Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractControlling Ammonia Volatilization by Mixing Urea with Humic Acid, Fulvic Acid, Triple Superphosphate and Muriate of PotashShamsuddin Rosliza, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. MajidProblem statement: Inefficient use of inorganic fertilizer such as urea is caused by substantial losses of ammonia when urea is surface-applied. Ammonia losses can be controlled by adding acidic material such as TSP, HA or FA. In order to reduce ammonia loss and retain soil exchangeable ammonium and available nitrate as well as producing complete organic based fertilizer, this study … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2009 · 9,540 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractResponse of Maize to Nutrients Foliar Application Under Water Deficit Stress ConditionsN. A. Sajedi, M. R. Ardakani, A. Naderi et al.Problem statement: To investigate the effect of nutrient application on agronomical characteristic and water use efficiency under water deficit stress of hybrid maize 704, an experiment was arranged in a split plot factorial based on a complete randomized block design with four replicates in the research station of Islamic Azad University-Arak Branch, Iran in 2007. Approach: Main factors studied were … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,907 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReduction of Ammonia Loss by Mixing Urea with Liquid Humic and Fulvic Acids Isolated from Tropical Peat SoilSusilawati Kasim, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. Majid et al.Problem statement: Fertilizer N use efficiency is reduced by ammonia volatilization. Under low soil CEC and high pH, N from soil solution is released to the atmosphere. Ammonia loss due to low worldwide N use efficiency (33%) has been implicated in global warming. Thus, the objectives of this laboratory study were to evaluate the effectiveness of liquid humic and fulvic … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 9,513 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Fertilization and Clipping of Phlomis fruticosa L. on a Phryganic Ecosystem: The Case of Thesprotia, Northwest GreeceCh. Roukos, K. Papanikolaou, E. Nikolaou et al.This study examined the effectiveness of various shrub control treatments (N+P fertilization, clipping of Phlomis fruticosa and clipping combined with N+P fertilization), to reduce shrub cover and encourage the growth of palatable herbaceous vegetation. Dry matter production and Crude Protein (CP) content of palatable herbaceous vegetation were determined annually from 2004 to 2006. Experimental plots received rains of 691.7, 532.9 … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,823 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPlants Responses to Nutrients Follow the Saturation Kinetic Typical of Enzyme Systems: Biological, Economical and Environmental ImplicationsR.P. LanaAgricultural efficiency has been associated with high plant productivity. However, it is dependent on fertilizers, which are nonrenewable resources. Crop production response to fertilizers is hyperbolic, following the Michaelis-Menten model and the law of diminishing return. Data of crop production (barley, bean, corn, cotton, soybean and wheat) as a function of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilization were analyzed by Lineweaver-Burk … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 6,895 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Nitrogen and Potassium Uptake and Efficiency of Two Rice Varieties Cultivated on an Acid SoilShajarutulwardah Mohd Yusob, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Wan Asrina Wan Yahaya, Nik Muhamad Ab. MajidA pot study was carried with the following objectives: (i) To investigate N and K uptake of MR 220 and ARC 2 rice varieties grown on Bekenu series (Tipik Tualemkuts), and (ii) To investigate N and K use efficiency of MR 220 and ARC 2 grown on Bekenu series. Treatments evaluated were: (i) MR 220 and ARC 2 under fertilized … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,846 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnergy Flow in Agriculture: BangladeshM. S. Alam, M. R. Alam, K. K. IslamIn this paper, a qualitative energy flow analysis in Bangladesh agriculture has been made for a period from 1980-81 to 2000-01 to evaluate the impact of energy input to produce output. Human and animal muscle power and machinery energy for tillage operation, electricity and diesel energy for irrigation, fertilizer and pesticides energy for growth and protection are taken into account. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 11,587 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordProductivity and Energy Efficiency of Hybrid Sorrel (Rumex tianschanicus × Rumex patientia) Under Various Mowing and Fertilization RegimesAltinay Naziulovna Kukusheva, Ainagul Balgauovna Kaliyeva, Zarina Mukhtarovna Sergazinova et al.Hybrid sorrel (Rumex patientia × Rumex tianschanicus) is a multi-purpose crop that serves as both a fodder source and a potential biofuel feedstock. Despite growing interest in perennial forage and energy crops, limited information is available on the performance of hybrid sorrel (Rumex tianschanicus × Rumex patientia) under varying mowing and fertilization regimes, particularly in continental climates. This study aimed … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 1 · 1 Apr 2026 · 1,396 accessesView PDFCite
