JUSTIFICATION AND DESIGN OF LAND RECLAMATION TOOLS FOR PRECISION IRRIGATED AGRICULTURE

open access: yesМелиорация и гидротехника
Purpose: to develop techniques for increasing the irrigation water absorption rate using new designs of combined implements for tillage and increasing reclamation status of irrigated lands with the function of “precise” subsoil application of ameliorants.

The role of conservation soil management on soil and water protection at different spatial scales [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Agriculture has a direct impact on the soil environment, altering soil properties, surface characteristics and erosion risk. This has led to a move away from conventional tillage to the adoption of conservation practices, aiming to minimise soil ...

Soil bulk density impacts on root water potential and ABA export in drying soil

open access: yes, 2018
Abscisic acid (ABA) is a phytohormone known to regulate leaf gas exchange and water loss by inducing stomatal closure. ABA is synthesised in response to a variety of abiotic stressors in soil, particularly water deficit.

Surprising Water Slipping Performance on Highly Hydrophilic PEG‐Derived Monolayer‐Covered Surfaces: Preparation, Mechanism, and Application

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Highly hydrophilic surfaces (water contact angle, ≈17.7°) exhibiting surprising water slipping performance (sliding angle, ≈7.3°) are successfully prepared via simple chemisorption of polyethylene glycol (PEG) organosilane and subsequent alkali‐treatment.

Quantification of C and N stocks in grassland topsoils in a Dutch region dominated by dairy farming

open access: yes, 2011
Estimates on soil organic carbon (SOC) and nitrogen (N) stocks in soils cannot be directly calculated from routine soil analyses, since these often lack measurements on soil bulk density (Bd).

Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles in Biomedicine: Advances and Prospects

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles offer unique properties like high surface area, tunable pores, and functionalization. They excel in drug delivery, tissue engineering, and stimuli‐responsive therapies, enabling targeted and controlled treatments. With roles in cancer therapy and diagnostics, their clinical translation requires addressing challenges in ...

PRIMARY TILLAGE FOR WINTER DURUM WHEAT

open access: yesЗерновое хозяйство России, 2019
The primary tillage in crop cultivation determines the conditions for their growth and development. This is especially important for winter durum wheat, which has an underdeveloped root system and it requires a better approach to creating favorable ...

An investigation into wetland soil-implement mechanics [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
An investigation was initiated to obtain some understanding on the behaviour of soil at higher moisture content and to explore the potential of preparing paddy fields with reduced amounts of water.
