a four - year field experiment (1999-2002) was conducted on a silty clay loam soil at laklak research field of hamedan to determine the effects of crop residue management and plowing depth on soil fertility and wheat yield in a maize-wheat rotation. in this investigation, four corn residue managements were used consisting of 1) stalk shredding by maize stalk shredder 2) stalk shredding by disk ...

pattern of feeding and reproduction of amblypharyngodon mola (hamilton, 1822) was studied in two floodplain lakes of north 24 parganas districts of west bengal in india during 2011.  results indicated that the fish exhibited a predominantly herbivorous diet with algae as the main content of gut. a long, thin walled, coiled gut and closely packed filamentous gill racker suited this feeding habit...

a total of 240, one-day-old quail chicks (coturnix coturnix japonica) were used to study the effects of artichoke leaf meal (alm) and vitamin e in diet on growth performance, ileal microbial populations and intestinal morphology in a 42-d trial. this experiment was performed as a completely randomized design with 4 replicates of 15 quails each, using a 4 × 2 factorial arrangement with diet and ...

introduction integrated nutrient management involving crop residue/green manures and chemical fertilizer is potential alternative to provide a balanced supply of nutrients, enhance soil quality and thereby sustain higher productivity. the present experiment was undertaken to evaluate the effect of different crop residue management practices and npk levels on yield components and yield of wheat....

introduction various factors like climatic conditions, vegetation, soil properties, topography, time, plant residue quality and crop management strategies affect the decomposition rate of organic carbon (oc) and its residence time in soil. plant residue management concerns nutrients recycling, carbon recycling in ecosystems and the increasing co2 concentration in the atmosphere. plant residue d...

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...

improvement of soil properties through sustainable agriculture requires suitable management of plant residues. this study was conducted to investigate the effect of different types and managements of plant residue on soil physical properties in a field experiment as factorial based on rcbd with three replicates. the first factor was residue type including barley straw and alfalfa residue, and t...
