a field study was conducted in qaen region using complete randomized blocks with three replications to study the effect of organic manure, zinc and boron on yield and yield components of millet and grain chemical composition. the treatments included factorial arrangement of municipal solid waste compost and cow manure (each at 25 ton ha-1), zn (0, 50 kg ha-1) and b (0, 10 kg ha-1) by using thei...

A study was conducted to evaluate the effects of liming on chemical properties of wheat field soils and yield of wheat in Ranisankail soil series of Bangladesh. There were eight treatments of liming material applied from dolomite (CaCO3.MgCO3). Yield and yield components of wheat were recorded at harvest and the grain and straw were analyzed for P, S, Ca and Mg contents. The post harvest soils ...

Soil quality decline represents a significant constraint on the productivity and sustainability of agriculture in the tropics. In this study, the influence of biochar, compost and mixtures of the two on soil fertility, maize yield and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions was investigated in a tropical Ferralsol. The treatments were: 1) control with business as usual fertilizer (F); 2) 10 t ha(-1) bio...

in this research for study the effects of nitrogen fertilizer on yield and yield components of current rice cultivars was an experiment as factorial in rcbd with three replications where conducted during 2009 year in two locations (rice research institute, rasht, and rudsar, east of guilan). factors were cultivars (khazar, ali kazemi and hashemi), and nitrogen fertilizer levels (0, 30, 60, and ...

Understanding the time-course of dry matter (DM) and nitrogen (N) accumulation in terms of yield-trait relationships is essential to simultaneously increase grain yield and synchronize N demand and N supply. We collected 413 data points from 11 field experiments to address patterns of DM and N accumulation with time in relation to grain yield and management of winter wheat in China. Detailed gr...

In order to study the effect of different levels of the manure and foliar application of Zn and Mn fertilizers on the quantitative and qualitative yield of soybeans (var. Williams), a factorial experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2012. Treatments involved three levels of fertilizer: manure (zero as control; six and 12 t/ha), two lev...

Due to increasing scarcity of fresh water, use of unconventional water source (e.g., wastewater) in irrigation has now become important. However, inclusive information on the effects of wastewater on crop production and soil health is necessary for such intervention. This study was designed to evaluate these effects by demonstrating the contribution of municipal wastewater (hereafter called was...

in order to study the effects of manganese sulfate in increasing seed yield of four safflower genotypes (carthamus tinctorius) under rainfed conditions, this experiment carried out in maragheh agricultural research station. the experiment was arranged with four mn fertilizer levels (0,10,20,30 kg ha-1) as soil application together with two foliar spray levels (1% and 2%) of 1.5 kg ha-1 manganes...
