A field experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2010 and 2011 to investigate the optimization of nitrogen levels under different age of seedlings transplanted on growth, chlorophyll content, yield and economics of hybrid rice. Fifteen treatment combinations consisted of three levels of seedlings age (10, 20 and 30 days) and five levels of nitrogen viz. N0, N50, N100, N150 and N200 kg h...

spp.) showed that forage DM intake was positively correlated with N fertilization rate. Fertilization may also Because native, shortgrass prairies are not typically fertilized and increase forage preference by livestock. Cook and Jeffotherwise extensively managed, little information is available on their response to nitrogen (N) fertilization. An experiment was conducted eries (1963) showed tha...

The effects of maturity of maize at harvest, level of inclusion and potential interactions on the performance, carcass composition, meat quality and potential concentrate-sparing effect when offered to finishing beef cattle were studied. Two maize silages were ensiled that had dry matter (DM) concentrations of 217 and 304 g/kg and starch concentrations of 55 and 258 g/kg DM, respectively. Grass...

Elephant grass (Cenchrus purpureus syn. Pennisetum purpureum) stands out for its high dry matter production per unit area and good nutritional value is cultivated throughout Brazil. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of elephant cultivar ‘Cameroon’ fertilized with nitrogen (N) phosphorus (P) at different rates. The experimental design was in randomized blocks 10 treatments 4 replicate...

in order to study the effects of different irrigation regimes and nitrogen fertilizer levels on yield and yield components of chickpea (ilc482), a field experiment involving chickpea genotype ilc482 was conducted as factorial arrangement based on a randomized complete block design with four replications in the agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad during growing season o...

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...

A 2-yr production study was conducted to evaluate 3 systems of growing stocker calves under rotational stocking. One group of steers was stocked on pasture from early April to mid August (spring-stocked steers = SSS), and another group of steers was stocked from early July to late October (fall-stocked steers = FSS). Steers were stratified by BW (n = 72, BW = 229 +/- 11 kg for SSS; n = 72, BW =...

This paper proposes a stochastic application of a deterministic model (LEACHN) with the aim of forecasting the probability of exceeding given nitrate leaching levels for different cropping systems and soil hydrological characteristics. The understanding of the level of probability associated to the prediction of leaching is an important criteria for the judgement of cropping systems. After cali...

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the effects different nitrogen doses and cultivars on some nutritive value annual ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum var. westerwoldicum) silage. Material Methods: conducted as a field experiment at Ege University, Department Field Crops during growing season 2019-2020. Four (Elif, Big Boss, Baquend, Medoacus) five (0, 75, 150, 225, 300 kg ha-1)...

nitrogen is one of the most limiting nutrients for cereal production in many parts of iran. the effects of crop residue incorporation [0 (control), 25 and 50% of wheat (triticum aestivum l.)] and nitrogen (n) levels (0, 150, and 300 kg ha-1) on corn (zea mays l.) grain yield and nitrogen use efficiency were investigated at agricultural research station, shiraz university, shiraz, iran for two y...
