        To investigate the effect of nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients from organic and chemical fertilizers sources, on their efficiency in purslane, a field experiment based on complete randomized block design was conducted at the Research Farm of Shahrekord University in 2014. Treatments were 13 t.ha-1 broiler litter (T1), 14.4 t.ha-1 broiler litter (T2), 39 t.ha-1 cattle manure (T3), 16.8 t.ha-1 cattle manure + 150 kg.ha-1 urea (T4), four chemical fertilizer levels equivalent to organic manure treatments, 260+86 kg.ha-1 urea +triple super phosphate, respectively (T5), 287+100 kg.ha-1 urea + triple super phosphate, respectively (T6), 260+200 kg.ha-1 urea + triple super phosphate, respectively (T7), 260+100 kg.ha-1 urea + triple super phosphate, respectively (T8) and control (T0). The results showed that T2 treatment produced 8345 kg.ha-1 of dry matter as compared with those of other fertilizer treatments (P<0.05). This indicate that nitrogen and phosphorus efficiencies in T2 treatment were significantly higher than other treatments (P<0.05). In the mean time, nitrogen efficiency in T5 and T7 were not significantly different. However, phosphorus efficiency in T2 (52.6 %) indicated significant difference as compared with the other treatments. Nitrogen physiological efficiency of treatment in T2 (35.02 kg.kg-1) and T8 (31.6 kg.kg-1), and also P physiological efficiency in T1 and T5 were not significantly different. As a whole, the higher N physiological efficiency and also physiological efficiency of phosphorus in broiler litter reflect the ecological role of organic manure application in the production of purslane. This can also help environmental protection, as well as preventing loss of resources and phosphorus accumulation in the cropland soils.   Manuscript profile

        In order to investigate the effects of fertilizer sources and intercropping ratio on elements concentration in forage of fennel and sainfoin plants, a split plot experiment was conducted as randomized complete block design with three replications at Shahrekord Universit More
        In order to investigate the effects of fertilizer sources and intercropping ratio on elements concentration in forage of fennel and sainfoin plants, a split plot experiment was conducted as randomized complete block design with three replications at Shahrekord University research farm during the 2015 and 2016. Five fertilizer sources (manure fertilizer 100%, chemical 25%+ manure 75%, chemical 50%+ manure 50%, chemical 75%+ manure 25%, chemical fertilizer 100%), and sole cropping of fennel (F), and sole cropping of sainfoin (S), and three intercropping ratio (include fennel 75%+ sainfoin25%, fennel 50%+ sainfoin 50% and fennel 25%+ sainfoin 75%) were also considered. The results showed that the highest nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, and iron, manganese and copper concentrations were related to the chemical fertilizer in both fennel and sainfoin plants. The highest potassium concentration of fennel in both years was related to chemical fertilizer with 31.4 mg g-1 in 25% fennel + 75% of sainfoin, and increased by15% in the first year and 10% in the second year as compared to 100% manure fertilizer treatment. Also, the highest nitrogen concentration of sainfoin in the first and second years was related to the monocropping of sainfoin under chemical fertilizer with 38.5 and 39.9 mg g-1, respectively. Therefore, it can be concluded that the chemical fertilizer alone or the combination of manure with chemical fertilizer due to the gradual mineralization of the elements, access to and more of the elements required by the plant in monocropping and intercropping can be play an important role in the absorption and nutrition concentration of plant and increase yield.
