The study was conducted to determine the interactive effects of biochar application in combination with farm yard manure (FYM) and nitrogen (N) fertilizer on soil organic matter (SOM) and mineral nitrogen at Agricultural Research Farm of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Agricultural University Peshawar in 2010-2011. Soil samples at 0-15 cm depth were collected from maize and mungbean plots at harvest stage (...

KAYMAK, H. C., 2013. Effect of nitrogen forms on growth, yield and nitrate accumulation of cultivated purslane (portulaca oleracea l.). Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 19: 444-449 The present investigation was carried out to determine not only the most appropriate nitrogen form but also the effect of these forms on growth, yield, element content and nitrate accumulation of cultivated purslane (portulaca ...

The modulation of primary nitrogen metabolism by water deficit through ABA-dependent and ABA-independent pathways was investigated in the model legume Medicago truncatula. Growth and glutamate metabolism were followed in young seedlings growing for short periods in darkness and submitted to a moderate water deficit (simulated by polyethylene glycol; PEG) or treated with ABA. Water deficit induc...

Novel nitrogen removal technologies via nitrite pathway attract increasing interest in recent years. In this study, batch experiments were performed to investigate nitrite accumulation characteristics and shifts in nitrifying community structure at different growth environments including ammonia concentration, pH and alkalinity. It was found that nitrite accumulation ratios were maintained at a...

a split plot factorial experiment based on randomized block design in four replications was performed in order to study the effect of three levels of compost (zero, 10 and 20 ton dry matter/ha), in main plots and three levels of nitrogen (zero, 100 and 200 kg/ha pure nitrogen) and three levels of phosphorous (zero, 60 and 120 kg/ha p2o) on corn yield. the effect of compost on different characte...

In order to promote the rational use of nitrogen fertilizer, dry matter accumulation, absorption processed pepper were studied by substrate culture and quantitative irrigation nutrient solution under 6 different levels (60%, 80%, 90%, 100%, 120% 140% normal N application). It showed that, with increase application, weight leaf, fruit, stem, root, plant increasing; The content each part run...

Pseudomonas putida CA-3 is a styrene-degrading bacterium capable of accumulating medium-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoate (mclPHA) when exposed to limiting concentrations of a nitrogen source in the growth medium. Using shotgun proteomics we analysed global proteome expression in P. putida CA-3 supplied with styrene as the sole carbon and energy source under N-limiting (condition permissive for...
