The Lower Boundary of Selected Mollisols [PDF]

Soil Science Society of America Journal, 1967
Abstract Thicknesses of three Mollisols (Tama, Elburn, and Drummer series), developed from Wisconsinan‐age material in a toposequence in Central Illinois, were considerably greater (18 to 68 cm) when their lower boundaries were determined by the depth of rooting of native perennial big bluestem (

Studies on dissipation of thiamethoxam insecticide in two different soils and its residue in potato crop

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2014
The dissipation patterns of thiamethoxam insecticide at two different rates (12.5 and 25 µg/g) in both silty clay loam and loam soils were studied. The half lives of thiamethoxam were in the range of 15.0 to 18.8 days in silty clay loam and 20.1 to 21.5 ...

Water-Covered Depth with the Freeze–Thaw Cycle Influences Fungal Communities on Rice Straw Decomposition

Agriculture, 2021
Rice is a staple food for the world’s population. However, the straw produced by rice cultivation is not used sufficiently. Returning rice straw to the field is an effective way to help reduce labor and protect the soil.
