Salinity causes disturbance in symbiotic performance of plants, and increases susceptibility of plants to soil-borne pathogens. Endophytic bacteria are an essential determinant of cross-tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses in plants. The aim of this study was to isolate non-rhizobial endophytic bacteria from the root nodules of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), and to assess their ability to i...

Soil physicochemical properties are the main driving factors affecting stability and diversity of soil microbial community. The impacts saline–alkali situation associated degradation need to be understood reversed as communities increasingly affected by saline–alkaline soil. However, differences between salinization alkalization their impact on microbiota have been overlooked. object this study...

the aim of this research was to evaluate some soil physical quality indicators using remotely sensed date, gis and geostatistical methods in baft area that is one of the most important centers of agricultural production in kerman province. therefore, soil samples were collected from 0 to 20cm depth of 183 points based on regular sampling pattern (every 250 meters) and soil physical indicators i...

Biochar is a product for the recycling and utilization of solid waste from agriculture forestry, has more voids larger specific surface area, widely used improving saline-alkaline soil. Saline-alkaline soil key factor limiting crop growth. The research changes in environment caused by biochar application are great significance sustainable This article summarizes progress on improvement biochar,...

Many soil remote sensing applications rely on narrow-band observations to exploit molecular absorption features. However, broadband sensors are invaluable for soil surveying, agriculture, land management and mineral exploration, amongst others. These sensors provide denser time series compared to high-resolution airborne imaging spectrometers and hold the potential of increasing the observable ...

irrigation with saline water needs to the different managements to reduce the harmful effects of salinity on plants, soil and the environment. simulation models are the useful tool to irrigation management in conditions of soil and water salinity because, they can predict crop yield and soil conditions considering to different climate, plant and management practices. in this study, the saltmed ...

The paper has the goal to evaluate if the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE)applied using thematic paper maps and a DEM is sufficient to generate a model to map and predict the influences on the environment caused by soil erosion on Loess Plateau. Factors of USLE R, K, S, L, P as well as C were adapted to the test area, the Nihe Gou catchment in Chunhua County in Shaanxi. Afterwards the parame...

Soil-transmitted helminths (Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura and hookworm) negatively impact the health and wellbeing of hundreds of millions of people, particularly in tropical and subtropical countries, including Brazil. Reliable maps of the spatial distribution and estimates of the number of infected people are required for the control and eventual elimination of soil-transmitted he...
