effect of different amounts of foliar- and soil- applied n were evaluated in a factorial arrangement of rcbd with three replications at the agricultural research station of gorgan in 2004-2005 growing season. two promising lines of bread wheat, two levels of foliar application of nitrogen (0 and 5%) at tillering and booting stage, with five rates of 0, 45, 90, 135 and 180kg n/ha as urea were us...

limitations of water and nitrogen in soil usually restrict plant growth. the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of different amounts of supplemental irrigation at different growth stages and application of different rates of nitrogen fertilizer on grain yield and water productivity of wheat cultivars. a field experiment was conducted in the agricultural research station of shah...

proper application of n fertilizer and its optimization for increasing the economic yield of rice is definitely important. in order to determine the best n application method and amount according to growth stages of hybrid rice, an experiment was carried out at experimental farm of rrii in a factorial experiment based on a randomized complete block design with 3 replications. the treatments inc...

Soil water, salinity and nitrogen content are three major factors affecting crop production in arid and semi-arid areas. This study was performed in two years of 2009 and 2010 in a semi-arid area in order to investigate the effects of irrigation water quantity (as main plot), quality (saline water, as sub-plot), nitrogen fertilizer (as sub-sub plot) and their interactions on growth and yiel...

nitrogen use efficiency (nue) is usually lower in paddy rice (oryza sativa l.) than in upland crops. for this reason, any attempt to improve nue through the use of different nitrogen (n) carriers, different rice cultivars, properly timed n application, the use of ni-trification and urease inhibitorsis of prime interest. moreover, zinc (zn) next to n seems to be the most important soil factor af...

nitrous oxide (n2o) has significant impact on global warming and leads to the depletion of ozone in the stratosphere. agricultural soil is regarded as a major source of n2o emissions. in recent years, greenhouse grown vegetables have rapidly developed in china. although excessive fertilizer application in greenhouse vegetable production can result in increased n2o emissions, research data on su...

Nitrogen deficiency can seriously reduce yield, while over-fertilization can result problems such as excess nutrient runoff and groundwater pollution. Hence, efficient methods for assessing crop nitrogen status are needed to enable more optimal fertilizer management. The ability to quantify the different nitrogen application rates by crops using digital images taken from an unmanned aerial vehi...
