Salinization of agricultural areas due to intensive practices and irrigation is an important feature limiting crop yield and productivity. Inhibition of plant growth and even plant death by salinity is due to a reduction in water availability, sodium ion accumulation and mineral imbalances. In this context, ROS will be produced in both SALT STRESS AND GLUTATHIONE-DEPENDENT ENZYME ACTIVITIES IN ...

Irrigation-induced salinization is an important land degradation process that affects crop yield in the Brazilian semi-arid region, and gypsum has been used as a corrective measure for saline soils. Fluvent soil samples (180) were treated with increasing levels of salinization of NaCl, MgCl2 and CaCl2. The salinity was gauged using electrical conductivity (EC). Gypsum was added to one split of ...

The main aim of smart cities is to achieve the sustainable use of resources. In order to make the correct use of resources, an accurate monitoring and management is needed. In some places, like underground aquifers, access for monitoring can be difficult, therefore the use of sensors can be a good solution. Groundwater is very important as a water resource. Just in the USA, aquifers represent t...
