Synthetic (e.g. urea) and organic fertilizers (e.g. compost) differed markedly in N isotope composition and the greater the difference between organic and synthetic fertilizer the more robust will be the differentiation of crops and vegetable grown under different farming systems. The objective of this study was to compare nitrogen and carbon isotope composition of organic fertilizers and manur...

Agrochemical is evolved by the contraction and combination of words agricultural and chemical, and is a generic term used for the various chemical products typically used in agriculture. Agrochemicals essentially help in intensifying crop production and to reduce the effects of pests and parasites on farm animals. Agrochemical basically refers to the broad range of pesticides and fertilizers. A...

The swift proliferation of nanotechnology is revolutionizing the conventional sectors food and agriculture, with remarkable innovations such as intelligent responsive packaging, Nano sensors, nano-based pesticides fertilizers. An array new nanomaterials being developed to enhance safety quality, boost crop yields, monitor environmental parameters. This review explores most recent advancements i...

Large amounts of uranium, radium and radium products are redistributed throughout the environment owing to the use of phosphate fertilizers. Potential radiological impacts resulting from direct exposure, inhalation and ingestion of foods grown with fertilizers are discussed. This paper describes a simple method to measure exhalation rate of 222RN from phosphate fertilizers, clay and potatoes in...

aimed at reducing the consumption of chemical fertilizers on crop production and according to important role of micro-nutrients such as iron, on increase performance of these products, nanocomposites effect of iron on yield and yield components of wax bean genotypes inoculated with rhizobium bacteria during experimental factorial randomized complete block design with three replications was cond...

Controlledrelease fertilizers (CRFs) offer an excellent option to improve nutrients uptake by plants and reduce the environmental hazards due to excess release of chemicals. Polymer-coated fertilizers, compared to the other types of CRF, are by far the most intensively researched topic because of their great characteristics. Polymercoated fertilizers, which are less sensitive to the soil and en...
