The effect of integrated use of mineral and organic N sources (farmyard manure, poultry manure, and Filter Cake) on yield and N uptake of wheat were assessed in biennial field experiment carried out on silty clay loam soil in Nuclear Institute for Food and Agriculture, Tarnab, Peshawar Pakistan during 2005-07. Combined dose of N provided from all sources was applied @120 kg ha-1. There were 17 ...

Introduction: Paraoxon (the neurotoxic metabolite of organophosphorus (OP) insecticide, parathion) exerts acute toxicity by inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), leading to the accumulation of acetylcholine in cholinergic synapses and hence overstimulation of the cholinergic system. Since, reports on changes in the level of γ- amino butyric acid (GABA) during OP-induced convulsion have bee...

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 ...

in order to evaluate the effect of increasing soil soluble phosphorus (p) and its effect on nitrogen (n) and p uptake, p uptake efficiency and p harvest index of black seed (nigella sativa l.) in a calcareous soil; a field experiment was conducted as factorial layout based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at research station, faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi univers...

Understanding how plant water uptake interacts with acquisition of soil nitrogen (N) and other nutrients is fundamental for predicting responses to a changing environment, but it an area where models disagree. We present novel isotopic labelling approach which reveals spatial patterns N uptake, their interaction, by trees. The stable isotopes 15 2 H were applied small the forest floor in stands...
