Burning of surplus sugarcane trash for land clearing is a common practice followed by the farmers. The ashes generated from burning will results in change physico-chemical properties soils due to their alkaline nature. Ashes, presence unburnt carbon, have exhibited potential adsorb pesticides; therefore, might affect degradation, leaching and sorption pesticides. Atrazine (Atz) fipronil are com...

The sorption of the allelochemical scopoletin (7-hydroxy-6-methoxycoumarin) was studied in eight agricultural soils and different model sorbents. We also determined its degradation selected related results to expression phytotoxicity soil towards two plant species, Eruca vesicaria Hordeum vulgaris. Scopoletin sorbed a greater extent acid than alkaline soils. Correlations with properties indicat...

An intensive investigation was conducted to study the distribution of trace metals in surface soils of Hong Kong and to assess the soil environmental quality. From results of cluster analysis, and comparisons among soil types and areas, it is clearly shown that increases in trace metal concentrations in the soils were generally extensive and obvious in urban and orchard soils, less so in vegeta...

The concentrations of cadmium in agricultural soils depend upon the amounts present in the parent rocks from which the soils form, the amounts added in the form of fertilizers and soil amendments, the amounts deposited onto soils from the atmosphere, and the amounts removed by harvested crops and by leaching. On average, sedimentary rocks contain greater concentrations of Cd than either igneous...

China is a populous agricultural country, the arable land is the most basic resources which is needed for agricultural production, the quality of arable land has a direct impact on the entire agricultural production and development ,so to carry out the Evaluation of Farmland is a very important foundation work which is advantage to know china’s arable land resources and to improve the efficienc...

Degradation of land used in agricultural production is studied. Different use practices influence on the organic carbon content arable soils agrolandscapes arid territories as an example. By example Rostov and Samara regions, existing ownership structure has been analyzed, dynamics sown areas humus It shown that course reform there was a redistribution ownership, which more pronounced regions t...

The rise in the world demand for food poses a challenge to our ability to sustain soil fertility and sustainability. The increasing use of no-till agriculture, adopted in many areas of the world as an alternative to conventional farming, may contribute to reduce the erosion of soils and the increase in the soil carbon pool. However, the advantages of no-till agriculture are jeopardized when its...
