irrigation management, soil tillage method and fertilizer management play important roles in increasing crop yield and water and solute movement in the soil profile. the present research was conducted to study the effects of a no-tillage system and nitrogen fertilizer on the mineral nitrogen movement and soil moisture under optimum irrigation conditions. the study was conducted at safiabad agri...

petroleum hydrocarbons are among the major organic environmental pollutants whose toxicity and carcinogenicity effects have raised great concerns while the numerous available physical and chemical methods to remove petroleum hydrocarbons are rarely employed due to their extreme costs and harmful side effects, biological methods, including phytoremediation, have attracted wide attention during t...

introduction: nitrogen (n) is one of the most important growth-limiting nutrients for dryland wheat. mineral nitrogen or ammonium (nh4+) and nitrate (no3−) are two common forms of inorganic nitrogen that can serve as limiting factors for plant growth. nitrogen fertilization in dryland area can increase the use of soil moisture, and improve wheat yields to some extent. many researchers have been...

The experiment was carried out in 1999-2001 at the University of Agriculture in Krakow (Poland) to study the capacity of nine crops (red beet, field pumpkin, chicory, bean, barley, white cabbage, maize, alfalfa, and parsnip) to remove cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) from different soil horizons (0-20, 20-40, 40-60 cm). The content of exchangeable Cd, Pb, and Zn decreased along with the de...

the current study was carried out with the aim of evaluating the effects of pressurized and furrow irrigation methods on the distribution of salinity and moisture in the soil profile. the experimental study design was a split plot layout with three irrigation method including furrow, surface drip (sd) and subsurface drip irrigation (ssd) using two water qualities, municipal effluent (0.509 ds/m...
