In order to investigate the effect of integrated application of biological and organic fertilizers on absorption and phosphorus physiological efficiency in medicago sativa in Aran and Bidgol citiy in 2013, A factorial experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Experimental factors include four levels of biofertilizers (control, nitroxin fertilizer, Fertilizer Phosphate-2 and the combination of Nitroxin and Fertilizer Phosphate-2) and Four levels of organic fertilizer (control, cow manure, sheep manure and chicken manure) were 10 tons per hectare. The results showed that the use of biological fertilizers had a significant effect on plant height, stem dry weight, leaf dry weight, leaf-to-stem ratio, grain yield, biological yield and harvest index at a significant level of 1%. Also, the effect of organic fertilizers on plant height, stem dry weight, leaf dry weight, leaf-to-stem ratio, grain yield, biological yield, harvest index, physiological efficiency and phosphorus use efficiency were significant at 1% level. Among the comparison of the averages of intraction effects, the highest physiological efficiency of phosphorus related to the treatment (no inoculation with biological fertilizer + consumption of 10 tons per hectare of cow manure) with an average of 35.78 kg of grains produced per kg of phosphorus used and the lowest amount of physiological efficiency of phosphorus. It belonged to the treatment (not using biological fertilizer + not using organic fertilizer.

n order to investigate AMF and phosphorus fertilizer effects on bitter gourd under different irrigation regimes, an experiment was conducted in the research farm of the faculty of agriculture of Tarbiat Modares university in 2020 as a split factorial based on a randomized complete blocks design with three replications. Three irrigation regimes including full irrigation, moderate irrigation deficit, and severe irrigation deficit were randomized in the main plot units and the factorial combination of two species of fungi Glomus mosseae and Glomus intraradices along with control (without fungi) and an amount of phosphorus with a control without phosphorus was randomly placed in the sub-plot units. The results showed that under water dificit stress, fruit yield, total chlorophyll, leaf phosphorus, and colonization percentage decreased compared to full irrigation, and proline, MDA, leaf ion leakage, CAT and APX enzymes, and coumaric acid increased. The use of AMF and phosphorus fertilizer under full and low irrigation conditions reduced MDA and improved fruit yield and the other investigated plant traits. The highest fruit yield (3133.27 g.m-2) was allocated to the plants under inoculation with Glomus mosseae species and phosphorus application under full irrigation regime. The highest amount of fruit coumaric acid (almost 11 ppm) was obsereved in inoculated plants with Glomus mosseae species and application and non-application of phosphorus fertilizer under severe irrigation deficit. According to the obtained results, it is possible to suggest the use of two species of Glomus mosseae and Glomus intraradices and sufficient phosphorus element to improve the yield and quality of bitter gourd fruit under water dificit stress and full irrigation.

This research was done with the aim of checking energy and economic indicators and the amount of greenhouse gas emissions in the production system of two products, tomato and onion in 2021 and 2022 in Alborz province. The information required for this research was obtained through interviews with farmers and completing questionnaires. The results of this study showed that the highest energy input, energy output, and net energy in onion were obtained in Savojbolagh city at the rate of 21324.8, 105600, and 24275.3 Mj.ha-1, respectively. In tomato, the highest input energy, output energy, and net energy was 73799.8, 56000, and -13495.4 Mj.ha1, respectively (in tomato, net energy is negative due to the greater input energy than output energy). The highest energy efficiency consumption was obtained in onion and tomato, 1.4 and 1.32 respectively. In the comparison of energy efficiency, the highest value in onion and tomato were observed 0.82 and 0.99 Kg.mj-1. Among the various inputs in the onion and tomato production systems, diesel, nitrogen chemical fertilizer, animal manure, irrigation water, gasoline, and manpower had the largest share in input energy in the order of priority. Onion and tomato by producing 3065.8 and 3045.4 kg of CO2 per hectare, played a role in the emissions of greenhouse gases. The analysis of economic indicators also showed that onion with a net income of 9608.7 $.ha-1 compared to tomato with a net income of 4840.3 $.ha-1 has generated more income. According to the obtained results it can be possible that reduce the amount of energy input and greenhouse gas emissions and thus, provide the necessary conditions for the establishment of more sustainable agriculture by modifying production methods such as using modern irrigation methods and also replacing animal and biological fertilizers with chemical fertilizers.

The use of biological and organic fertilizers as alternatives to chemical fertilizers increases the efficiency of the cycle of food elements, improves and stabilizes the quantitative and qualitative grain yield by maintaining the appropriate productivity of soil and water resources in sustainable agriculture. This experiment was conducted to determine the effects of combined application of organic and biological fertilizers on nitrogen agronomy efficiency and phosphorus content of white bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in 2015. The study was conducted as a factorial experiment arranged in a randomized complete blocks design with three replications. Treatments included four organic fertilizers (control, farmyard manure, mushroom compost, and vermicompost) and four biofertilizers (control, inoculation with azotobacter, barvar2, and azotobacter+ barvar-2). Application of nitroxin biofertilizer had the highest effect on all traits. The highest protein yield (2779 kg ha-1) related to nitroxin biofertilizer treatment + organic control and the lowest one (950 kg ha-1) was obtained when no organic and biofertilizers were applied. The highest and the lowest of phosphorus content (2.34% and 1.03%) belonged to nitroxine + mushroom compost and Barvar-2 + organic control, respectively. The highest (11.53 kg kg-1) and the lowest (0.0001 kg kg-1) nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) were achieved in control treatment + animal manure and when no organic and biofertilizers were applied, respectively. Therefore, the highest (11.53 kg kg-1) and the lowest (0.0001 kg kg-1) NUE were obtained in control + animal fertilizers and when no fertilzers were applied. Considering that the simultaneous application of biological fertilizers (nitroxin + Barvar-2) and animal manure is superior in terms of grain harvest index (35%), therefore, it was more priority and recommendable in the region

Improving the nutritional status of plants is an effective method for enhancing their ability to withstand drought stress. To evaluate the quantitative, qualitative, and antioxidant properties of castor plant under water deficit conditions stress and foliar application of chemical fertilizers, an experiment was conducted as a split-plot design in a completely randomized block design with three replications. The first factor was irrigation levels including control (normal irrigation), irrigation after 80 mm and 140 mm evaporation from the pan evaporation in the main plots, and eight spraying chemical fertilizers (sulfur, potassium, nitrogen, sulfur+potassium, sulfur+nitrogen, potassium+nitrogen, sulfur+potassium+ nitrogen and control (no spraying)) were included in subplots. The highest proline content, catalase, peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, and total phenol were obtained under irrigation after 140 mm of evaporation conditions and foliar application of nitrogen+potassium+sulfur. Also, the highest grain yield, oil yield, and the lowest oil percentage were observed in the nitrogen+potassium foliar treatment under irrigation conditions after 20 mm of evaporation. Although the content of malondialdehyde increased in water deficit stress treatments, nitrogen+potassium+sulfur and nitrogen+potassium foliar application significantly reduced the peroxidation of membrane lipids (malondialdehyde) under irrigation conditions after 80 and 140 mm of evaporation compared to the control treatment. In conclusion, foliar application of chemical fertilizers in castor can improve the resistance to water stress by strengthening the antioxidant system and then increase its grain and oil yield.

This research was carried out in order to evaluate the biochemical and agronomic traits of dryland chickpea intercropped with dragon’s head in Saqqez city (Kurdistan province). It was conducted as a factorial split-plot experiment, arranged in a randomized complete block design, with three replications during the 2021-2022 cropping year. Treatments included three planting times (autumn, expecting, and spring) as first factor, three chickpea cultivars (Saral, Nosrat, and Anna) as second factor and five cultivation patterns [(pure chickpea), (25% L. iberica: 100% chickpea), (50% L. iberica: 100% chickpea), (75% L. iberica: 100% chickpea), and pure L. iberica cultivation (100% L. iberica). The highest leaf chlorophyll a and b contents were obtained in winter with intercropping of %100 Nosrat chickpea + %50 L. iberica and planting ratio (%100 chickpea +% 25 L. iberica), respectively. The highest leaf carotenoid content was obtained in spring with planting ratio of %100 Saral chickpea + %75 L. iberica. The highest water use efficiency was obtained in winter, in the Nosrat variety, and in pure cultivation. The land equivalent ratio in all intercropping patterns was more than one, which showed the superiority of L. iberica and chickpea intercropping compared to pure cropping.
