Saline-sodic soil is one of the major threats to crop growth, production, and quality. Biochar amendment could alleviate adverse impacts saline-sodic stress in crops. However, effect biochar on root morphological, physiological functions, rice yield paddy has not been studied. Here, underlying mechanisms positive effects morphological characteristics functions roots under heavily amended with w...

Abstract In this issue This New Mineral Names has entries for 11 new species, including bohuslavite, fanfaniite, ferrierite-NH4, feynmanite, hjalmarite, kenngottite, potassic-richterite, rockbridgeite-group minerals (ferrirockbridgeite and ferrorockbridgeite), rudabányaite, strontioperloffite.

Due to the increasing demand for conventional sources of potassium (K) and their inaccessibility by African countries, K-rich igneous rocks are increasingly studied as potential alternative sources. In this study, six potassic (syenites trachytes) from Tamazeght, Jbel Boho, Ait Saoun, El Glo’a regions (Morocco) were sampled characterized. Then they hydrothermally treated enhance K release use f...

HIGHLIGHTS Spectral analysis is feasible to identify salinized areas. The most saline areas are lowlands with deficiency of natural drainage. studied soils in surface and saline-sodic subsurface.

, Abstract Results of the laboratory reclamation of four sodic soils by the high salt water dilution method are reported. The exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP) of all soils was decreased by leaching with solutions of decreasing sodium but constant calcium concentration. Although a final leaching with water of low electrolyte concentration (EC,, < 100 micromhos/cm) did not produce a rapid dec...

Soil sodicity is a significant crop production constraint around the world. Inherited tolerance precursor to pre-breeding and breeding tolerant cultivars. However, high yield per se seasonal variability are potential limitations identify real rather than escape correctly. To minimise this risk, we generated yield, components supporting data at two times of sowing (TOS) 15 lines representing fou...
