this study was carried out in lorestan silakhoor plain  during 2001-2002. twenty soil properties from 25 profiles were evaluated. profiles studied were entisols and inceptisols. moreover, soil classification resulted in 5 subgroups, 8 families and 17 soil series. in the study, parametric land evaluation method was used. the strong correlation between the land index and observed yield (r = 0.55)...

Influences of soil line variations on two-band vegetation indices (VIs) and their vegetation isolines in red and near-infrared (NIR) reflectance space are investigated based on recently derived relationships between the relative variations of VIs with variations of the soil line parameters in the accompanying paper by Yoshioka et al. [1]. The soil line influences are first demonstrated numerica...

Soil fertility evaluation and management can be greatly improved with the use of precision agriculture technologies. Differential global positioning systems (DGPS), yield monitors, various forms of remote sensing, geographical information system (GIS) computer software, and variable rate technologies are available for use to producers. Intensive soil sampling, crop scouting, and other practices...

Remote sensing provides a capability to make frequent and spatially distributed measurements of surface soil moisture, whilst recent advances in affordable Time Domain Reflectometry probes allow continuous monitoring of profile soil moisture at specific points. We believe that reliable estimation of the spatial and temporal variation of profile soil moisture on a routine basis will require a co...

Elemental analysis has played an important role in the characterization of soils since inception of the soil survey in the US. Recent efforts in analysis of trace and major elements (geochemistry) have provided necessary data to soil survey users in a variety of areas. The first part of this paper provides a brief overview of elemental sources, forms, mobility, and bioavailability; critical asp...

abstract in this study, evaluation of swap model in simulating crop yield, water and salt movement in soil were investigated in the wheat- fodder maize cultivated units. the research was conducted in the voshmgir network, golestan province. the crop yield, soil humidity and moisture data in different times of agriculture year of 2007-2008 were measured. the measured and simulated data were anal...

Laboratory tests were conducted to determine the effect of soil gas oxygen concentration on the degradation and mineralization of spiked C-pyrene and nonspiked 16 priority pollutant polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) present in the soil. The soil used for the evaluation was taken from a prepared bed land treatment unit at the Champion International Superfund Site in Libby, Montana. This so...

Rahman, S., Chen, Y., Zhang, Q. and Lobb, D. 2005. Evaluation methods on manure exposure from liquid manure injection tools. Canadian Biosystems Engineering/Le génie des biosystèmes au Canada 47: 6.9 6.16. Laboratory and field studies were conducted to explore evaluation methods on manure exposure (refer as to manure being not covered by soil, but exposed to the air) for liquid manure injection...
