Relationship between Phosphorus and Nitrogen Concentrations in Spring Wheat
Efficient management of P in crop production requires the development of tools to quantify the P status of plants. Our objectives were to establish the relationship between P and N concentrations of spring milling wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) during the growing season and, in particular, to determine the critical P concentration required to diagnose P deficiency. Shoot biomass and P and N ...

Extension workers' attitude towards usefulness of an integrated soil fertility and nutrient management approach in Bangladesh
The main focus of this study was to determine extension workers' attitude towards usefulness of Integrated Soil Fertility (ISF) and Nutrient Management (NM) approach for sustainable crop production. Data were collected from 64 extension workers from four districts in Bangladesh using face-to-face interview from December 2005 to January 2006. Findings indicated that more than two-thirds (68%) of ...

One crop, two ways, multiple benefits
Nitrogen fixation is one of the best examples of cooperation in nature. Soil microbes – naturally occurring bacteria in the soil – work with plants to pull nitrogen from the air. They turn the nitrogen into a form the plant is able to use. In return, the plant lets the microbes eat some of the sugars it makes. Faba beans (also called fava beans) are one example of plants that work ...

NPK compound fertilizer production line manufacturers talk about sulfur use methods
NPK compound fertilizer production line manufacturers often use sulfur to reduce soil pH value and improve saline alkali soil in agriculture. However, the use of sulfur as nutrient fertilizer in agricultural production has not attracted people's attention until recently. Sulfur is an inert, insoluble yellow crystalline solid. Commercially, it can be stored in the open air, and it remains ...

Spatial variability of the Illinois soil nitrogen test: Implications for sampling in a turfgrass system
Nitrogen fertilization of turfgrass continues to be scrutinized due to environmental concerns. Practices that reduce fertilizer inputs without sacrificing turfgrass quality are needed, but a reliable test of N status in turfgrass is not currently available. The Illinois soil N test has been developed to predict crop response to applied N by measuring the amount of amino sugar N in the soil. Amino ...
