This research aimed to modify the rotary plow into a bed-making tool. The performance test of tool was carried out on sandy and loamy land by experimental method. dimensions bed including length, width, height as well time are also measured in test. has total length 182 cm, right left sides each 51 width 25 cm 30 cm. four-wheel tractor at distance 10 m m, making performed 5 times. Experimental ...

Ancestral semi-natural meadows, locally called “Lameiros”, are an essential element of the mountain landscapes in Northern Portugal. These meadows are frequently located in areas of high water availability, loamy soils and over 700-800m hight. In association with these meadows can be found traditional irrigation systems, in which the water is applied all year around, to assure the crop water re...

Highlight: Associations among cattle stocking rate, precipitation, and eastern redcedar invasion, and possibly redcedar control measures were investigated. Redcedar numbers generally decreased as stocking rate increased. Precipitation had only a slight effect on invasion rate. Fire, cutting, and fenuron granules appear to effectively kill red cedar. Loamy upland range site consists of soils hav...

Two new species of oribatid mites of the family Galumnidae, Allogalumna monodactyla sp. n. and Galumna (Galumna) paracalcicola sp. n., are described from dark loamy soil under crown of Ficus sp. in southern Vietnam. Allogalumna monodactyla sp. n. is the first identified member of Allogalumna recorded for Vietnam. The identification keys to the species of Allogalumna from the Oriental region and...

Traffic-induced soil compaction and tillage systems can impact the productivity and sustainability of agricultural soils. The objective of this study was to assess the response of soil microbial populations to wheel-traffic in two tillage systems on a Norfolk loamy sand (Typic Kandiudults; FAO classification Luxic Ferralsols). Experimental variables were with and without traffic under conventio...

Abstract Background Leaves constitute a large input of lipids to soil, yet comparatively little is known about the fate leaf in soil. Our aim was explore initial stages degradation lipids, both loss intact lipid and subsequent mineralisation. We focussed on intracellular – triacylglycerols implicated storage, membrane such as phospholipids galactolipids, pigments because they collectively more ...

Land reclamation is a common practice leading to the restoration of areas affected by industrial activity. Soil studies in reclaimed are very useful determine effectiveness works. The goal study was investigate soil properties, mineral composition, total concentrations Zn, Pb, Cd and As chemical forms these elements order assess success land abandoned mine tailing disposal site “Trzebionka” Zn-...

Accurate descriptions of P leaching are important because excess P applied to soils can enter surface water via leaching and subsurface transport, thereby negatively impacting water quality. The objectives of this study were to monitor P leaching in soils with a long-term history of waste application, relate soil solution P concentrations to soil P status, and quantify P leaching losses. Soil s...
