ABSTRACT

We aimed to identify the sources and prevalence of semen contamination from masturbation and determine the effect of bacterospermia on fertilization rate and embryo quality in standard in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). This was a prospective controlled study, in an IVF unit of a university teaching hospital, of 93 consecutive couples undergoing IVF-embryo ...

Bermudagrass growing on a caged-layer manure-amended site was fertilized with ammonium nitrate at 4 rates (0, 56, 112, and 168 kg N/ha) approximately 1 mo
