crop rotation affect on crop nitrogen uptake and nitrogen use efficiency (nue). crop rotations with high nue decrease energy use and increase level of sustainability in agro ecosystems. the objectives of this research were to determine the suitable double cropping system for enhancing nue and evaluate the effects of crop rotation, n fertilizer rate and return of crop residue on nue. this study ...

The watersheds of the Mississippi are some of the most intensively managed agricultural basins in the world. As such, they receive high loadings of nitrogen and export a large amount of nitrate to the drainage networks of the Mississippi River basin and coastal ocean. We find a positive correlation between fertilizer input and stream export of nitrogen. According to the correlation, 34% of appl...

Fungi play important roles as decomposers, plant symbionts and pathogens in soils. The structure of fungal communities in the rhizosphere is the result of complex interactions among selection factors that may favour beneficial or detrimental relationships. Using culture-independent fungal community profiling, we have investigated the effects of nitrogen fertilizer dosage on fungal communities i...

a trial study was carried out to assess the influence of the plant residue management in conjuction with application of different nitrogen sources on wheat yield and components, at the agricultural faculty of shahidchamran university of ahvaz during 2011-2012.the experimental design was splitplot at randomized completed block design arrangement. the main plot were different wheat residue manage...

BACKGROUND: Fertilizer management plays an important role for obtaining satisfactory yields and to increase crop productivity. Nutrient management may be achieved by the involvement of organic sources, bio fertilizers, and micro-nutrients. OBJECTIVES: Assessment effect of chemical and biological fertilizer on seed yield, its components and plant height of...

in order to study the effects of different levels of drought stress and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria on the germination indices of seeds harvested from wheat (tritium aestivum l.) cv. sayonz in the field treated with different levels of nitrogen, in controlled conditions, a factorial layout based on completely randomized design with three replications, was conducted. treatments included...

in this research for study the effects of nitrogen fertilizer on yield and yield components of current rice cultivars was an experiment as factorial in rcbd with three replications where conducted during 2009 year in two locations (rice research institute, rasht, and rudsar, east of guilan). factors were cultivars (khazar, ali kazemi and hashemi), and nitrogen fertilizer levels (0, 30, 60, and ...
