Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleEnhancing the Urea-N Use Efficiency in Maize (Zea mays) Cultivation on Acid Soils using Urea Amended with Zeolite and TSPOsumanu Haruna Ahmed, Aminuddin Hussin, Husni Mohd Hanif Ahmad et al.Problem Statement: Ammonia loss significantly reduces urea-N use efficiency in crop production. Efforts to reduce ammonia loss are laboratory oriented, as such limited in reflecting actual field conditions. This paper reports the effects of urea amended with triple superphosphate (TSP) and zeolite (Clinoptilolite) on soil pH, soil nitrate, soil exchangeable ammonium, dry matter production, N uptake, fresh cob production and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 8,874 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsClimate Change Adaptation in Acid Sulfate LandscapesChuxia LinOxidation of sulfide minerals produces sulfuric acid and consequently creates Acid Sulfate Landscapes (ASLs), which represent one of the most degraded types of land-surface environments. Although acid sulfate-producing weathering is a naturally occurring process, it is markedly facilitated by human intervention. Mining is by far the dominant anthropogenic cause for the creation of inland acid sulfate footprints while land reclamation … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 7 Jul 2012 · 7,382 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPyritization of the Coastal Sediments in the Kelantan Plains in the Malay Peninsula during the HoloceneM.S.K. Enio, J. Shamshuddin, C.I. Fauziah, M.H.A. HusniProblem statement: For a number of geological reasons a proportion of the present coastal plains in the Malay Peninsula were inundated by seawater in the past when pyrite in some of the soils is believed to have been mineralized. Random survey of these sites showed a unique distribution and depth of pyritic layer in the soils along the coastal plains. … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 16 Aug 2011 · 8,740 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEvaluation of Nitrogen and Potassium Uptake and Efficiency of Two Rice Varieties Cultivated on an Acid SoilShajarutulwardah Mohd Yusob, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Wan Asrina Wan Yahaya, Nik Muhamad Ab. MajidA pot study was carried with the following objectives: (i) To investigate N and K uptake of MR 220 and ARC 2 rice varieties grown on Bekenu series (Tipik Tualemkuts), and (ii) To investigate N and K use efficiency of MR 220 and ARC 2 grown on Bekenu series. Treatments evaluated were: (i) MR 220 and ARC 2 under fertilized … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,846 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Fructan Content from Stem Juices of Different Varieties of Agave Atrovirens, Traditionally Used for the Production of Pulque. Production of a Sweetening Syrup by Chemical and Enzymatic ProcessingKaren Gott-Bravo, Arnulfo Pluma-Pluma, Victor Eric López-López et al.Agave atrovirens, the hardiest species of Agave in Mexico, thrives in tough, infertile soils and extreme temperatures across a wide range of altitudes, particularly in impoverished rural areas of Central and Northern Mexico. Its potential for agroindustrial use could offer a pathway to social and economic prosperity for many communities. Traditionally, A. atrovirens is tapped for its sap, known as … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 4 Mar 2025 · 7,670 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhosphate-Solubilizing Salt-Tolerant Bacteria to Support Soybean Growth (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) On Saline SoilsIrina Smirnova, Amankeldi Sadanov, Gul Baimakhanova et al.Phosphorus is one of the important elements of plant nutrition that affect crop productivity. Increasing the availability of phosphorus through the use of microbial inoculants capable of stimulating soybean growth on saline soils is a promising solution to the problem. However, most phosphate-solubilizing bacteria are not capable of the growth and mobilization of phosphates on saline soils. The purpose of … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 1 · 2 Oct 2023 · 5,821 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLevels of Metals and Microbial Biomass in Cobalt Coleman Mine Tailings (Canada) Three Decades after Land ReclamationKabwe Nkongolo, Graeme Spiers et al.Investigations of restored metal contaminated tailings in Canada with regard to their long-term ability to sustain plant and associated microbiological populations are limited. The specific objectives of the present study were to assess (1) The current levels of total and bioavailable metals and (2) Microbial biomass in Cobalt Coleman mine tailings reclaimed in 1990. The level of microbial biomass was … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 20 Mar 2023 · 6,004 accessesView PDFCite
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 · 6,626 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 · 6,862 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 · 9,521 accessesView PDFCite
