soil compaction reduces growth of secondary roots, soil aeration and water and mineral uptake by plant, and decreases chlorophyll content as well as root yield and sugar content. hence, the effect of soil compaction on sugar beet yield and sugar content farms determined by penetrometer using 40 plots of 100 m2 in 40 sugar beet field of hamedan, asadabad, malayer and bahar at the depth of 0-80 c...

Heavy metal contamination of soil can present dangers besides threats to humans as well the ecosystem via uninterrupted intake or interaction with contaminated and food chain. The purpose this research is examine effectiveness calcined calcium carbide waste (CCCW) in mitigating leachability lead cadmium ions from Evbareke spare parts market Benin City, Edo State Nigeria. Contaminated samples we...

abstract the effect of land use type on soil functioning within an ecosystem can be assessed and monitored using soil quality attributes. such studies, which are carried out to create a balance between the biological production and the maintenance and improvement of land resource quality, provide a framework for land degradation control and also for identification of sustainable management. in ...

abstract information on spatial and temporal variations of soil hydraulic conductivity (k) is essential to improve soil and water management. however several techniques have been proposed for measuring of soil hydraulic conductivity above water surface table, but reliability and easy use of these methods in various conditions were always concern for engineers. the purposes of this study are mea...

soil productivity is generally associated with poor nutrient status and the physical condition of the soil, but the effect of soil mineralogy on soil productivity has received little attention. in this qualitative study, interactions between mineralogy and physico-chemistry and their role on the productivity of two luvisols, an arenosol and a vertisol are investigated. minerals identified in th...

This paper employs one-dimensional numerical ground response analysis models to investigate seismic response of shallow cohesive and non-cohesive soil deposits on vertical propagation of horizontal shear waves. Soil response is modelled by traditional equivalent-linear (EL) frequency-domain analysis using DEEPSOIL software and nonlinear (NL) time-domain analysis using OPENSEES software. The ana...

Soil organic carbon is important for sugarcane production as it plays a significant role in the development of soil aggregates and improvement any agricultural soil, hence increasing health. Increasing matter encourages aggregation slows rate breakdown. act nuclei stabilization with time. It improves attributes by content enhances physical properties that favor water infiltration retention. How...

Tropical regions have been considered the world's primary agricultural frontier; however, some physico-chemical deficiencies, such as low soil organic matter content, poor soil structure, high erodibility, soil acidity, and aluminum toxicity, have affected their productive capacity. Lime and gypsum are commonly used to improve soil chemical fertility, but no information exists about the long-te...
