Abstract
30Sep 2016 EFFECT OF PARENTAL NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT ON SEED GERMINABILITY OF TURNIP Fatemeh Etemadi and Mahya Ansari Stockbridge School of Agriculture, University of Massachusetts Amherst, Amherst, MA, USA. Department of Agronomy and Plants Breeding, College of Agriculture, University of Karaj, Iran.
Highlights
Were used for laboratory experiment.The results showed that integration application of vermicompost, biological fertilizer and 25% of the required chemical fertilizer produced the best results in terms of seed germination percentage and seedling vigor
The results showed the combination of organic and biological fertilizers can lead to lowering the need of chemical fertilizers while improving the seed quality in turnip
Reports indicated that poultry manure alone or mixed with zeolite and vermicompost are amongst efficient soil organic amendments for crop production (Daryaei, et al, 2010; Afshar et al, 2014; Aranconet al., 2005)
