An investigation was under taken to study the soil fertility status of major nutrients, micronutrients and mapping in Ramasamudram-1 microwatershed Yadgir taluk district Karnataka, India during year 2019. Total seventy-four grid wise surface samples were collected at 320 m interval 0-15 cm depth assess parameters (texture, pH, EC, OC, available P, K, S, Zn, Cu, Fe, Mn B) prepare maps through GI...

Crop coefficients (Kc) are important for the development of irrigation schedules, but few studies on Kc focus on saline soils. To propose the growth-stage-specific Kc values for sunflowers in saline soils, a two-year micro-plot experiment was conducted in Yichang Experimental Station, Hetao Irrigation District. Four salinity levels including non-salinized (ECe = 3.4–4.1 dS·m–1), low (ECe = 5.5–...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) colonize land plants in every ecosystem, even extreme conditions such as saline soils. In the present work we report for the first time the mycorrhizal status and the vertical fungal distribution of AMF spores present in the rhizospheric soil samples of four species of Chenopodiaceae (Allenrolfea patagonica, Atriplex argentina, Heterostachys ritteriana and Sua...

Groundwater is the main water resource for plant growth and development in the saline soil of the Yellow River Delta in China. To investigate the variabilities and distributions of soil water and salt contents at various groundwater level (GL), soil columns with planting Tamarix chinensis Lour were established at six different GL. The results demonstrated the following: With increasing GL, the ...

However, they played an important role in the understanding of soil properties and land use planning, and came later to provide a useful basis for national soil mapping. The geological surveys gave rise to the so-called Quaternary and Petrological Maps, the first one being published 1857. The maps show mineralogy and texture and genesis of the parent material, e.g. texture of glacial till and w...

The increase in soil salinity due to human-induced processes poses a severe threat agriculture on regional and global scale. Soil salinization caused by natural anthropogenic factors is vital environmental hazard, specifically semi-arid arid regions of the world. detection monitoring are critical sustainability management. current study compared performance machine learning models produce spati...

Soil salinity is a major abiotic stress adversely affecting plant growth and crop production worldwide. Increased salinization of arable land is expected to have destructive universal effects, resulting in 30 % land loss within the next 25 years and up to 50 % by the middle of twenty-first century (Porcel et al. 2012; Kapoor et al. 2013; Abdel Latef and Chaoxing 2014). The term ‘‘salinity’’ ref...

Dust is a common atmospheric phenomenon in Iran especially in central arid regions.  This severely affects environment as well as resident’s health. Among the results of this phenomenon are Respiratory diseases, bash radiation, accelerated soil erosion, Desertification and degradation of ecosystems. Some dusts are originated from local desert conditions but adjacency to neighboring countries de...
