Proximal Soil Sensing Applications in Soil Fertility
2019Soil samples were collected from two locations: Samawa and Rumetha from Al-Muthana governorate in the south of Iraq. The samples were divided into two sets to be used as a calibration and validation set. Vis-NIR reflectance (350–2500 nm) and GIS-Kriging were used in combination with Partial Least Square (PLS) to predict soil available Phosphorus and ...

Application of MicroResp™ for soil ecotoxicology
Environmental Pollution, 2013MicroResp™ is a miniaturised method for measuring substrate induced respiration (SIR) in soil. We modified the MicroResp™ method to develop a rapid tool for quantifying the ecotoxicological impact of contaminants. The method is based on reduction in SIR across a gradient of contaminant, allowing for determination of dose-response curves EC-values ...

Soil Bioengineering Application and Practices in Nepal
Environmental Management, 2012The small mountainous country Nepal is situated in the central part of the Himalayas. Its climate varies from tropical in the south to arctic in the north; and natural vegetation follows the pattern of climate and altitude. Water-induced disaster problems including soil erosion, debris flow, landslides and flooding are common due to the unstable ...

Application of Soil-Enzyme for Stabilization of Soils in Paving
2015There was in recent years a great offer of patented additives (enzymes) to the road market as solution to soil stabilization. However, they are many times rejected because there are no theoretical foundation to prove such uses, and also because researches themselves don't see research opportunities.

Application of Image Preprocessing in Soil Mesostructure
2017Following on the development of soil shear bands, this paper studies the processing method of soil mesostructure images taken by optical microscope. The study shows that: the images fusion method based on wavelet transform can solve the problems caused by depth of field existing in the images of soil mesostructure; the image mosaic based on the module ...

Effects of Pig Slurry Application on Soils and Soil Humic Acids
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2002The effect of three annually consecutive additions of pig slurry at two rates (90 and 150 m3 x ha(-1) x year(-1) on soils and soil humic acids (HAs) was investigated in a field experiment under semiarid conditions. Soils and pig slurries were analyzed by standard methods. The HAs were isolated from soils and pig slurry by a conventional procedure based

Dissipation of soil fumigants from soil following repeated applications
Pest Management Science, 2013Abstract BACKGROUND The dissipation of pesticides in soil and the occurrence of accelerated degradation following repeated applications are well‐known phenomena with many pesticides, but much less so with soil fumigants.

Pencycuron dissipation in soil: effect of application rate and soil conditions
Pest Management Science, 2005AbstractDissipation of the fungicide pencycuron was examined under controlled laboratory conditions in clay loam soils from rice cultivated fields of alluvial soil (Typic udifluvent) and coastal saline soil (Typic endoaquept) at field rate, twice the field rate and 10 times the field rate with and without decomposed cow manure maintained at 60% of ...
