the application of organic amendments can be an appropriate solution to reclaim and improve physical propertiesof saline-sodic soils. in this research, an experiment was performed under greenhouse conditions to study the effect ofamendments to the physical properties of loamy saline-sodic soil. the five treatments were control (withoutamendment), municipal solid waste compost (mc), vermicompost...

Management systems influence soil quality over time. A randomized block design in 2 (tillage system) 3 (crop rotation) factorial arrangement was laid-out to evaluate the impact of tillage and crop rotation (2002–2007) on soil quality. Conventional tillage and No-till were factored into continuous corn, corn–soybean, and corn–soybean–wheat–Cowpea systems. Ten soil cores were collected at 0–7.5, ...

Soil fertility refers to the ability of soil in a particular area provide favorable chemical, physical and biological characteristics that help plant its growth. It is affected by multiple parameters, from available concentration Nitrogen Organic Carbon soil. This paper discusses implementation an explainable AI (XAI) model based on Random Forest classifier. The developed reliably predicts rela...

a trial study was carried out to assess the influence of the plant residue management in conjuction with application of different nitrogen sources on wheat yield and components, at the agricultural faculty of shahidchamran university of ahvaz during 2011-2012.the experimental design was splitplot at randomized completed block design arrangement. the main plot were different wheat residue manage...

Use of sewage sludge in agriculture is the most convenient practices of sludge disposal. Agriculture can use large and increasing quantities of sludge because it improve soil fertility by increasing the soil organic matter, microbial activity and plant nutrients and by improving the soil physical properties (Stamatiadis et al., 1999). The waste waters are suitable for crop production provided t...

Paddy-upland rotation is an unavoidable cropping system for Asia to meet the increasing demand for food. The reduction in grain yields has increased the research interest on the soil properties of rice-based cropping systems. Paddy-upland rotation fields are unique from other wetland or upland soils, because they are associated with frequent cycling between wetting and drying under anaerobic an...

Conversion of native rainforest ecosystems in Limón Province of Costa Rica to banana and pineapple monoculture has led to reductions in biodiversity and soil quality. Agroforestry management of cacao (Theobroma cacao) is an alternative system that may maintain the agricultural livelihood of the region while more closely mimicking native ecosystems. This study compared physical, biological and c...

lack of sufficient information on conservation tillage systems leads to the dominating use of conventional tillage practice in most parts of iran. testing other management practices may help in decision making regarding the types of tillage systems that reduce soil deterioration. a three- years field experiment was conducted to study the effects of conventional (ct), reduced (rt) and no-till (n...
