We report the soil microbial diversity and functional aspects related to degradation of recalcitrant compounds, determined using a metagenomic approach, in a landfill lysimeter prepared with soil from Ghazipur landfill site, New Delhi, India. Metagenomic analysis revealed the presence and functional diversity of complex microbial communities responsible for waste degradation.

Abstract Accurate simulation of evapotranspiration (ET) is essential to enhance efficient irrigation management in the maize field. Here, we evaluated performance four mathematical models for estimating ET maize. The based on surface resistance calculate from different vapor sources, which are Penman‐Monteith (PM) through “big leaf” model, Shuttleworth‐Wallace (SW) model distinguishing between ...

iran was located in the arid belt and desert region of the world. this climatic situation was presented in several parts of iran such as qazvin. evapotranspiration is one the most important parameter which was effect on agricultural development. there are different methods for estimating this item which selected by climatic conditions. this research concentrates to evaluate 28 empirical and com...

for determining sugar beet water requirements, this work was conducted at the  agricultural research station of torog in mashhad for 3 years. crop water requirement was measured by a drainage type lysimeter with dimension of 2*2*1 m. in order to reduce side effects, an area about 1600 m2 around the lysimeter (as a guard) was cultivated with sugar beet. soil water content was measured by tensiom...

Abstract Groundwater is a significant source of plant water use since groundwater consumption plants reduces the volume surface irrigation water. In this study, table effect on hard red spring wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) growth and yield parameters were investigated using lysimeter technique in controlled environment. Three different depths including 30, 60, 90 cm control treatment with teste...
