effects of various fertilizers such as farmyard manure (fm), urea, and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr, including the genera azotobacter and azospirillium) were checked on yield, fatty acids, protein, and oil contents of sunflower. a two-year field experiment was conducted in a semi-arid region in iran in 2007 and 2008. the experiment was a split plot in a randomized complete block d...

Nitrification inhibitors (NIs) delay the oxidation of ammonium by soil microorganisms, maintaining a higher proportion of applied nitrogen (N) in the soil by preventing nitrate-N loss from leaching and gaseous N losses from nitrification and denitrification. Thus, a large number of studies have shown N fertilizers with NIs are more environmentally friendly. In contrast, there are only a lim...

This experiment was laid out in order to evaluate the effects  of different biofertilizers on yield components of barley. The experiment was a factorial design with three replications. Treatments were three nitrogen biofrtilizers (Nitroksin, Nitrokara and Supernitroplass) and three phosphate  biofrtilizers (Phosphate barvar2, Biozarr and Superplass) with control for them and yield components we...

in order to investigate the effects of drought stress on grain yield and its components, a study was carried out (2011) as split plots in randomized complete blocks design in isfahan (32° 40'  n,51° 48' e). main factor was drought stress in four levels including irrigation after 80, 100, 120, and 140 mm evaporation from evaporation pan (class a) and subplots were three cultivars (sirena, record...

Rice paddies are a major source of anthropogenic nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions, especially under alternate wetting-drying irrigation and high N input. Increasing photosynthate allocation to the grain in rice (Oryza sativa L.) has been identified as an effective strategy of genetic and agronomic innovation for yield enhancement; however, its impacts on N2O emissions are still unknown. We conduct...

genotypic variation is useful to breeders when selecting genotypes to improve particular traits. inorder to study of genetic diversity 20 genotypes of hordeum murynum studied in the form of randomized complete block design the experimental field of islamic azad university shahre rey branch with 3 replication in the year 2012. notes traits was conducted including days to heading, days to maturit...

Background: This study aimed at determining the appropriate method for dewatering and drying biomass and selecting a suitable organic solvent for lipid extraction. Methods: Nannochloropsis Oculata was cultured in Gillard F/2 medium and after reaching the end of the stationary growth phase, algal biomass was separated from aqueous by centrifuge and dried through three methods: Oven, Air-dried an...

Sustainable soil and crop management practices that reduce soil erosion and nitrogen (N) leaching, conserve soil organic matter, and optimize otton and sorghum yields still remain a challenge. We examined the influence of three tillage practices (no-till, strip till and chisel till), four cover rops {legume [hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth)], nonlegume [rye (Secaele cereale L.)], vetch/rye bicu...
