In order to study the effect of phosphate solubilization microorganisms (PSM) and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) on yield and yield components of corn Zea mays (L. cv. SC604) an experiment was conducted at research farm of Sari Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources University, Iran during 2007. Experiment laid out as split plot based on randomized complete block design with t...

C rop and fertilizer management practices can increase wheat grain protein without sacrificing yield. Growing wheat with high grain protein begins with selecting the appropriate variety and providing enough fertilizer to meet the wheat’s requirements for growth and grain yield. If nutrient levels are sufficient to meet yield goals, then providing adequate available nitrogen (N) may be the most ...

Production of Mrenda (Corchorus olitorius) in Kenya has been low due to various reasons, such as poor agronomic practices like incorrect fertilizer rates. Observations from the Mrenda growing areas showed that there is high unmet demand for crop in local market and even for export. This is due to yields being low, 2-4 tons/ha as compared to expected yield of 5-8 tons/ha. Therefore, the main obj...

to evaluate the effect of drought stress, biofertilizer and chemical phosphorus fertilizer on yield and seed protein percentage of two lentil cultivars, an experiment was conducted in split factorial based on crbd design with 4 replications in research farm of university of tehran (karaj-iran) during 2009-10. the main factor including three irrigation levels (irrigation after 70, 90 and 130 mm ...

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was planted as winter crop using raised bed and conventional planting system with four N levels at Regional Wheat Research Station, Rajshahi (latitude 28°75′ N and longitude 92°58′ E), during November to March in 2002 and 2003 to study N content in grain and straw, uptake of total nitrogen, N use efficiency, fertilizer recovery percentage and grain yield. The highes...

Increased interests in low-input agriculture in recent years has seen the growing developmentin the use of commercial biological inoculants to increase the mobilization of key nutrients suchas nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) to enhance their availability to crop plants.The objectives of this field experiment with tobacco were to determine i) reduced rates ofinorganic fertilizer c...

Two studies were conducted on the use of solid and microbial fertilizers on rice for four cropping seasons (June to October 2010, January to April 2011, June to October 2011 and January to April 2012) at the RM-CARES experimental area, Philippines. One study was conducted in a converted organic area certified organic by the Organic Certification Center of the Philippines (OCCP) and the other on...

In order to evaluate the effects of inoculants and chemical fertilizer on quantitative and qualitative yield, a bread wheat cultivar treated with Azotobacter, arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi (AMF) and nitrogen sources by using split plot on the basis of randomized complete block design with three replications in Fars Agricultural Research Station during 2007-2008. Main plots consisted of nitrogen f...
