The rice/cassava rotation is one of the dominant rice-based cropping systems in western Côte d'Ivoire due to inaccessibility chemical fertilisers. low productivity this system makes it necessary think about improving agronomic performance. objective study determine effect on parameters these crops. To achieve objective, an trial was set up at CNRA Research Station Man a Ferralsol. Five sequence...

Soil compaction negatively impacts soil physical functions, affecting root growth and crop yield. This study aimed to evaluate different soybean cultivars’ agronomic physiological performance as a function of in Rhodic Ferralsol under no-tillage (NT) with clay loam texture the Brazilian Cerrado biome. The experiment was implemented Rio Verde, Goias state, central Brazil. experimental design ran...

Soil quality decline represents a significant constraint on the productivity and sustainability of agriculture in the tropics. In this study, the influence of biochar, compost and mixtures of the two on soil fertility, maize yield and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions was investigated in a tropical Ferralsol. The treatments were: 1) control with business as usual fertilizer (F); 2) 10 t ha(-1) bio...

Land use change is one of the most important determinants carbon storage and dynamics in ecosystems. Areas proximity metropoles undergo land changes but are poorly studied for their soil biomass budget, especially Africa. Close to Benin's economic capital, Lama Territory located on Allada Plateau subject high demographic urbanization pressures. Carbon (C) stocks region likely be rapidly changin...

In Western Africa, the growth of cities has led to natural resource pollution, especially air pollution. Urban forests play a key role in filtering atmospheric particles and pollutants through canopy before reaching soil. This study aims quantify heavy metal fluxes an urban forest district Abidjan order assess its protection resources. A monitoring wet deposition (throughfall open field rain) l...

In Brazil, the degradation of nutrient-poor Ferralsols limits productivity and drives agricultural expansion into pristine areas. However, returning agricultural residues to the soil in a stabilized form may offer opportunities for maintaining or improving soil quality, even under conditions that typically promote carbon loss. We examined the use of biochar made from filtercake (a byproduct of ...
