Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSoil Organic Carbon Stock under Different Age Ranges of Cashew Agroecosystems in the Sudano-Sahelian Zone of CameroonAwé Djongmo Victor, Noiha Noumi Valery, Zapfack LouisThe aim of this study was to quantify the current soil organic carbon stock under different age ranges of cashew agroecosystems in the Sudano-Sahelian zone of Cameroon in the context of greenhouse gas emissions and land degradation. It is so crucial for combating climate change and improving ecological restoration. Random field sampling was carried out on 0-10, 10-20 and 20-30 … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 28 Dec 2020 · 6,995 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnvironmental Risk Assessment of Coal-Ash-Amended Soil Based on Continuous Planting of PakchoiWenxuan Sun, Liyong Bai, Huihui Ji et al.The agricultural application of coal ash which contains a variety of chemical nutrients may also cause heavy metal pollution of crops and soil. In this study, pakchoi was cultivated for four consecutive seasons in pots of brown soil amended with fly ash or bottom ash. With subsequent plantings, the total concentrations in the four fractions of Pb, Cr and Cu … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 11 May 2021 · 6,864 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessing of Soil Compaction and Relations to Soil Fertility on Different Land Used in Bintulu, SarawakAizul Azfar Zulkeefli, Md. Suzauddula, Md. Rezaul Karim et al.Assessing land uses-induced changes in soil properties from natural forests to farmland are indispensable for addressing the complications in terms of agricultural landscape sustainability. A study was conducted in Rehabilitated Forest (RF), Oil Palm (OP), Secondary Forest (SF) and Rubber Plantation (RP) at University Putra Malaysia in order to examine the results of soil densification on soil characteristics and fertility … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 11 Jan 2021 · 7,432 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractThe Timeless Contribution of Rootstocks towards Successful Horticultural Farming: From Ancient Times to the Climate Change EraIoannis E. PapadakisGrafting is a horticultural practice by which living vegetative plant organs (root, stem and/or buds) of either the same genotype or, usually, different genotypes belonging to the same species, genus, subfamily and/or family, are tightly connected to each other to form a double-compound plant. In fact, it is a method of asexual (clonal-vegetative) propagation of plants. The basal part of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 16 Dec 2016 · 9,527 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractAn Opportunity for the Agricultural Sector: The Renewable Energy SourcesRiccardo Testa, Salvatore TudiscaToday, among the most important issue for energy decisions by policymakers, there are security challenges and environmental impacts on climate change and economic aspects. Since the seventies, in fact, global warming and environmental issues have had an increasing importance in international debate, attracting the attention of several scientific studies (Landi and Benelli, 2016). Many of these studies denoted that over … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 6 Sep 2016 · 8,098 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling the Evolution of Nitrate Pollution of Groundwater in the Plain of Western Middle CheliffNessrine Belmiloud, Naïma BettaharGroundwater constitute a potential source of drinking water supply and should, consequently, benefit from the necessary protection against the various forms of pollutions, particularly those diffuse of agricultural origin. The plain of Western Middle Cheliff which contains an important resource in groundwater supplying the whole population of the province of Chlef and contributing to the satisfaction of the need for … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 12 Jan 2016 · 7,146 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCompaction Properties of Silty Soils in Relation to Soil Texture, Moisture Content and Organic MatterPrathuang Usaborisut, Jettapol AmpanmaneeSoil compaction is recognized as an increasingly challenging problem with regard to root growth and yield reduction in agricultural production in Thailand. The aim of this research was to study the effect of soil texture, moisture content and organic matter on the compaction properties of silty soils. Three soils with different silt contents were studied-loam, silty clay loam and silt … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2015 · 9,545 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBEHAVIOR OF THE NON-SELECTIVE HERBICIDE GLYPHOSATE IN AGRICULTURAL SOILAbdul Jabbar Al-Rajab, Othman M. HakamiGlyphosate [N-phosphonomethyl]glycine is a systematic, non-selective, organophosphorus herbicide used worldwide in agriculture and industrial zones. Following its application, residues of glyphosate can threaten soil or aquatic organisms in adjacent water. In this study, we followed the degradation, stabilization, remobilization and leaching of 14C-glyphosate in three agricultural soils in laboratory incubations and in lysimeters under field conditions. Glyphosate degradation was relatively … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 15 Mar 2014 · 9,341 accessesView PDFCite
