چکیده
application of soil conditioners for remediation of saline- sodic soils is one of the common methods for improving soil properties in arid and semi-arid regions. in order to study the effect of soil conditioners on retention of soil moisture content, an experiment was carried out based on randomized complete block design with three replications in a saline-sodic sandy clay loam soil. the treatments of this research were consisted of control (b), 10 t.ha-1 gypsum powder (g), 10 t.ha-1 municipal compost (c), 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2% of vinylalcoholacrylic acid super absorbent (s1, s2 and s3), and mixtures of different levels of absorbent with compost, and or gypsum powder. after four months, gravimetric water contents in each treatment were measured at nine matric suctions, then available water content (awc) was calculated. the results showed that experimental treatments incresed water content in all matric suctions significantly (p≤0.05). the amounts of soil moisture in s1 treatment at 0 (θs) and 5 bar matric suctions were 90.67 and 94% more than b treatment, respectively, which they were the highest contents among experimental treatments. at field capacity (0.3 bar suction), cs1, s1 and cs2 treatments had the most effect on soil moisture retention, and the amounts of soil moisture in these treatments were about 73% higher than of b treatment. also, at permanent wilting point (pwp) s1 and cs3 treatments increased soil moisture by 1.6 and 1.42 times more than b treatment. in addition, when mixture of 10 t.ha-1 compost, 0.2% of absorbent was applied to soil, the highest amounts of awc was obtained and it was 63% more than of b treatment. in addition, application of soil conditioner increased air capacity significantly up to critical limit (0.10 m3 m-3). according to the results of this study it can be concluded the mixture of super absorbent in combination with gypsum powder is a suitable solution for retaining more soil moisture content and reducing the evaporation in arid and semi arid area.

15 صفحه اولImproving Soil Physical Indicators by Soil Amendment to a Saline-Sodic Soil
The application of organic amendments can be an appropriate solution to reclaim and improve physical propertiesof saline-sodic soils. In this research, an experiment was performed under greenhouse conditions to study the effect ofamendments to the physical properties of loamy saline-sodic soil. The five treatments were control (withoutamendment), municipal solid waste compost (MC), vermicompost...
متن کاملStability of a Calcareous Saline-Sodic Soil During Reclamation
General guidelines to reclaim saline or sodic soils do not adequately consider variables such as pH and the presence of organic matter that are known to affect soil stability. Poor structural stability of sodic, saline-sodic, and high-pH soils adversely influences crop yields; promotes piping, tunneling, and slope erosion; and can accelerate the failure of water conveyance systems. We evaluated...
