BACKGROUND: Wheat produces more than 50 percent of requirements protein and calorie for human nutrition in Iran. Management of nitrogen fertilizing is important to increasing wheat production. So, among chemical fertilizer a high correlation reported between nitrogen and yield. Also to improve physical, chemical and biological properties of soil, organic fertilizer such as verm...

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...

in recent years, surplus usage of chemical fertilizers and inattention the importance organic matter to improve soil fertility, leading to increasing use of chemical fertilizer, environmental pollution and etc. in order to study the different fertilizer levels (organic, chemical and combined) on yield of grain corn (s.c.704) experiment was conducted at the research farm faculty of agriculture t...

to evaluate the effect of chemical and bio-fertilizer on nitrogen, phosphorus and potash concentration, biochemical traits and calyxes yield of roselle, an experiment was conducted in the split plot based on randomized coplete block design with three replications, at the research station in zabol university, during 2013 and 2014. the main plot consisted of three levels: phosphorus, nitrogen and...

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects of different fertilizer types and application rates on ammonia volatilization loss and to explore nitrogen distribution and nitrogen use efficiency using the 15N isotope tracing technique in different alkaline salt-affected conditions in the Songnen Plain, Northeast China. The results showed a decreasing trend in ammonia volatilization l...

M crested wheatgrass stands in western North Dakota were established 15 to 20 years ago. These fields are still used for hay and pasture, and many are still in excellent condition. One field at the Dickinson Experiment Station, seeded in 1938, has produced an average of 1,262 pounds of forage per acre (dry weight) over the past 12 years. However, there is good evidence that the productivity of ...

The use of N fertilizer in agriculture is a major source of Nitrous Oxide, an important greenhouse gases. Market-based instruments, such as incentives or taxes, may help reduce Nitrous Oxide emission by changing Nitrogen application rate. Using a dynamic programming approach, we found that changing corn price or fertilizer price have effects on both farm profit and Nitrogen application rate. Ho...

enhancing nitrogen use efficiency is one of the most important strategies for improving productivity in agriculture and reducing risk of environmental pollutions in sustainable agriculture. in order to study the effects of different levels of organic manure and chemical fertilizer on nitrogen uptake efficiency (nupe), nitrogen utilization efficiency (nute) and nitrogen use efficiency (nue) of i...
