The application of organic amendments can be an appropriate solution to reclaim and improve physical propertiesof saline-sodic soils. In this research, an experiment was performed under greenhouse conditions to study the effect ofamendments to the physical properties of loamy saline-sodic soil. The five treatments were control (withoutamendment), municipal solid waste compost (MC), vermicompost...

Land evaluation is imperative for its efficient use in agriculture. Therefore, this study aimed at assessing the suitability of a region West El-Minia cultivating some major crops using geographical information system (GIS). The results focus on allocating space sugar beet and utilizing free period other crops. This exploitation helps to maintain quality land increase fertility by crop rotation...

Charnockitic rocks form extensive orthogneiss plutons in many granulite terranes and are less commonly found in unmetamorphosed plutons, which have formed in various tectonic regimes. Geochemically, clearly igneous charnockites cover nearly the whole range of granite chemistry, from magnesian to ferroan and from calcic to alkalic. Pyroxenes from unmetamorphosed charnockitic rocks have compositi...

rganic matter and clay miner0 als in soils have negatively charged surfaces that act much like cation exchange resins. When more than 15% of the exchange sites are neutralized by Na+ and the final ionic strength of the aqueous extract is less than about 0.04 M, the clays and organic matter are dispersed. Under these conditions, the solution pH is usually greater than 8.4, and carbonate (COi-) a...

A field experiment was carried out to study the changes of soil bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes in saline-sodic soils for different numbers of cultivated years under drip irrigation. The drip irrigation had substantial effects on levels of bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes. With increased number of cultivated years under drip irrigation, the soil biological properties were greatly improved. A...
