This research aimed to analyse the effect of biopesticide and organic liquid fertilizer on weight and quality of apple. The study was carried out in Bumiaji, Batu, East Java (805'S, 11280'E, 1400 m in altitude) on July December 2013. The liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) was produced from water mixed with nitrogen source such as manure, urin, legume leaves, phosphoric powder and an energy sourc...

A field experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect of organic amendments on soil organic carbon, total nitrogen, bulk density, aggregate stability, field capacity and plant available water in a representative Chinese Mollisol. Four treatments were as follows: no fertilization (CK), application of inorganic fertilizer (NPK), combined application of inorganic fertilizer with maize straw (N...

in order to study the effect of organic fertilizers application on increasing nitrogen efficiency and also quantitative and qualitative characteristics of sugar beet, a series of experiments were performed for two years (2008 and 2009) using three amino acid containing organic fertilizers at motahari research station of sugar beet seed institute (sbsi), karaj, iran. four rates of organic fertil...

Cropping systems like organic farming, selling products at a higher price and promoting environmental sustainability by reducing fertilizer and pesticides, can be more profitable than conventional systems. An economic evaluation of three cropping systems in a seven year period experiment was performed, using a common rotation (fallow-barley-vetch-durum wheat) in a semi-arid rainfed field of Spa...

in order to study the effects of single and combined applications of biofertilazer and organic fertilizers on quantitative and qualitative characteristics of anisum (pimpinella anisum), an experiment was conducted based on a randomized complete block design with three replications and fifteen treatments at research station, faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran, in 2011 y...

Soil organic matter (SOM) is essential for sustaining food production and maintaining ecosystem services and is a vital resource base for storing C and N. The impact of long-term use of synthetic fertilizer N on SOM, however, has been questioned recently. Here we tested the hypothesis that long-term application of N results in a decrease in SOM. We used data from 135 studies of 114 long-term ex...

Organic waste materials are being used in huge amounts (tons ha) for improving soil health and crop yields. Recycling of organic wastes enriched with nitrogen and L-tryptophan (L-TRP) could convert organic waste material into a useful soil amendment, which may be effective even when added in substantially small amounts (kg ha). Organic waste material of fruits and vegetables was collected and s...

Chemical composition of soil organic carbon (SOC) is central to soil fertility. We hypothesize that change in SOC content resulting from various long-term fertilization strategies accompanies the shift in SOC chemical structure. This study examined the effect of fertilization strategies along with the time of fertilizer application on the SOC composition by 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) ...
