The spatial variability of preferential pathways for water and chemical transport in a field soil, as visualized through dye infiltration experiments, was studied by applying multifractal and wavelet transform analysis (WTA). After dye infiltration into a 4 m2 plot located on a Vertisol soil near College Station, Texas, horizontal planes in the subsoil were exposed at 5 cm intervals, and dye st...

Vertisols present edaphic limiting factors primarily of a physical nature. The study their hydropedology, supported by multivariate techniques, is vital importance. work was developed with the objective determining, through analysis, hydropedological behavior Chromic Vertisol under different plant covers. In areas natural grass, sugarcane, and secondary forest, belonging to Holguín Sugarcane Pr...

Improving soil fertility is one of the most common practices in agricultural productivity for all crops. Teff [Eragrostistef(Zucc.) Trotter] is the major indigenous cereal crop of Ethiopia, where it was originated and diversified. It is a highly demanded and a staple food grain for 60-65% of the Ethiopian people. In a country of over 80 million people, teff accounts for about 15% of all calorie...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of organic (cattle manure) and inorganic fertilizers [composite NPK (15:15:15)] and natural zeolites on soil properties, vegetative growth and yield of apple plants grown on vertisol under Cacak conditions (Western Serbia). The results showed that the combined fertilization induced a decrease in acidity, an increase in humus content, a p...
