Nutritional management is an important factor in the success of crop production. In order to evaluate different level of nitrogen, potassium and zinc fertilizers on agro physiological characteristics of green bean a field experiment was conducted as split-plot based randomized complete block design in three replications, in Varamin university field research during 2011. The main plot included u...

The effect of potash biofertilizer and chemical fertilizer was studied on quantitative and qualitative traits of periwinkle in a factorial experiment based on a Randomized Complete Design with three replications, 48 experimental units, and two factors: (1) different methods of potash bio-fertilizer application at four levels of control (B0), seed inoculation (B1), root inoculation (B2) and seed...

In South Africa during the past four decades considerable research has taken place on the nutrient requirements of sugarcane. Consequently marked changes have occurred in patterns of fertilizer use. The value of N, P and K fertil~zers for cane production is reviewed using field experimental data. Correlations established between soil and leaf analysis and crop responses to various nutrients are...

To observe the comparative effects of poultry manure, household waste compost and fertilizers and their combinations on growth and yield of maize (Zea mays L.), this experiment was conducted in the crop field of the Department of Soil Science, University of Chittagong, Bangladesh during Rabi season in 2010-2011. There were ten treatments, one control and nine fertilizer combinations. In three s...

Understanding how fertilization affects host resistance to hemlock woolly adelgid, Adelges tsugae Annand (Hemiptera: Adelgidae), is important because fertilizers are often used to grow resistant selections to a suitable size for testing. We evaluated four hemlock species (Tsuga) under three different fertilizer regimes to assess whether fertility affected resistance to the adelgid and to determ...

Biofertilizers have been used as sources to improve plant nutrients in sustainable agriculture. Experiments were conducted to evaluate the potential of phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) Bacillus megaterium var. phosphaticum and potassium solubilizing bacteria (KSB) Bacillus mucilaginosus inoculated in nutrient limited soil planted with pepper and cucumber. Results showed that rock P and K a...

The information presented is part of ongoing research to identify effective conservation tillage systems and phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) fertilizer placements for corn and soybeans. The rate of adoption of the no-till system by Iowa producers has decreased after a marked increase during the late 80s and early 90s. Actually, the area of no-till corn has decreased slightly since 1994. Severa...

recently, biological fertilizers extensively recommended because of over application of chemical fertilizer and their effects on environment and production resources. in order to study the effect of inoculate phosphate solubilization microorganisms (psm) and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr) on nutrient use efficiency in corn [zea mays (l.) cv. sc 604] an experiment was conducted in 2...

A field experiment was conducted during two successive seasons 2010 and 2011 to determine the influence of rabbit manure rats( 5,10 and 15 m / fed.) and bio-fertilizers. The biofertilizer used was Bacillus sirculans (B.S) (used as seedlings inoculants) and vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (VAM) (used as soil inoculants) and their interactions on periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus , L. G. Don...
