effects of organic manure (poultry manure) applied alone and integrated with inorganic fertilizer (urea) on yield and yield component, n-uptake and soil fertility in wheat-maize cropping system was evaluated in a field experiment at nuclear institute for food and agriculture, peshawar, pakistan. poultry manure was applied alone and were integrated in different proportions with mineral nitrogeno...

to evaluate the effects of pgpr foliar spraying on forage and grain yield of forage sorghum (var. speedfeed), a farm experiment was conducted in research farm of college of agriculture, university of tehran in 2009. the experimental design consisted of a randomized complete blocks consisting of 17 treatments in every block. in this research, the effect of foliar application of 16 different stra...

A large body of research has documented the effect of seed priming ongermination, emergence and crop yield. In such research, seed priming has beenfound to have a positive, negative or no effect. Meta-analysis can help tosummarize and interpret a collection of experiments. The aim of this study was toconduct a meta-analysis to synthesize published data from studies addressing theeffect of seed ...

A study was carried out over a two year period (2009/2010 and 2012/2013) on an experimental farm in the Alentejo region (Beja), in southern Portugal where rainfed malt barley (Hordeum distichum L.) is sown at the end of autumn or beginning of winter (November–December). The aim of this experiment was to study the efficiency of the herbicide iodosulfuron-methyl-sodium to control post-emergence b...

The release of nitrogen by roots of intact spring wheat plants into the soil and other losses, mainly of volatile N, have been investigated in two subsequent years from tillering until maturation, by use of a new technique for plant labelling with N. Plants were at first labelled by growing them in a N nutrient solution until tillering and then after thoroughly washing the roots with distilled ...
