Crop Response to Combined Availability of Soil Water and Its Salinity Level: Theory, Experiments and Validation on Golf Courses

Agronomy, 2021
The phenomenological expression showing crop yield to be directly dependent on water deficiency, under saline conditions, has encouraged a continued focus on salinity as a viable approach to increase crop yields.

Sodium and potassium allocation under drought stress in Atlas mastic tree (Pistacia atlantica subsp. mutica)

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2013
Sodium and potassium ions have crucial roles in drought tolerant mechanisms of plants. In a pot experiment, seedlings of Pistacia atlantica subsp. mutica were cultivated in a silty clay soil (Kex=21 mg/l, Naex=143 mg/l) and exposed to different levels of

A relook into plant wilting: observational evidence based on unsaturated soil–plant-photosynthesis interaction

Scientific Reports, 2020
Permanent wilting point (PWP) is generally used to ascertain plant resistance against abiotic drought stress and designated as the soil water content (θ) corresponding to soil suction (ψ) at 1500 kPa obtained from the soil water retention curve ...

Relationship between soil physical properties and cocoa yield in no-till renovated orchards in southern Bahia, Brazil [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo
In southern Bahia, Brazil, cocoa trees (Theobroma cacao L.) are grown in soils with varied physical properties. As many orchards in the region have surpassed their productive lifespan, renewal is crucial for increasing productivity.

Effect of Biochar Application on Hydraulic Properties of Sandy Soil under Dry and Wet Conditions

Vadose Zone Journal, 2018
Knowledge of soil hydraulic properties under dry (below permanent wilting point) and wet (from saturation to permanent wilting point) conditions is helpful for evaluating soil physical quality and modeling the movement of the substances (water and ...

Amorphous silica amendment to improve sandy soils’ hydraulic properties for sustained plant root access under drying conditions

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
Climate scenarios predict more frequent and longer drought periods, potentially threatening agricultural yield. The water holding capacity of soils is crucial in controlling drought stress intensity for plants. Recently, amorphous silica was suggested to

Closed‐Loop Radiative Cooling Mulch Upcycled From Agricultural Residues for Efficient Soil Heat–Water Stress Mitigation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Conventional passive radiative cooling films rely on costly feedstocks and energy‐intensive fabrication, with poor end‐of‐life compatibility in agriculture. To address this challenge, a sustainable radiative cooling mulch (SRCM) is developed from waste maize leaves via spontaneous hydrogen‐bond self‐assembly.
