Ecological aspects of Bacillus thuringiensis in an Oxisol [PDF]

Scientia Agricola, 2003
Bacillus thuringiensis is a Gram positive, sporangial bacterium, known for its insecticidal habilities. Survival and conjugation ability of B. thuringiensis strains were investigated; vegetative cells were evaluated in non-sterile soil. Vegetative cells decreased rapidly in number, and after 48 hours the population was predominantly spores.

Dependência espacial da resistência do solo à penetração e do teor de água do solo sob cultivo contínuo de cana-de-açúcar Spatial variability of soil penetration resistance and soil moisture at different periods of sampling under sugarcane crop

Ciência Rural, 2006
O cultivo intensivo dos solos e a utilização de máquinas e equipamentos pesados promovem a compactação do solo. A resistência do solo à penetração é uma medida que detecta esta compactação, contudo ela é fortemente influenciada pelo teor de água no solo.

The Influence of Soil Properties on the Agronomic Efficacy of Rock Dust: A Comparative Analysis of a Semiarid Ultisol and Global Soil Types

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background: Enhanced rock weathering (ERW) using silicate rock dust is a promising strategy for soil remineralization and carbon dioxide removal. However, its agronomic efficacy is highly dependent on soil properties. Aim: This study provides a comprehensive comparative analysis of the influence of soil type on the performance of rock dust ...

Physical and Chemical Characterization of Soil in Urban Solid Waste Disposal Area

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Waste generation and subsequent disposal in adequate sites still have limitations in some Brazilian municipalities. Therefore, environmental monitoring of these areas is extremely important, as it helps to preserve the environment. The purpose of this study is to analyze the chemical and physical parameters of soil in a landfill area. For this,

Innovations in polysaccharide‐based hydrogels in sustainable agriculture

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Polysaccharide‐based hydrogels are promising in sustainable agriculture, as these natural polymers have the ability to absorb water and nutrients and release them gradually in the soil, in addition to ensuring biodegradability and lower cost. However, some challenges still need to be overcome.

Improved Cerrado Wetland Mapping Through Seasonal Moisture Metrics, Terrain Information and Semantic Segmentation

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Brazil's Cerrado valley wetlands—swamp savanna and gallery forest—are highly important for the biome's water cycle and carbon storage and are susceptible to degradation from the impacts of land use expansion and the climate crisis. In support of their detailed monitoring and assessment, we developed and tested a transferable mapping approach that ...

Extraction Kinetics and Molecular Size Fractionation of Humic Substances From Two Brazilian Soils

Journal of the Brazilian Chemical Society, 1999
In the present study, the extraction behaviour of humic substances (HS) from an Oxisol and a Mollisol from South Brazil, by using 0.1 and 0.5 mol L-1 NaOH and 0.15 mol L-1 neutral pyrophosphate solutions, respectively, was systematically studied.
