The application of organic fertilizers alone or in combination with bio-fertilizers is important for sustainable agriculture, healthy agricultural production and restoring soil quality. Compost, vermicompost and mycorrhiza amendments could improve soil quality and plant yield. However, little is known about their impact on yield and quality of European borage (Borago officinalis L.). To evaluat...

introduction to achieve the higher economic yield of crop plants, supplying enough nutrients to plants is very important. moreover, nutrient uptakes by plants is influenced by the soil water contents. however, nowadays chemical fertilizer application is important agronomic factor that has significant effects on growth and quantity and quality of final yield, but traditional nutrient management ...

Vermicomposting is the process of converting organic wastes into valuable organic fertilizer by earthworms. Vermicompost is rich in metal ions and has the potential to be used as an electrolyte. The main aim of this investigation is to explore the potential of earthworms to convert the fruit waste into high quality vermicompost which can serve as a solution to solid waste management issues and ...

The study was aimed at understanding the effect of vermicompost on the growth and yield of Capsicum annum . The main aim of this investigation was focused on the assessment of the potency of selected earthworm species Eudrilus eugeniae with respect to their biodegradation of Lady’s finger waste into organic manure known as vermicompost. The present study has been carried out to estimate macro a...

The use of vermicompost (humified material) for treating wastewaters, remediating polluted soils, improving agricultural productivity, protecting crop production, and developing sensitive analytical methods is reviewed here, covering the past 17 years. The main advantages of vermicompost, considering all applications covered in this paper, comprise (i) easy acquisition, (ii) low costs, (iii) st...

BACKGROUND: Fertilizer management plays an important role for obtaining satisfactory yields and to increase crop productivity. Improve saving water in irrigated agriculture and thereby improving water use efficiency is of paramount importance in water-scarce regions. OBJECTIVES: This study was conducted to assessment effect of different levels of irrigation re...

Objective: An experiment was performed in Ardabil (2012) to investigate the effects of manure consumption in different amounts on reducing nitrogen fertilizer consumption in potato cv. Agria. Methods: This research was conducted in factorial design based on randomized completely blocks design in three replication  in which two manure factors in three levels (control, 30 and 60 tons/h) and nitro...

to evaluate the effects of fertilizing and deficit irrigation regimes on some chemical properties of soil and plant, an experiment was conducted during 2007 and 2008 growing seasons. experimental design was a split plot based on a randomized complete block design with four replications. the treatments consisted of three deficit irrigation regimes (main plots) and six soil fertilizing systems (s...
