogen (80, 160 and 240 kg n ha-1) from three n sources (urea fertilizer, cattle manure and equal combination of urea fertilizer + cattle manure) and the control (no f...

Upland rice is typically grown under slash-and-burn systems in the mountainous regions of northern Laos by resource-poor farmers for subsistence. Upland rice cultivars are all traditional and no fertilizer inputs are used. In these systems, grain yields average only 1.7 t/ha. A multi-site experiment was conducted in Luang Prabang province to examine cultivar and fertilizer effects on grain yiel...

Centella asiatica is an herbal plant with many health benefits due to the content of asiaticoside compounds. Factors affecting are altitude, soil texture, and nutrient status. This research aimed identify effect zeolite, P2O5 fertilizer, media from different altitudes on C. asiatica. The was conducted in a greenhouse August 2017–June 2018. experimental design factorial, completely randomized th...

BACKGROUND: Selenium is now recognized as essential trace element for ruminants. OBJECTIVES: Studying the effect of different levels of selcote ultra fertilizer and farm yard manure on the concentration of selenium in alfalfa in order to achieve optimum concentration of selenium in this plant. METHODS: The experiment was factorial based on ra...

in order to evaluate the effects of ethephon and nitrogen fertilizer on sweet sorghum cv. sofra, an experiment was conducted as split plot on a randomized complete block design with three replications at agricultural research station of isfahan university (isfahan, iran). experiment was conducted with four nitrogen levels (0, 100, 200 and 300 kg urea ha-1 from urea with 0, 46, 92 and 138 kg nit...
