Post-disturbance rangeland restoration efforts are often thwarted due to soil moisture deficits. Superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) absorb hundreds of times their weight in water, increasing when the SAP is mixed with soil. The objective this study was evaluate banded SAPs under surface increase plant available water and thus seedling establishment for perennial species during efforts. Five glassho...

In order to study the effect of irrigation interval, N fertilizer and superabsorbent on yield and qualitative traits of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.), a split-split-plot experiment was coducted in a farm in Khusf of Birjand, Iran in 2009 on the basis of a Randomized Complete Block Design. The main plot was devoted to irrigation interval at three levels of 6, 12 and 18 days, the sub-plot was devot...

The most important and sensitive level in the modification of rangelands surrounding the mine is the initial seedling establishment of plants, which often faces failure due to adverse environmental conditions, poor soil nutrients, disturbance of soil different layers and its instability and unstable soil around the mines. New methods of rangeland improvement using biological and non-biological ...

In this study, TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl)-oxidized nanocellulose superabsorbents are prepared using three different drying techniques: freeze-dried, and oven-dried at low high temperatures. The benefits investigated by evaluating the superabsorbent structure, composition application rate. absorption performance of is affected concentration type salts in soil water extracts. Ov...
