Biomass Production and Nutrient Status of Alfalfa (Medicago Sativa L.) In Response to Boron Supply in Sandy Soil Commun. Soil Sci. Plant Anal. (IF 0.767) Pub Date : 2020-12-24 Khalid Dhassi; Abdelhadi Aït Houssa; Kacem Makroum; Fouad Amlal; Mustapha Fagroud; Nassima Darrhal; Chaimae Idrissi; Saad Drissi
ABSTRACT Boron (B) fertilization management of alfalfa, as perennial crop, requires to identify its sensitivity to B and its nutrients status after B supply for different forage harvests. The response of alfalfa to B supply, when grown on a Mediterranean sandy soil, was evaluated at different cuts. The native soil B content was around 0.15 mg kg−1, which was considered as B deficient. 19 cuts were

Salt Stress Induced Morphological, Anatomical and Ionic Alterations in Chickpea Commun. Soil Sci. Plant Anal. (IF 0.767) Pub Date : 2020-12-24 Harleen Kaur Buttar; Ravneet Kaur Badyal; Vinod Kumar; Raghvendra Pratap Singh; Geetanjali Manchanda
ABSTRACT Salinity is a global challenge to agriculture production. Cicer arientinum L. grows under wide range of climatic conditions and is highly sensitive to salt stress. Salt stress causes osmotic, ionic and secondary stress, impairing various metabolic processes in plants and eventually results in a decline in the plant yield. The aim of the present study was to study the effect of salinity on

Determination of Critical Limit for Copper in Soil-Plant and Grain for Predicting Response of Rice to Copper Application in Soil Commun. Soil Sci. Plant Anal. (IF 0.767) Pub Date : 2020-12-24 Peyandi Paraman Mahendran; Samiyappan Kavin; Elangovan Subramanian; Pandian Kannan; Muthuraman Yuvaraj
ABSTRACT In order to identify critical limit of copper (Cu) in soil, grain, and straw of rice plant, soil samples were collected from twenty; 12, 5, and 3 soil locations of low, medium, and high Cu status from Madurai district, Tamil Nadu, India for pot culture experiment. Based on the results of pot culture experiment, the critical limits of Cu established for straw and grain of rice both by graphical

Comparison Quality of Interpolation Methods to Estimate Spatial Distribution of Soil Moisture Content Commun. Soil Sci. Plant Anal. (IF 0.767) Pub Date : 2020-12-24 Tülay Tunçay
ABSTRACT Determining and predicting both the spatial and temporal variability of soil moisture content is a critical factor in crop production in semi-arid agricultural systems. The objective of this research was to predict the spatial distribution of soil moisture content using ordinary kriging (OK), regression kriging (RK) and cokriging (CK) models. For that purpose, the soil moisture was monitored

Integrating Biochar, Rhizobacteria and Silicon for Strenuous Productivity of Drought Stressed Wheat Commun. Soil Sci. Plant Anal. (IF 0.767) Pub Date : 2020-12-22 Muhammad Aown Sammar Raza; imran haider; Muhammad Saleem; Rashid Iqbal; Muhammad Aslam; Salman Ahmad; Salman Haidar Abbasi
ABSTRACT Drought is a detrimental abiotic stress limiting wheat growth and yield. Harmful impacts of drought stress can be ameliorated by the use of different growth enhancers either applied as soil amendment or by the foliar spray. The Present research was conducted under semi-arid conditions at Research area of Agronomy Department, The Islamia University of Bahawalpur, Bahawalpur, Pakistan. Investigations

Short-term effect of compost amendment on the fertility of calcareous soil and basil growth Commun. Soil Sci. Plant Anal. (IF 0.767) Pub Date : 2020-12-22 Ismail Emrah Tavali
ABSTRACT Organic wastes can also be used to increase the amount of organic matter in humus-poor agricultural soils and thus maintain soil fertility. After obtaining sugar from sugar beet plant, a food industry waste rich in organic matter and nutrients called vinasse emerges. In this study, it was aimed to determine the effects of vinasse compost on soil fertility. In this context, the compost was
