Download or read book Improving Efficiency of Urea Fertilizers by Inhibition of Soil Urease Activity written by S. Kiss and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2002-03-31 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a comprehensive and updated review of fundamental studies on inhibition of soil urease activity and of applied studies on improving efficiency of urea fertilizers by inhibition of soil urease activity. The general literature on these topics covers 65 years and the patent literature comprises a period of nearly 40 years. The potential of food production to meet the growing needs related to population increase is largely conditioned by the efficiency of agricultural fertilizers. Urea has gradually become the most important nitrogen fertilizer in world agriculture. However, its efficiency is in general reduced due to excessive activity of a soil enzyme, urease. One way to increase efficiency of urea fertilizers is the inhibition of soil urease activity. In the last four decades, multilateral investigations have been carried out in a series of countries to identify and test unpolluting and inexpensive chemical compounds to be used as inhibitors of soil urease activity. These investigations are reviewed, including those described in the patent literature. The book is addressed to a broad audience, including experts and students in agronomy, forestry, plant physiology, soil science (especially soil biology and biochemistry), and other environmental sciences, as well as in organic and inorganic chemistry.

Download or read book Manures and Fertilizers written by A.K. Kolay and published by Atlantic Publishers & Dist. This book was released on 2007 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite The Considerable Progress Made In Enhancing The Capacity Of Soils To Produce Crops Through The Use Of Manures And Fertilizers, There Are Yet A Large Number Of Ignorant Peasants In Many Asian Countries, Including India, Who Have Been Growing Crops Without Applying Adequate Amounts Of Manures And Fertilizers To Their Crop Fields And Consequently Obtaining Considerably Less Yields. It Needs To Be Realized By One And All That Soil, Particularly In The Developing Countries, Has To Be Fertile Enough If Their Ever-Increasing Huge Population Is To Be Adequately Fed And Clothed. Accordingly, Knowledge Of Farmyard Manure, Compost, Fertilizers And Other Agricultural By-Products And Their Applications Is Indispensable.The Present Book Is A Sincere Effort In Disseminating Information On Manures And Fertilizers. Primarily Designed As A Textbook, Its Wide Coverage Includes Varied Manures And Their Preparation And Effects; And Production And Consumption Of Various Fertilizers Along With The Detailed Elucidation Of Their Properties, Uses, Advantages And Disadvantages. Application Of Both Manures And Fertilizers Separately And In Combination Has Been Explained In Depth In Reference To Individual Crops Of Extensive Variety. It Analyses The Applied Aspects Of Fertilizers And Manures In Their Entirety And Suggests How To Adjust Them To Particular Soil And Particular Style Of Farming. The Book Is Well Supplemented With References And Indexes Which Will Prove Useful Study-Aids To Readers. Owing To Its Reader-Friendly Approach To The Subject, Simple Language And Lucid Style, The Book Is Accessible Even To Average Readers. While It Ideally Caters To The Academic Needs Of Undergraduate And Postgraduate Students Of Agriculture Science, It Is A Lasting Valuable Reference Source For Researchers And Teachers, Peasants, Geologists And Soil Surveyors.

Book excerpt: "Methods of irrigating grain crops are restricted somewhat because of the fact that such crops cover the entire surface of the plot on which they are grown. Objections to the flooding method, based on loss of water by evaporation, have less weight the irrigation of grain than of other crops, grain fields seldom being irrigated after the seed is planted until the grain is high enough to protect the soil from sun and wind. Grain usually is the first crop grown on irrigated farms. For such farms flooding usually is better than other methods, since the preparation of the land for it is easier than for the other methods. Flooding from field ditches is the usual method of handling water in irrigating grain, but the border basin methods are also adapted to such crops. These methods are described in detail in this bulletin, which also discusses the proper time to irrigate, the quantity of water required, and the cost of growing grain under irrigation."--Page [2]
