Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAllelopathic Potentialities of Gliricidia sepium and Acacia auriculiformis on the Germination and Seedling Vigour of Maize (Zea mays L.)M. B. OyunDecline in crop yield in cropping and agroforestry system in recent years has been attributed to allelopathic effects. Plants may favourably or adversely affect other plants through allelochemicals, which may be released directly or indirectly from live or dead plants. The objective of this study was to examine and quantify the nature of interference of leaf leachates of Gliricidia sepium … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 9,790 accessesView PDF Cite

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 · 9,332 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeavy Metal Mobility in Polluted Soils: Effect of Different TreatmentsMarta Susana Zubillaga, Emiliano Bressan, Raúl Silvio LavadoThe effects of biosolid compost and phytoremediation applied on the leaching of cadmium, copper, lead and zinc, through the different horizons of a superficially polluted soil were determined. The soil was from the Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina. It was contaminated with cadmium copper, lead and zinc. Leaching columns were used with three different horizons: A: 0.12 m A horizon, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,132 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPotential Air and Groundwater Pollution from Continuous High Land Application of Cheese WheyA.E. Ghaly, D.G. Rushton, N.S. MahmoudExperiments were performed, using eighteen 280 cm deep soil columns with 20 cm inside diameter, to determine the relative amounts of nitrogenous compounds leached and volatilized from soils receiving high application rates of cheese whey during two seasons. Three soils (loamy sand, sandy loam and sandy clay loam) and two cheese whey application rates (560 and 840 kg-N ha-1), that … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,277 accessesView PDF Cite
