The amount of nitrogen fertilizer applied to plants is usually large. Only part of this fertilizer,
of about 6–50%, is taken up by plants, depending on fertilizer, plant and soil type, climatic …

Mineralized nitrogen (N) from organic matter and decomposing residues in most soils are
not always taken into account. Little is known about the correct N application dose for pear …

Agricultural yield is the result of multiple factors and ecological processes (eg, pollination,
fertilization, pest control). Understanding how the different factors interact is fundamental to …

The present field experiment was conducted during two consecutive cropping seasons in
central Portugal to study the effects of simultaneous elevation of carbon dioxide …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the response to phosphorus (P) and potassium (K)
fertilization and to establish the critical levels of P and K in the soil and in the plant tissue in …

Different cultivars of pear trees are often planted in one orchard to enhance yield for its
gametophytic self-incompatibility. Therefore, an accurate and robust modelling method is …

We measured the total chlorophyll (Chl a+ b) content in seedling leaves of fifteen maize
cultivars infested by two studied aphid species (oligophagous Rhopalosiphum padi L …

The experiment was carried out during 2009-2011 period in Yalova conditions. The aim of
the experiment is to determine fertigation and postharvest foliar fertilization methods with …

The timely estimation of nitrogen (N) requirements is essential for managing N fertilizer
application in pear orchards. Visible/near infrared spectroscopy is a non-destructive and …

Nitrogen (N) fertilization reduces worldwide food insecurity by boosting crop yield and
stability. N is one of the most essential macromolecules required for the growth and …
