Rain water transport and storage in a model sandy soil with hydrogel particle additives
, 2014 We study rain water infiltration and drainage in a dry model sandy soil with superabsorbent hydrogel particle additives by measuring the mass of retained water for non-ponding rainfall using a self-built 3D laboratory set-up. In the pure model sandy soil,

Soil organic matter influences the agronomic efficiency of boron fertilizers in sandy Oxisol cultivated with soybean [PDF]
Scientia AgricolaBoron (B) is readily leached from the soil, depending on the soil texture, soil organic matter (OM) content, and the fertilizer source used. This can restrict B uptake by plants. Therefore, we investigated the most adequate B source for soybeans grown in
