Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving Effects of Different Calcium-Magnesium Conditioners on LatosolJin Li, Yingbin Xue, Minzhong Chen et al.At present, soil acidification seriously restricts the sustainable development of agricultural production. A common method that can be used to improve acidified soils is to apply calcareous materials (conditioners), but there is difference in the improvement effect of the conditioners on the same soil because of the conditioners containing different calcium-magnesium compounds. In order to find suitable conditioners for latosol … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 13 Oct 2020 · 6,630 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAPPLYING SEASONAL CLIMATE TRENDS TO AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION IN TANJUNG KARANG, MALAYSIAMohd Ekhwan Toriman, Lee Qiao Yun, Mohd Khairul Amri Kamarudin et al.The North West Selangor Integrated Agriculture Development Agency (NWS-IADA) is the most productive agricultural part in Selangor, Malaysia. This is partly because of the inherent high fertility of the soils and the moderate variable climate. However, with increasing global concern about climate impacts, this article examines relative importance of climate influences on the paddy production rate over 28 years (1980-2008). … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 6 Jan 2014 · 7,917 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVariability of Hydraulic Conductivity Due to Multiple FactorsSanjit K. Deb, Manoj K. ShuklaSoil properties are greatly influenced by intrinsic factors of soil formation as well as extrinsic factors associated with land use and management and vary both in time and space. Intrinsic variability is caused by the pedogenesis and usually takes place at large time scales. The variability caused by extrinsic factors could take effect relatively quickly and could not be treated … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 13 Aug 2012 · 10,228 accessesView PDFCite
