Effect of bio and mineral nitrogen fertilization on growth and quality of some sugar beet cultivars

Two field experiments were carried out at a private farm in Sharkia Governorate, Egypt, during 2017/2018 and 2018/2019 seasons to study the effect of bio and mineral nitrogen fertilization on growth and quality of some sugar beet cultivars. Each field experiment was carried out in split split-plot design with four replicates. The main-plots were occupied […]

Effect of different levels of nitrogen on phonological parameters of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) cultivars under different climatic conditions

An experiment was conducted to investigate the impact of different levels of nitrogen on phonological parameters of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) cultivars under different climatic conditions of Punjab (Pakistan) (College of Agriculture, University of Sargodha, Regional Agriculture Research Institute Bahawalpur and Adaptive Research Farm Dera Ghazi Khan) during the year 2016. These different environments have […]

Soil nutrient status as influenced by fallow, tillage and nitrogen management in rainfed lowland rice condition

This field experiment was conducted for two cropping seasons to evaluate the effects of fallow and tillage managements in rainfed lowland rice and on the soil chemical properties especially on soil organic matter (SOM). Fallow managements which are mowing and leaving rice stubbles during fallow period were assessed. Effects of conventional and zero-tillage and nitrogen […]

Influence of nitrogen application on phenology, growth and yield of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.)

Sunflower is one of the most important oil seed crop. Pakistan is facing a serious shortage of edible oil. Nitrogen plays an important role in improving the growth, yield and quality of all crops. So, an experiment was designed to evaluate the influence of different levels of nitrogen on phenology, growth and yield of Sunflower […]

Field-specific nitrogen management for sugarcane using electrical conductivity in-situ measurements

The study was conducted to determine the potential use of soil electrical conductivity (EC) in developing field-specific nitrogen fertilizer recommendation for sugarcane. Relationship of field EC (in-situ measurement) with other soil physico-chemical properties such as texture, cation exchange capacity (CEC), pH, total N, available P and exchangeable bases including K, Ca and Mg were established. […]

ENHANCING SESAME OIL CONTENT AND SEED YIELD THROUGH NITROGEN MANAGEMENT

Sesame is an important oilseed crop and receives more attention due to its significance and oil contents. Yield components and quality of oilseed crops are mainly regulated by nutrient management at field level. A field experiment was carried out to assess the effect of nitrogen management on yield and yield component of sesame crop at […]

Effect of nitrogen levels and number of mites on some growth characteristics and the harvest of green fodder and grain yield for Barley (Hordeum vulgaire L.)

Barley Hordeum vulgaire L is an important grain crop, it ranks fourth after (wheat, rice and yellow corn) and is grown in large areas in most parts of the world and the Arab world. The aim of this research is to study the effect of different levels of nitrogen fertilizer on the yield and quality […]

Effect of nitrogen application methods and tillage implements on wheat production in salt affected soils

An efficient nitrogen management practices is imperative in salt-affected soil to avoid the overfertilization. In this context, a field trial was conducted tostudy the effect of tillage practices on nitrogen use efficiency in salt-affected soils for the wheat crop. Implements used in the study were, T1Cultivator, T2Disk harrow, T3 MB Plough, T4Chisel plough. Whereas three […]

Response of morphological and biological characteristics of two sunflowers (Helianthus annuus L.) hybrid against the application of nitrogen and phosphorous under the rainfed conditions of Rawalakot Azad Jammu and Kashmir

The sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is an important oil seed crop of subtropical and temperate zones. Among the all other nutrients required by sunflower, nitrogen and phosphorus are the more essential. In this study effectiveness of these nutrients on the yield, quality and nutrient uptake of two sunflower hybrids (Parsaun-3 and Super-2216) was explored. Results […]

Phenolgical traits and yield of different maize genotypes as influenced by nitrogen application methods

Selection of appropriate variety and proper method of nitrogen application has key role in improving farmer outcome and yield sustainability of maize. Therefore, an experiment to study varying nitrogen application methods on yield of maize varieties were carried out in Baffa research station district Mansehra during year 2018. The experiment was laid out in randomized […]
