INTRODUCTION Industrial nitrogen fixation plays an important role in sustaining approximately 40% of the Earth’s population through generation of synthetic fertilizers. Annually, ca. 500 million tons of anhydrous ammonia, ammonium nitrate, and urea are produced through the Haber-Bosch process, which requires harsh conditions (200 atm, 450-500C) and affords low yields 10-20%. It has been estimat...

among crop plants, corn (zea mays l.) need a great amount of nitrogen during its growth period. an increase in the efficiency of nitrogen application not only decrease environmental pollutions, but also it,s economical. this study was conducted to determine the effect of nitrogen fertilization management on the yield and nitrogen efficiency in corn during 2006-2009 at safi-abad dezful agricultu...

this research has been done for studying the effect of split application of nitrogen fertilizer on growth indexes and yield of three hybrids of grain corn in shahrood. a split plot experiment based on randomized complete block design with four replications was carried out in 2007. three hybrids of corn (double cross 370, single cross 447, single cross 499) were placed in main plots and split ap...

to evaluate the yield and quality of barley (hordeum vulgare)–vetch (vicia desycarpa) intercropping, a series of experiments were conducted at the experimental field of the college of agriculture, university of tehran, in karaj (iran) from 2003 to 2005. the ex-periments were arranged in a randomized complete block with a split plot design and four replications. three levels (0, 45 and 90 kg n h...

abstract- crop residue is applied to amend soil properties and increase crop yield. in this study, the effects of rapeseed residues and different rates of nitrogen on grain yield and yield components of sunflower and weed dry matter were investigated. the experiment was conducted at the experimental farm of college of agriculture, shiraz university, located at badjgah, shiraz, iran in 2007-2008...

this study was performed to assess the effects of nitrogen fertilizer and vermicompost on qualitative and quantitative yield of chamomile ( matricaria chamomilla l.). it was conducted at the research fields of ran company located in firouzkouh, iran, in 2013. treatments were consisted of 1) control, 2) 100% nitrogen from urea, 3) 100% nitrogen from ammonium nitrate, 4) 75% nitrogen from urea an...

In this study the effect of four levels of nitrogen fertilizer (0, 50, 100, 150) kg/ha and four levels of super phosphate triple (0, 50, 100, 150) kg/ha were investigated on Rubia Inctorum L. (madder) under salinity stress. A factorial experiment was carried out in a research farm in Roaddasht, Isfahan based on complete randomized blocks with three replications. The results of the variance anal...

in order to investigate the effects of nitrogen fertilizer on yield and yield component of potato, (solanum tuberosum l.) and researching for direct and indirect effects of some important agronomic traits, an experiment was conducted based on randomized complete blocks design with three replications at the agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran, during 2008. chlorop...

Nitrogen sources commonly used by cyanobacteria include ammonium, nitrate, nitrite, urea and atmospheric N(2), and some cyanobacteria can also assimilate arginine or glutamine. ABC (ATP-binding cassette)-type permeases are involved in the uptake of nitrate/nitrite, urea and most amino acids, whereas secondary transporters take up ammonium and, in some strains, nitrate/nitrite. In cyanobacteria,...

As of early 2013, over 200 natural products are known to contain a nitrogen-nitrogen (N-N) bond. This report categorizes these compounds by structural class and details their isolation and biological activity.
