Objective: Returning crop residue to the soil exerts favorable effects on physical and chemical properties of soil. In fact, the plant residues can affect soil conditions such as pH and important role in soil fertility and cycling of elements in the soil may have. In addition to the role of the organic matter from decomposition of crop residue in increasing the concentration of micronutrients i...

to find the nutritional condition of plants as related to the tatus of soil nutrients, also for an evaluation of soil solution toxicity and nutrition of plants in salt affected soils, it is preferred to study the activity of these elements rather than their concentrations. to calculate the ionic strength of a solution the concentrations of all cations and anions are needed which is very time co...

in this study, plasma electrolytic oxidation of 2024-t3 aluminum alloy was investigated. the electrolyte used in this investigation was an alkaline solution containing additives of silicate, phosphate, potassium hydroxide and glycerin. a conventional dc power source with a low applied voltage was employed. corrosion resistance of the oxide layer was investigated by means of tafel plots and elec...
