Leymus chinensis and Leymus secalinus are perennial rhizome grasses; photosynthetic physiological characteristics were compared between them in Sandy and Saline-Alkaline Soils on the Songnen Plains of China. The contents of chlorophyll and soluble saccharides were positively correlated with photosynthetic characteristics. The photosynthetic capacity of L. chinensis was significantly greater tha...

A non-sodic, non-saline sandy loam soil was salinized to anion-cation ratios similar to those naturally occurring in Iraq and California. The interactions of saline soils (conductivities 4, 8, 12 and 16 mmhos/cm) with a moderately salt-tolerant plant (Lycopersicon esculentum 'Marimond') and a plant parasitic nematode (Meloidogyne javanica) were investigated. Plant parasitic nematodes were shown...

soil salinity has been a large problem in arid and semi arid regions. preparation of such maps is useful for natural resource managers. old methods of preparing such maps require a lot of time and cost. multi-spectral remotely sensed dates due to the broad vision and repeating of these imageries is suitable for provide saline soil maps. this investigation is conducted to provide saline soil map...

This study was carried out on saline soils of Sahl El-Houssinia, El-Sharkia Governorate to evaluate three different water sources as a leaching and irrigation water in these soils and their use effect on some trace elements accumulation in the different soil layers. The using water sources were Bahr El-Bakar drain, Bahr Hadoos drain and El-Salam canal. These sources were used in the leaching th...

It is known that in vermicomposting soil layer in bedding of the reactor helps in earthworm biomass growth and reproduction but growth is influenced by soil characteristics such as texture, pH, and water holding capacity. The present study was conducted to asses the influence of soils on earthworm biomass growth and reproduction during the vermicomposting of source separated human faeces. The s...

A field experiment was carried out to study the changes of soil bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes in saline-sodic soils for different numbers of cultivated years under drip irrigation. The drip irrigation had substantial effects on levels of bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes. With increased number of cultivated years under drip irrigation, the soil biological properties were greatly improved. A...

Climate change accentuates abiotic stress conditions putting at risk several commercial cultivars particularly vulnerable to salinity in the early stages of development, which makes adopting new technologies tune with environment necessary mitigate its impact. In this study, we tested possible effects a biostimulant (BALOX®) on enhancing salt tolerance salt-treated tomato plants, analysing plan...
