Effect of application of organic and inorganic fertilizer on soybean yield in lowland Vertisols
Journal of Degraded and Mining Lands Management, 2020 Application of organic fertilizer can maintain and improve physical, chemical, and biological soil fertility and plant productivity. However, the use of manure requires a long time and a relatively large amount to have a positive impact on the soil and ...

Current Biology, 2014 SummaryFor reasons that are unclear, no eukaryotic enzymes can break the triple bond of N2. The reduction of N2 to NH3 (nitrogen fixation) is limited to prokaryotes and is catalysed by nitrogenase. Since most of the nitrogen entering the biosphere (around 100 million metric tonnes of N2 per annum) does so through nitrogenase activity (lightning ...

Effects of organic fertilizer and plant spacing on early-medium maturity soybean
Journal of Degraded and Mining Lands Management, 2018 Efforts to increase soybean productivity must be synergy with the improvement of soil fertility through fertilizer, especially organic fertilizer. Population density of a crop determines to a greater extent its performance in terms of soybean yield ...
