Effects of Enriched-Biochar on Phosphorus Adsorption Behavior in Saline and Non-Saline Soils Lake Urmia Basin

Excessive soil salinity is a problem that makes unusable for agriculture, and most current research focuses on either chemical supplements or water conservation measures. Nevertheless, more information needed about how sand treatment affects quality. In this study, field experiment assessed the effect of application cropping year properties in an arid semi-arid saline-sodic agricultural ecosyst...

Increased Na+ ions negatively affect soil physicochemical characteristics. We ran a pot incubation experiment for 2 months and leaching another to monitor the effects of nano-gypsum (NG, <100 nm) in low affordable doses on improving saline-sodic Treatments included control (CK), conventional gypsum (CG; ≤ 0.5 mm) at 100% CG requirement (8.9 t ha−1: CGR), three NG (240, 480 960 kg ha−1 = 2.7%, 5...

The effect of soil salinity on the growth and competition among Helianthus paradoxus, H. annuus, and H. petiolaris was examined in a greenhouse experiment to determine the role competition might have in leading to the narrow endemism of H. paradoxus. Helianthus paradoxus (the Pecos sunflower or puzzle sunflower) is a threatened annual species that is federally listed and only found in a few are...

In clayey, swelling and more or less sodic soils, cultivation and seasonal climatic cycles induce variations in soil moisture which in turn cause variations in the soil structure. In particular, when the soil profile is saturated, some soils become impermeable because the soil porosity value does not remain sufficiently high throughout the drainage period to be effective for water movement. In ...

A field experiment was conducted during 2013-14 to 2015-16 at Central Soil Salinity Research Institute, Regional Station, Lucknow find out the alternate rice (Oryza sativa L.)- wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cropping system under partially reclaimed sodic soils. Four systems, viz. L.), sorghum (Sorghum bicolor)-berseem (Trifolium alexandrinum), sweet basil (tulsi) (Ocimum basilicum L.)-matricaria...
