SummaryField experiments were conducted on four barley cultivars (two hulled and two hullless) grown under unirrigated conditions in Varanasi, India, to observe the effect of rate of application of nitrogen on copper concentration and uptake in plants and soils. The copper concentration in both plants and soil decreased with age of crop because of the dilution effect of more vegetative growth. Varieties did not differ in copper concentration of plants but increasing application of nitrogen decreased copper concentration in the plants. Since the hulled varieties yielded more than the hull-less ones, they removed more copper from the soil. Similarly yield was increased linearly by the application of N fertilizer and this led to a linear increase in depletion of available copper.

SummaryThe moisture use pattern and efficiency (MUE) of four barley cultivars (two hulled and two hull-less) were studied when the crops were grown in winter under unirrigated conditions at Varanasi, India, with different rates of application of nitrogen fertilizer. Increase in moisture use with age of the crop due to vegetative growth was recorded. Influence of varieties on consumptive use of water was found to be negligible except in the 1st year between 65 days after sowing and after harvest of the crop, when differences were due to differences in duration of the crop growth and rainfall which was received at the time of maturity. The moisture mining capacity of the barley crop from the profile (up to 120 cm) was increased with increase in the rate of nitrogen application. MUE of barley cultivars closely paralleled the grain yields, being more with hulled cultivars than hull-less ones. Higher MUE of barley was observed in the 2nd than in the 1st year of experimentation because of a better distribution of rainfall and moisture availability at the time of sowing, which boosted yields. Nitrogen application increased both yield and MUE of barley.

ABSTRACT In early soybean cultivars of high productive potential, the use of chemical nitrogen (N) fertilizer may be a critical factor to meet the crop N requirements for obtaining high yields. In order to determine the response of early soybean cultivars to doses and times of nitrogen fertilizer application, associated with the inoculation of Bradyrhizobium japonicum, two field experiments were conducted in a Quartzipsamment soil from the Brazilian tropical Savannah, during the 2016/2017 and 2017/2018 growing seasons. The experimental treatments were arranged in a 2 × 3 × 4 factorial scheme, being two soybean cultivars (BRS 1074 IPRO and ST 797 IPRO), three application times of N fertilizer (sowing, 30 and 50 days after the emergence) and four N doses (0 kg ha-1, 20 kg ha-1, 40 kg ha-1 and 60 kg ha-1). The following variables were evaluated: plant height, shoot dry matter, number of nodules, nodule dry matter, first pod height, number of pods, number of grains per pod, 1,000-grain mass, grain yield and harvest index. The use of N fertilizer did not improve the production components and did not increase the soybean grain yield, regardless of the doses and times of application. Therefore, it was concluded that, if efficient strains of B. japonicum are used in areas of first soybean crop, in a Quartzipsamment soil with medium-high fertility, especially with a relatively high N availability due to the mineralization of the soil organic matter, there is no need to apply starter or late doses of nitrogen fertilizer.

Egyptian Henbane

Egyptian henbane (Hyoscyamus muticus L.) plants are rich sources of alkaloids used in pharmaceutical products. Recently, rising efforts have been devoted to reducing mineral fertilizer supply, production cost, and environmental pollution via decreasing the doses of nitrogenous fertilizers and adopting biofertilizer farming systems. Two field experiments were conducted to examine the potential role of N fixing bacteria Azotobacter spp. and Azospirillum spp. on the growth, mineral status, tropane alkaloids, leaf anatomy, and seed yield of Egyptian henbane grown with different levels of mineral nitrogen fertilizer, i.e., 25%, 50%, and 100% of the recommended dose, equal to 30, 60, and 120 kg N ha−1. N fertilizer improved growth, mineral elements, tropane alkaloids, seed yield, and yield components of Egyptian henbane, which showed a gradually rising trend as the rate of N fertilizer increased. High doses of N fertilizer presumably elicited favorable changes in the anatomical structure of Egyptian henbane leaves. The application of 50% N dose plus N fixing bacteria affected Egyptian henbane trials similarly to 100% of recommended N dose. In conclusion, the N fixing bacteria proved to be a sustainable tool for a two-fold reduction in the recommended dose of mineral N fertilizer and the sustainable management of Egyptian henbane nutrition.

A research to study the effects of Zeolite and nitrogen fertilizer application on vegetative growth of maize crop in coastal sandy soil was conducted on the research field of Agriculture Faculty, Muhammadiyah University of Yogyakarta at Tamantirto, Bantul District of Yogyakarta during October until February, 2003. This research was aimed on the study of Zeolite application in order to enhance the nitrogen uptake in the coastal sandy soil, and its effects on vegetative growth of CP I variety of maize. The pot experiment was arranged in 7 x 3 factorial completely randomized design, with 4 replications. The first factor was Zeolite dosage consisted of 7 levels, i.e:  0, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 %; and the second one was 3 levels nitrogen fertilizer dosage which consisted of: 75, 110, and 145 kg/ ha. The nitrogen fertilizer was applied on the medium mixed with Zeolite granules. Observations on plant height, stem diemeter, leaves number, plant fresh and dry weight were done during the vegetative growth of maize. The results showed that Zeolite application significantly enhanced the vegetative growth of CPI maize. The 5,2  - 5,6  % Zeolite was optimum to gave the maximum growth of maize crop. Nitrogen fertilizer application was also significantly increased the plant height and biomass weight, and the 145 kg/ha was the optimum dosage. There was no interaction between Zeolite and nitrogen fertilizer application in order to affected the maize growth.

Foliar-applied nitrogen (N) fertilizer was investigated as a means of ameliorating the damage to cotton of waterlogging associated with extended furrow irrigation of a cracking grey clay. Dissolved urea was applied at 0, 5, 10 and 20 kg N ha-1 to the cotton foliage one day before furrow irrigations lasting 4, 8, 16 and 32 h. Treatments were repeated at three crop irrigations. Storms following the first two irrigations delayed the recovery from waterlogging and reduced treatment differences. However, foliar-applied N significantly increased late square and green boll numbers after the third irrigation, and produced more open bolls and heavier lint yields than the control treatment at harvest. Lint yields increased by 2.8, 5.9, 8.4 and up to 10.5 kg ha-1 per kg of foliar N applied before irrigations lasting 4, 8, 16 and 32 h, respectively. From this interaction it was concluded that foliar-applied N ameliorated the effects of waterlogging. Nevertheless, in the most severe waterlogging treatment, yield response to foliar N reached a limit, indicating that some other factor had become limiting.

Leaf development and expansion are important factors in determining the outcome of crop-weed interference. The comparative effects of temperature and corn canopy-induced shading on the rate of leaf appearance (RLA) of redroot pigweed were quantified in this study. Growth cabinet results indicated a linear increase in RLA with increased temperature. Weed RLA was predicted utilizing both this function and field temperature data. The ratio of observed to predicted RLA of redroot pigweed grown in field experiments decreased in 1990 and 1991 as shading increased with increased corn density and delayed weed planting date. Results indicated that RLA is substantially affected by canopy-induced shading in addition to temperature.

Copper is a commonly used metal in construction, engineering, agriculture and water treatment. Consequently, increased copper concentrations resulting in adverse environmental effects is inevitable. Phytoremediation using Dendrocalamus asper or Philippine giant bamboo (PGB) is a viable option for treatment of copper-contaminated media, but their copper uptake potential remains largely unexplored. As such, the copper uptake of PGB was evaluated under varying environmental conditions, namely initial copper concentration, water hardness and pH.Six-month old propagules were planted in artificially contaminated water in order to determine the copper uptake after 16 days of treatment. Using a Box-Behnken design of experiment, it was found that both initial copper concentration and pH have significant and proportional effects on copper uptake. However, due to possible speciation and/or competition, the optimum copper uptake occurred at 20 ppm Cu and pH 5 (as opposed to 7). A mathematical equation, bearing an R2 = 0.7097, was constructed as a possible model for copper uptake of PGB to understand when PGB phytoremediation is most effective. At copper concentrations lower than 3.81 ppm, higher pH is beneficial to copper uptake and vice versa. Overall, phytoremediation using D. asper or PGB is effective especially at low pH and elevated copper concentrations.

Field experiments were conducted in Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin in 1990 to explore interactions between nicosulfuron applied POST and terbufos insecticide at 0.06 or 0.11 g ai/m of row applied in-furrow on ‘Pioneer 3751’ field corn and ‘Jubilee’ sweet corn. Nicosulfuron at 0, 70, and 140 g ai/ha plus nonionic surfactant and 28% nitrogen fertilizer was applied to both corn types. Field corn response to nicosulfuron and terbufos was similar at all locations, whereas sweet corn injury varied with location. Nicosulfuron injured field corn more when applied at the four-leaf than the three-leaf stage. Injury to both corn types increased as nicosulfuron rate increased or when applied following terbufos. Nicosulfuron at 140 g/ha without terbufos did not reduce yield of either corn type; however, corn previously treated in-furrow with terbufos reduced yield.

SUMMARYThe concentration of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium was measured in the dry matter of sugar beet from four field experiments (1966–9). All combinations of four amounts of nitrogen fertilizer (0–1·8 cwt/acre), four plant populations (8800–54000 plants/acre) and irrigation were tested, which gave a wide range of plant size and yield. Nutrient concentration and uptake by the crop were also greatly affected by the treatments.Nitrogen fertilizer and irrigation increased uptake of nitrogen by the crop but increasing the plant population had little effect on uptake and decreased the concentration of nitrogen. Sugar yield was related to the total nitrogen concentration in tops and roots and to uptake. There were optimal values of nitrogen concentration for maximal sugar yield, but the optima were greatly affected by plant population. Leaf colour was a good guide to nitrogen concentration.Phosphorus concentration was affected little by the treatments but cation concentrations were greatly affected. In general, uptake of all the elements was increased by all treatments – the exception was sodium, which decreased as the plant population increased but this was balanced to somo extent by increased potassium uptake.
