The quality of roadside soil along the NH3 highway of high traffic density at MorenaM.P. was studied during 2010-11 at 12 different locations. The roadside soil was found to be highly contaminated. This is evident from the modification of the soil pH, Electrical conductance, Water holding capacity and other Physico-chemical properties when compared to natural soil. The presence of heavy metals ...

the study comparatively assessed the impacts of farm activities on the abundance and diversity of soil arthropods and soil physico-chemical parameters of the practical year training programme (pytp) farmlands, university of ibadan, south western nigeria. soil arthropods were collected from september, 2010 to february, 2011 in five sampling sites of pytp farmlands using berlese tullgren extracti...

in order to study the effects of climate and geomorphology on the development of soils and their physico-chemical peroperties, two transects on the loess parent material were selected in two regions of golestanprovince. the regions were: huttan (maraveh tappeh area) and gorgan with aridic-thermic and xeric-thermic soil moisture and temperature regimes, respectively. four pedons in hutan and fiv...

The effect of soil properties like adsorption, desorption, movement and distribution of endosulfan (1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 7-hexachlorobicyclo (2, 2, 1)-2-heptene-5, 6-bisoxymethlene sulfite) in two tropical soils, sandy loam and sandy clay soil from Mysore, Karnataka state were studied respectively. The results indicated that soils with different physico-chemical properties have different effects on t...

the oil extracted from three major canola cultivars (hyolla401, hyolla420 and rgs003) grown in golestan province was analyzed for physico-chemical properties, fatty acid composition, minerals content, and stability during 16 weeks of storage. according to the results, the highest iodine value and refractive index belonged to hyolla401. the highest saponification value was observed in hyolla420....

the location of extracellular enzyme activities in soil aggregates can be influenced by slope position. this study aims to determine the effect of slope position on aggregate distribution of organic c and l-glutaminase activity. the soils were collected from different slope positions (shoulder, backslope, footslope and toeslope) at two pasture ecosystems (fereydoonshahr and chelgerd, central ir...

Extreme nature of climate and topographical conditions may affect soil properties at cold desert high altitude. Hence, the present investigation was undertaken to know altitudinal variations in soil physico-chemical properties at cold desert high altitude region. For this, agriculture soils were collected from different altitude viz. site I (1000011000 ft), site II (11000-12000 ft) and site III...
