To assess the effects of different levels of soil lead on mineralization of organic carbon and nitrogen, a factorial pot experiment was conducted using litter bag method. The factors examined were different levels of soil lead (0, 25, 50, 100, and 200 mg kg-1soil) and incubation periods (1, 2, 3 and 4 months) in three replications. At the end of incubation periods, the litter bags were pulled o...

This experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of biopolymer coated urea under deficit irrigation on ear yield, nitrogen uptake, nitrogen recovery efficiency and nitrogen use efficiency, grain protein and plant nitrogen content in sweet corn (KSc 403). The experiment was carried out in strip plot arrangement based on randomized complete block design with four replications in Agricult...
