Nitrification inhibitors (NIs) can be used to reduce both NO3−-N leaching and N2O-N emissions. However, the comparative efficacies of NIs strongly affected by soil type. Therefore, four nitrification (dicyandiamide (DCD), 3, 4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate (DMPP), nitrogenous mineral fertilizers containing DMPP ammonium stabilizer (ENTEC) active ingredients: 3.00–3.25% 1, 2, 4-triazole 1.50–1.65% ...

The leaching behaviors of enrofloxacin (ENR), a fluoroquinolone group antibiotic, in three different standard soils, namely sandy, loamy sand and sandy loam were investigated according to OECD guideline 312. In addition, the effects of tenside, sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (DBS) on the mobility of ENR in two different soils were studied. The mobility of ENR in all three standard soils was ver...

This study was undertaken with the aim of illuminating the soil-plant interactions of Pistacia lentiscus L., which is a Mediterranean sclerophylleous coastal zone plant in the Western Anatolian part of Turkey. The soil analysis data showed that this plant grows on different kinds of soils such as sandy-clayey-loam, clayey-loam, sandy-loam and loamy texture. Soils are not saline, with pH moderat...

ABSTRACT- To study the effect of tree roots on increasing water infiltration in soil and also to determine and assess the coefficients of different infiltration models, some infiltration tests were performed in three tree plantation areas in Badjgah, Fars province with different soil textures (clay loam for pear plantation, sandy loam for grape plantation, loamy sand for pine trees). In each pl...

Application of biosolid on land has been widespread in numerous countries for last several decades. This study performed incubation experiments by mixing a neutral loamy soil and biosolid enriched in Cu, Pb and Zn to explore how heavy metal affects soil mineralization and microbial biomass. The experimental results indicated that large nutrient, microorganism and C sources from biosolid were be...

This study aimed to determine iodine, selected goitrogens in some grains Sokoto. Related factors were measured clay, loamy, and sandy soils using standard methods reagents of analytical grade. Western zone (WZ) has highest iodine (29 ± 0.01 ppm), then Central Zone (CZ) (26 Eastern (EZ) had (24 ppm). Sandy soil pH (6.55 0.08), clay (5.02 0.06) lastly loamy (4.02 0.05). Organic matter was (7.3±1....

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...
