Changes in soil biochemical properties following application of bentonite as a soil amendment
, 2021Bentonite is a natural soil amendment that can reduce soil water loss and increase crop yield, but there are few studies about how bentonite influences soil biochemical properties. A field experiment was conducted with a millet [Setaria italic (L.) Beauv.

Soil enzyme - soil amendment interactions.
2023A simple, rapid and reproducible method of assaying 1,3-β glucanase activity in soil has been developed, using laminarin as a substrate. It was founded upon a detailed analysis of the factors involved such as: quantity, type and age of soil; choice of: buffer, substrate concentration, microbial inhibitor, pH, temperature and incubation time, and ...

Valorization of peanut shell biochar for soil amendment
Journal of plant nutrition, 2021Biochar is one of the best and economical soil amendments as it helps in carbon sequestration, retains soil nutrients, increases water retention capacity of the soil, attracts more beneficial microbes and thus improves the crop yield.

Soil Amendments and the Rhizosphere Effect
Zentralblatt für Bakteriologie, Parasitenkunde, Infektionskrankheiten und Hygiene. Zweite Naturwissenschaftliche Abteilung: Allgemeine, Landwirtschaftliche und Technische Mikrobiologie, 1975Summary Occurrence of bacteria ammonifiers, and nitrifiers in rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soils of wheat and soybean, grown in unamended soil, soil amended with root exudates, urea or ammonium sulphate was studied. In unamended soil, both plants stimulated bacteria and ammonifiers in their rhizospheres on the 10th, 20th, and 30th day after sowing.

Phosphate Adsorption by Ferrihydrite‐Amended Soils
Journal of Environmental Quality, 2005ABSTRACTNew technology and approaches for reducing P in runoff from high sediment yield areas are essential due to implementation of increasingly rigorous water quality standards. The objectives of this research were to characterize ferrihydrite (Fe5HO8·4H2O) in terms of its ability to adsorb P from soil solutions and relate its P adsorptive capacity ...

Amendment Effects on Soil Test Phosphorus
Journal of Environmental Quality, 2005ABSTRACTApplications of animal manures have increased soil test P values in many parts of the USA and thus increased the risk that soil P will be transferred to surface water and decrease water quality. To continue farming these areas, landowners need tools to reduce the risk of P losses.

Soil Amendments for Mitigation of Compacted Soils
Low Impact Development 2010, 2010Traffic during construction has been shown to compact soils resulting in reduced porosity and infiltration rates and increased runoff. In agricultural settings soil amendments have been found to counter-act compaction effects. To evaluate the mitigation potential of two soil amendments (compost and fly ash) and determine potential water quality impacts,

Soil Amendment: A Technique for Soil Remediation of Lactofen
Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2007Lactofen, a member of the diphenyl ether chemical family, shows great potential for the control of broadleaf weeds associated with leguminous crops. It presents a high degree of selectivity when applied post-emergence to soybean and peanut crops. This paper presents the persistence of lactofen under a soybean crop under various conditions, including ...
