abstractbackground and objectives: in most saline and non-saline soils, nitrogen is the most restrictive nutrient for plant growth. in saline soils, interactive effects of salinity and soil fertility is very important from optimum production. nutrient imbalance is one of the problems with saline soils. in these circumstances, the fertilizer application may to increase osmotic effect of salt, th...

in order to investigate the effect of urea and azocompost on economic yield, nitrogen use efficiency (nue) and radiation use efficiency (rue) of wild majoram, a factorial experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with three replications at yazd and mashhad, iran, during 2012-2013 growing season. four urea levels and four azocompost levels (to provide 0, 40, 80 and 120 k...

in order to study the effects of rate and application time of nitrogen on grain yield of rainfed wheat, water use efficiency of rain (wue), nitrogen agronomic efficiency (nae) and soil moisture depletion (smd), one experimental farm was carried out in kurdistan province during 2012-2014. tratments were five rates of nitrogen (n0, n30, n60, n90 and n120) kg.ha-1 as urea with three application ti...

This study is to test the effects of Bt gene introduction on the foliar water/nitrogen use efficiency in cotton. We measured leaf stomatal conductance, photosynthetic rate, and transpiration rate under light saturation condition at different stages of a conventional cultivar (zhongmian no. 16) and its counterpart Bt cultivar (zhongmian no. 30) that were cultured on three levels of fertilization...

extinction coefficient (k) is an important index that shows the rate of light decrease in canopy. net biomass accumulation is linearly related to cummulative light interception. the slope of this relationship is termed radiation use efficiency. a split plot experiment within randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted in april 2001 in sugar beet research station in ka...

more nitrogen use efficiency in crops is important for maintaining and developing sustainable agriculture. in order to study the effect of different levels of mushroom compost and different resource of nitrogen on yield, yield attributes and nitrogen use efficiency of wheat (triticum aestivum l.), an experiment was conducted at faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran, durin...

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...
