Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCompaction 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 · 9,536 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Polarity of Organic Solvents in Coriander Seed Powder (Coriandrum Sativum) Extract is Dependent on their Content of Beta-Carotene, Total Phenolics, Flavonoids, Antioxidants, and Antibacterial PropertiesUcop Haroen, Syafwan, Agus Budiansyah, Kiki KurniawanAttempts to develop alternative antibiotics from herbal plants, especially those originating from spice plants that contain active compounds, are crucial to improve livestock health and support the growth of livestock to reach their genetic potential. This study aims to examine the effects of utilizing different solvent polarities on the solubility of coriander seed secondary metabolite chemicals, which are associated with … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 3 · 6 Nov 2025 · 2,332 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffects of Land Use Practices on the Organic Carbon Content, Cation Exchange Capacity and Aggregate Stability of Soils in the Catchment ZonesMosayeb Heshmati, Arifin Abdu, Shamshuddin Jusop, Nik Muhammad MajidProblem statement: Land use practice leads to changes in the physico-chemical properties of soils, such as Soil Organic Carbon (SOC), Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) and Soil Aggregate Stability (SAS) that cause soil erosion. Approach: Merek catchment, Iran suffers from land degradation due to poor land use practice. A study was carried out with the objectives: (i) to determine soil nutrient … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 12 · 25 Oct 2011 · 8,722 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSorption of Phenols: Influence of Groundwater pH and of Soil Organic Carbon ContentSilvia Fiore, Maria Chiara ZanettiProblem statement: Physical and chemical properties of soil, groundwater and pollutants deeply influenced the type and the strength of sorption phenomena involving hydrophobic organic contaminants: Soil fraction of organic carbon (foc) and cation exchange capacity, groundwater pH and pollutants hydrophobicity were with undoubtedly the predominant issues. Approach: In this study an experimental study of the sorption of phenol and 2-nitrophenol … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,007 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAdsorption Study of Several Hydrophobic Organic Contaminants on an Aquifer MaterialBarbara Ruffino, Mariachiara ZanettiProblem statement: Aim of the present research was to determine coefficient of partition KD between soil and groundwater for five hydrophobic organic pollutants (benzene, chlorobenzene, trichloroethylene-TCE, perchloroethylene-PCE and toluene) in an Italian aquifer material characterized by a low organic carbon content (fOC = 0.00262) by means of laboratory batch tests. Initial aqueous concentrations (quite different among the five compounds) were … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,366 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsElectroosmotic Phenomena in Organic SoilsAfshin Asadi, Bujang B.K. Huat, M. M. Hassim et al.Organic soils or peat represent an accumulation of disintegrated plant remains which have been preserved under condition of incomplete aeration and high water content. In order to develop a fundamental understanding of electroosmotic phenomena in peat, initially microelectrophoresis studies were carried out to conceptualize the electrokinetic phenomena. Then electroosmosis experiments were conducted on rigid cube samples containing 0.0001 M NaCl-water … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,101 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDrying Poultry Manure for Pollution Potential Reduction and Production of Organic FertilizerA. E. Ghaly, M. AlhattabDisposal and storage of raw poultry manure has become an environmental problem because of the associated air, water and soil pollution. Poultry manure begins to decompose immediately after excretion giving off ammonia which, in high concentrations, can have adverse effects on the health and productivity of birds as well as the health of the farm workers. Application to land is … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 13 Mar 2013 · 9,724 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsLand Degradation and Preventive Measures From the Perspective of the StakeholdersMosayeb Heshmati, Arifin Abdu, Nik Muhamad Majid, J. ShamshuddinLand degradation at the catchment scale in Iran is widespread, usually assumed to be accelerated by the activities of local inhabitants. Social issues such as low income, poverty and low level of welfare and education contribute to land degradation. A study was conducted to identify the causes of land degradation in Merek catchment, Iran and to propose appropriate measures to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 9 · 24 Aug 2013 · 8,367 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Organic Ameliorants on Grey Soil FertilityAsanbay Tagaev, Amandyk Kostakov, Sabir MakhmadzhanovThe study aimed to assess the effectiveness of organic-biological ameliorants for restoring the fertility of light grey soils in the Turkestan region of Kazakhstan, which are characterised by low humus content (0.8-1.1%) and high alkalinity (pH 7.9-8.3). The field experiment was conducted on an area of 2304 m2 using four treatment options: control (variant 1 only mineral fertilisers) and three … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 15 Sep 2026 · 693 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Foliar Bio-Based Fertilization on Spring Wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.) in Reconciling Productivity and Alleviation of Environmental Concerns Under Semi-Arid ConditionsGani Stybayev, Raushan Ramazanova, Kelvin Harrison Diri et al.A two-year randomized field trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of foliar bio-based fertilization on the growth, productivity, grain quality, and soil health of spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under semi-arid conditions in Northern Kazakhstan. Four treatments were compared: T0 (100 kg Ammophos, mineral fertilizer control), T1 (50 kg N14P23 + biotreatment), T2 (25 kg N14P23 + biotreatment), and … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 1 · 3 Apr 2026 · 1,526 accessesView PDFCite
