-Eleven sources of loblolly pine were studied for genetic variation in waterlogging tolerance and physiological responses to waterlogging. There were source differences in both though there were no correlations between them. Additional keywords: Pinus taeda, progeny tests, flooding, anaerobic metabolism The purposes of this study were to determine: a) if there was interspecific genetic variatio...

Many people consider earthworms to be an indicator of soil quality because they respond to and contribute to healthy soil. For earthworms to be abundant, a field must meet several conditions that are also associated with soil quality and agricultural sustainability: moderate pH, surface residue for food and protection, and soil that is not waterlogged, compacted, droughty, or excessively sandy....

Treatments of organic objects to extract ferrous compounds from waterlogged archaeological wood are well documented. For several years, numerous laboratories have been seeking determine suitable conservation treatments for such objects. chemical treatments, complexing agents as EDTA and DTPA, along with acids citric oxalic acids, were selected. In addition, oxidants reducing tested pre-treatmen...

Waterlogged paddy soils possess anoxic zones in which microbes actively induce reductive nitrogen transformation (RNT). In the present study, a shotgun RNA sequencing analysis (metatranscriptomics) of paddy soil samples revealed that most RNT gene transcripts in paddy soils were derived from Deltaproteobacteria, particularly the genera Anaeromyxobacter and Geobacter. Despite the frequent detect...

Rate and Method of Application Apply as a preplant broadcast treatment at least 14 to 21 days prior to planting. Late summer or early autumn is usually best for applying soil fumigants in Michigan. Inject 8 inches deep with chisels spaced 10 to 12 inches apart when soil temperature is between 50° and 80°F. Seal immediately after application. If soil is waterlogged or temperature is below 60°F, ...
