Chlordane transport in a sandy soil: effects of suspended soil material and pig slurry
, 1998 In experiments in lysimeters of sandy soil chlordane was transported in water flows only when sorbed on suspended soil material. A chlordane 'concentration' was calculated by dividing this sorbed chlordane by the volume of the water sample in which the ...

Influence of Composite Amendments on the Characteristics of Sandy Soil
Soil desertification control is a global challenge, and the barrenness of sandy soil limits the growth of plants. To enhance the vegetation growth capacity of sandy soils, the preparation of soil amendments and the experiment of improving desertified ...

The degradation of linuron in sandy soil
Agricultural and Food Science, 1989 The degradation of linuron occurs both in aerobic and anaerobic sandy soil with a slight lag when the conditions change from aerobic to anaerobic or from anaerobic to aerobic. Liming was found to stimulate the degradation rate of linuron so clearly that liming can be recommended for acceleration of linuron degradation as a normal agricultural treatment,

Eggshells Improve Soil pH and P Availability in Sandy Loam and Sandy Clay Loamy Soil
The current effective method of mitigating soil acidity is the application of lime. However, the costs associated with acquiring lime make it challenging for small-scale farmers in South Africa. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the liming

Helical Piles Embedded in Expansive Soil Overlaying Sandy Soil
Al-Khawarizmi Engineering Journal, 2017 In this study, the behavior of square helical piles models (5×5) mm2 embedded in expansive soil bed overlaying a layer of sandy soil was investigated. The sand layer 200mm thickness was compacted into four sub layers in a steel container with diameter ...

Seed mass and shape are related to persistence in a sandy soil in northern China
, 2011 Whether and how seed mass and shape are related to seed persistence in soil is a controversial topic in plant ecology. There is little information on this relationship in sandy habitats. We tested whether or not this pattern is retained among 141 species

Analyzing the soil texture effect on promoting water holding capacity by polyacrylamide [PDF]
, 2008 Polyacrylamide (PAM) has been widely used to improve soil water holding capacity and control infiltration rate of the soils. However, limited studies have been conducted on the interactions between soil water holding capacity and PAM rates in different
