The results of investigation of nutrient status in vineyards of Ćemovsko polje are shown in this paper. In order to provide a more reliable basis for the definition of relationships between grapevine (nutrients in leaf petiole – P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Cu and Zn) and soil properties (pH, total carbonates, humus (organic matter), exchangeable Mg and available P, K, Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu), factor and c...

[1] Fish have been shown to produce high (10 to 48 mol %) magnesium calcite as part of the physiological mechanisms responsible for maintaining salt and water balance. The importance of this source to the marine carbon cycle is only now being considered. In this paper, we report the first measurements of the solubility of this CaCO3 in seawater. The resulting solubility (pK*sp = 5.89 0.09) is a...

Fifty one soil samples werecallected from some wadis i.e.,(El Sheikh Soliman,Sidri,El-Arishia and Bodra) of AduRudeis district, which is lies between mountain chains. These were collected to determined their physical chemical properties assess total available contents Fe, Mn, Zn Cu in a fairly intanse sampling scheme.The results indicate that the texture class varies sandy clay loam, The conten...

introduction: reuse of wastewater for agricultural irrigation is increasing due to an increased demand for water resources in different parts of the world. almost 70% of deviated water from rivers and pumped groundwater is used for agriculture. if wastewater is used for irrigation in agriculture, then the amount of discharged water from natural sources will be decreased and the flow of wastewat...

Soil water content is one of the most important parameters for estimating irrigation frequency and providing the plant’s water requirement. Since measurement of soil water content is both expensive and time consuming, water movement models are used to estimate these values. In this study, LEACHW model was used to estimate soil water content for two “dry” (20-29 Aug) and “wet” (1-6 Jul) periods ...

Study of soil properties like field capacity (F.C) and permanent wilting point (P.W.P) plays important roles in study of soil moisture retention curve. Pedotransfer functions (PTFs) provide an alternative by estimating soil parameters from more readily available soil data. In this study, a new approach is proposed as a modification to a standard fuzzy modeling method based on the table look-up ...

skidding operations can cause considerable and wide spread soil disturbance. the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of ground skidding operations on soil compaction, moisture content, and total porosity at different levels of slope and traffic frequency. four levels of traffic intensity (3, 8, 13, and >13 passes of a crawler tractor onezhets ? 110) and three levels of slope ( 2...

within-field variation of wheat yield and spatial pattern of weed density and soil nitrogen were evaluated by geostatistical methods. samples were taken from a 90×120 m area located in a 3.8 ha wheat field. soil nitrogen content and weed density at tillering and wheat yield at maturity were measured in 1 m2 plots located at the center of 10×10 m grids. grain yield was varied between 1.5-4.9 t h...

Physical, chemical and biological attributes of soil surface are significantly affected by tillage practices and crop rotation. The objective of this study was to determine the short-term (2006-2009) effects of conventional and conservational tillage practices on selected soil physical properties of a heavy clay soil under two wheat-corn and wheatlegume rotation in a semi-arid Mediterranean...
