Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Fertility Status of Soils at Rehabilitated Degraded Land in Universiti Putra Malaysia Planted with Pinus caribaea and Swietenia macrophyllaMohammad Nazrin Abdul Malik, Arifin Abdu, Daljit Singh Karam et al.Soil fertility (both physical and chemical) is one of the important factors limiting plant growth. So, the fertility of the soils should be determined before growing crops and after the establishment of forest rehabilitation. A study was conducted to determine the fertility status of soils at rehabilitated degraded land in Universiti Putra Malaysia. The main objective was to compare the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 10 · 5 Nov 2015 · 7,276 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsComparing the Fertility of Soils under Khaya ivorensis Plantation and Regenerated Degraded Secondary ForestsYetti Heryati, Arifin Abdu, Mohd Noor Mahat et al.Problem statement: It is widely accepted that conversion of natural forest to other land use types leads to deterioration of soil fertility and increased soil compaction which consequently become degraded secondary forests. Degraded secondary forest or forestland is indicated by low in soil fertility and organic matter due to imbalance input and output from original vegetation. Forest plantation through planting … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 17 May 2011 · 8,509 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDifferences in Soil Physical and Chemical Properties of Rehabilitated and Secondary ForestsM. H. Akbar, O. H. Ahmed, A. S. Jamaluddin et al.Problem statement: The soil properties of tropical rain forest in Southeast Asia have been characterized by several researchers; however empirical data on soil characteristics under rehabilitation program are still limited or even lacking. This research is important to determine the soil physical and chemical properties of a rehabilitated degraded forest land 19 years after planting with various indigenous species in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2010 · 12,545 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Effects of the Degree of Soil Salinity and the Bio preparation on Productivity of Maize in the Shaulder Irrigated MassifMaksat Nurbaiuly Poshanov, Shakhislam Uzakbaevich Laiskhanov, Zhassulan Maratovich Smanov et al.During the study on the Shaulder irrigated massif, the soil salinity maps with different degrees of salinity were compiled at the large-scale 1:10000 in the GIS environment. It was found that the area of saline soils increases with depth. In the upper 0-20 cm layer, 29% is salted and in the 50-100 cm layer, up to 44% is salted. The … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 11 Feb 2022 · 6,737 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffects of Bradyrhizobium japonicum on Some Chemical Properties of Ferralsols under Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) CultivationBen Tshibuyi Kasu-Bandi, Laurent Kidinda Kidinda, Germain Nyembo Kasendue et al.This study was conducted on acidic soils in two different agro-ecological zones in order to evaluate the influence of Bradyrhizobium japonicum on soil chemical properties in the Upper-Katanga (DR Congo). A split plot design with three replicates was installed in two sites. The main plots included three strains of Bradyrhizobium japonicum plus the untreated control and four soybean varieties in … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 17 Oct 2019 · 7,618 accessesView PDFCite
InvestigationOpen accessIn the keywordsComparative Ameliorative Efficiency of Phosphogypsum and Elemental Sulfur in Semi-Terrestrial Soda and Sulfate Moderately Halophytic Solonetz of the Light Gray Earth SubzoneKanaibek Kubenkulov, Nurzhamal Khokhanbaeva, Askhat NaushabayevThe article presents the data from field tests on determination of the relative ameliorative efficiency of equivalent dosages of phosphogypsum and elemental sulfur on the alkaline saline semi-terrestrialsolonetz. Basing on the analysis data of soil water extract, higher ameliorative efficiency of elemental sulfur compared to phosphogypsum and fast amelioration of alkali-saline soils with the use of sulfur have been detected. … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 2 · 6 Feb 2018 · 7,421 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAssessing Soil Biological Properties of Natural and Planted Forests in the Malaysian Tropical Lowland Dipterocarp ForestDaljit Singh Karam, Arifin Abdu, O. Radziah et al.Problem statement: A study was conducted to evaluate and compare the soil biological properties of a natural forest and an 18-year-old stand of Shorea leprosula in Chikus Forest Reserve, Perak, Malaysia. Approach: Soils were sampled at depths of 0-15 cm (topsoil) and 15-30 cm (subsoil) in six subplots (20×20 m) of natural forest (C1) and of a planted S. leprosula … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 9 · 29 Jul 2011 · 7,961 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPossibilities of Stabilizing Soil Biological Activity by Treating Seeds With a Biological Preparation Based on Phosphate Mobilizing Bacteria in the Conditions of the Aral Sea Region of KazakhstanZhanar Zhumadilova, Laura Tokhetova, Shorabayev Yerik et al.This study examined the effect of Phosphate-Mobilizing Bacteria (PMB) as a pre-sowing treatment for forage crop seeds. The objective was to assess the potential of these bacterial biopreparations to improve both crop productivity and soil fertility. Research methods included agrochemical, microbiological, and conventional field analyses. The findings revealed that pre-sowing seed treatment with PMB increased crop yields by 7.4% to … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 4 · 24 Sep 2026 · 642 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhosphorus Availability Modulates Bradyrhizobium japonicum’s Impact on Soil Micribial Biomass and Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) Yield in Lubumbashi Tropical SoilsBen Tshibuyi Kasu-Bandi et al.Tropical soils in sub-Saharan Africa exhibit low fertility, high acidity, and limited Phosphorus (P) availability, a key nutrient for agricultural productivity and the sustainability of cropping systems. This deficiency, exacerbated by the strong fixation of P in acidic soils, not only limits plant growth but also the efficiency of the nitrogen-fixing symbiosis between soybeans (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) and Bradyrhizobium … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 13 May 2026 · 1,980 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImportance of Soil and Mineral Characteristics in Supporting Sustainable AgricultureIda Suryani, Marliana Sjuaib Palad, Nur Fitriani et al.Soil consists of four main components: Minerals, organic matter, air, and water, which are arranged in the space to form the soil body. Inorganic minerals in the soil come from rock fragments and other primary minerals. Sustainable soil fertility is supported by the nutrient content contained in the minerals.
