Impact of Irrigation Scheduling on Corn Yield and Water Balance in Sandy Soils of Central Minnesota Using the EPIC Model.

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Efficient irrigation scheduling is critical in sandy soils to achieve optimum yield and maximum net benefit with minimum environmental concerns. The Environmental Policy Integrated Climate (EPIC) model was used to study the impacts of autoirrigation of corn on crop yield and soil water balance during 2019–2021 at −300 and −450 kPa for loamy ...

Fast-decaying tree litter reduces the temperature sensitivity of soil carbon decomposition by increasing microbial necromass carbon

Geoderma
Improvements in stocks and stability of forest soil organic carbon can be achieved through the management of tree species. Given the long lifespan of trees and their role as the keystone species in forested ecosystems, decisions regarding tree species ...

Drought Risk in Mango and Avocado Orchards: Insights Into Plant Water Relations and Irrigation‐Related Agronomic Solutions

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change is making water availability more uncertain, with growing consequences for the productivity and long‐term sustainability of tropical and subtropical fruit orchards. Mangifera indica L. and Persea americana Mill. both require large amounts of water to sustain growth and productivity.

Miniaturized Droplet‐Based Adaptation of the Ames Test for High‐Throughput Mutagenicity Assessment

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This work presents the first demonstration of a tube‐based droplet microfluidic implementation of the Ames test, bridging single‐droplet resolution with regulatory genotoxicity testing. The Ames test is a cornerstone assay for detecting mutagenicity, but conventional plate‐ and well‐based formats suffer from high reagent consumption, low ...

Beyond Tradition: An Integrated Toxicological, Ecological, and Public Health Perspective on Aristolochic Acids

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aristolochia species have long been used in traditional medicine for their presumed anti‐inflammatory, analgesic and antimicrobial properties. However, extensive toxicological and epidemiological evidence now demonstrates that these plants contain aristolochic acids (AAs) I and II, highly potent nephrotoxic, genotoxic, and carcinogenic ...

Perennial Legumes Pueraria phaseoloides and Leucaena leucocephala Exhibit High Potential for Fertility Restoration of Degraded Mined Soils in Ghana

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
Revegetating the subsoil layer of abandoned gold mined sites with the perennial legumes Leucaena Leucocephala, Pueraria phaseoloides and Gliricidia sepium without any soil amendments increases the content of soil organic carbon and important macro‐nutrients, which are crucial for restoring soil health and productivity. These improvements in soil health

Sewage Sludge and Cashew Bagasse Biochars Promote Changes in Selected Physical Attributes Related to the Structure of Degraded Dryland Soil

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
This study evaluated biochars from co‐pyrolysis of sewage sludge and cashew residues on physical quality of a degraded loamy sand soil. SPB applied at 20 Mg ha−1 reduced bulk density by 7.74%, whereas most porosity attributes were driven by soil reconsolidation rather than biochar. Aggregate stability varied with biochar type, with SPB promoting larger

Adenosine triphosphate of the soil microbial biomass

In a heterogeneous group of 11 soils there was a linear relationship (r = 0.98) between ATP content and biomass C content, as measured by the fumigation technique. Biomass can be calculated from the ATP content using the relationship Biomass C in soil = 120 (ATP content of soil).
