Phenamiphos, ethoprop, and carbofuran each at 6.7 kg a.i./ha were applied to squash, southern pea, and corn via injection into a sprinkler irrigation system. This method was then compared with a conventional application of phenamiphos and ethoprop granules spread on the soil surface and incorporated into the top 15 cm for control of Macroposthonia ornata and Meloidogyne incognita. Nematode popu...

Soil surface electrochemical properties may have a strong influence on nitrifying microorganisms, Hþ and NH4 þ activities, and therefore on the nitrification process. A gradient of surface electrochemical parameters was obtained by amendment of a subtropical acid pine soil (Oxisol) with 0% (control), 3%, 5%, 8%, 10% and 12% pure Ca-Montmorillonite by weight. The Hþ and NH4þ activities, the abun...

Investigations on the impact of application of biosolids for land reclamation on C sequestration in soil were conducted at Fulton County, Illinois, where 41 fields (3.6-66 ha) received biosolids at a cumulative loading rate from 455 to 1654 dry Mg ha(-1) for 8 to 23 yr in rotation from 1972 to 2004. The fields were cropped with corn, wheat, and sorghum and also with soybean and grass or fallowe...

LIFE+ project “Strategies to improve and protect soil quality from the disposal of olive oil mills’ wastes (OOMW) in the Mediterranean-PROSODOL” aims towards the development and application of technologies for the protection, improvement and remediation of soils which are polluted from the disposal of olive oil mill's wastes. In this effort, several geospatial application tools were presented a...

Efforts have increased to measure nitrate losses from farmland under different management practices due to environmental and public concerns over levels of nitratenitrogen (NO3-N) in surface and ground waters. This study evaluated the effect of conventional tillage (CT) and strip tillage (ST) practices and three N application rates on NO3-N concentrations in soil water at a 76 cm depth under ir...

Following the launch of the European Space Agency’s Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission on 2 November 2009, SMOS soil moisture products need to be rigorously validated at the satellite’s approximately 45 km scale and disaggregation techniques for producing maps with finer resolutions tested. The Australian Airborne Cal/val Experiments for SMOS (AACES) provide the basis for one of th...

the presented study aimed at investigating the effect of foliar application of amino acids and nano particles and chelated iron on photosynthetic pigments and yield of potato. to this end a factorial experiment was carried out in the form of randomized complete block design with three replications in 2013, in the research field of natural resources institute in damavand, iran. the first factor ...
