Pedotransfer functions to estimate proctor test parameters under different tillage systems

Study of Pedotransfer Functions Multivariate regression, MLP and RBF to estimate CEC for Soils of North Ahvaz

To estimate the Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC), indirect manner used of Pedotransfer Functions (PTFs). CEC is one of the important soil fertility factors, and not measured directly because it is costly and time consuming. Thus, used from regression equations between easily and non-easily soil properties. The purpose of this research, is develop the PTFs for CEC, with use of easily available soi...

Allometric relationship between some morpho-physiological characteristics of corn under different tillage systems and sowing dates

ABSTRACT- Field experiments were conducted to determine the relationship between plant leaf area as the dependent variable with leaves number, leaf dry weight, and total vegetative components dry weight and plant height as the independent variables. Treatments were two tillage systems (conventional and no-tillage) as main plots, and seven sowing dates (11 May, 18 May, 25 May, 1...

Soil Physical Properties Due to Different Tillage Systems in Dryland Regions of Northwestern Iran

Lack of sufficient information on conservation tillage systems leads to the dominating use of conventional tillage practice in most parts of Iran. Testing other management practices may help in decision making regarding the types of tillage systems that reduce soil deterioration. A three- years field experiment was conducted to study the effects of conventional (CT), reduced (RT) and no-till (N...

Estimating Hydraulic Conductivity Using Pedotransfer Functions

derivation of pedotransfer function to estimate parameters of double-exponential equation for soil water retention curve

soil water retention curve is one of the crucial input parameters in any modeling study on water flow and solute transport in soils. direct measurement of soil water retention curve is time-consuming and costly. alternatively, pedotransfer functions (ptfs) may be used to indirectly estimate the soil water retention curve from easily measured soil properties. many equations for the soil water re...
