In this study, leaching experiments were carried out by both continuous and alternate ponding methodsin the south of Khouzestan province. In equal applied water leaching, alternate ponding leachingmodel had a better performance than continuous ponding method in desalinization and dealkalization.In term of alternate method,there was not ayn difference between 5 and 8 day periods in one-meterdept...

Plants grown on sodic soils can suffer from macronutrient deficiencies, such as calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and potassium (K), reducing health growth. Nutrient concentrations in plant tissue could potentially provide a signal to identify cultivars tolerant conditions. However, conventional approaches diagnosing crop nutrient chlorophyll status involve determining total elemental content tissu...

A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of graded doses biochar and fertility levels with without biofertilizer under partially reclaimed Sodic Soils on maize crop during Kharif, 2021 2022 at Students Instructional Farm Acharya Narendra Deva University Agriculture Technology, Kumarganj Ayodhya. The eight treatments viz. T1: Control, T2: 100% (RDF 100:60:40; N P2O5, K2O), T3: 50%...

SOIL pore space and its intrinsic characteristics such as surface area, roughness, tortuosity, and connectivity are probably the most important factors controlling water and solute movement in soils. Interaggregate porosity is the result of the arrangement of the soil aggregates. These aggregates are composed of subunits, of which clay minerals and other colloids are the main components. The wa...

Sodic soil is one of the most common problems of limiting agricultural production that related on irrigation. Saturated hydraulic conductivity is one of hydrodynamic characteristics in evaluating transmission flow through underground levels. To investigate the role of increment of exchangeable sodium in hydraulic conductivity changes (as characterized by the mobility of water in soil) an experi...

In this study, an integrated in situ remediation technique which couples electrokinetics with adsorption, using locally produced granular activated carbon from date palm pits in the treatment zones that are installed directly to bracket the contaminated soils at bench-scale, is investigated. Natural saline-sodic clay soil, spiked with contaminant mixture (kerosene, phenol, Cr, Cd, Cu, Zn, Pb, a...

Production of grain legumes is severely reduced in salt-affected soils because their ability to form and maintain nitrogen-fixing nodules is impaired by both salinity and sodicity (alkalinity). Genotypes of chickpea, Cicer arietinum, with high nodulation capacity under stress were identified by field screening in a sodic soil in India and subsequently evaluated quantitatively for nitrogen fixat...
