Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase 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 titleSoil Compaction and Oil Palm (Elaeis guineensis) Yield in a Clay Textured SoilZuraidah Yahya, Aminuddin Husin, Jamal Talib et al.Problem Statement: The impacts of soil compaction on crop yields have been studied extensively by soil scientists due to declining soil productivity associated with mechanisation. However, a relationship between machine-induced soil compaction and oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) yield is unclear. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to determine the effects of mechanization on soil physical properties and the influence … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 10,280 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffect of Different Ages of a Rehabilitated Forest on Selected Physico-chemical PropertiesRajeswari A.P. Murugayah, Seca Gandaseca, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. MajidProblem statement: This research was important because of still lack of information about rehabilitated tropical forest age effect on infiltration rate. The objectives of this study were to determine the influence of age of forest on soil water infiltration rate and to evaluate the influence of forest age on the relationship between water infiltration rate, soil organic matter and soil … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,104 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Dynamics of Chemical Properties and Soil Microbial Types at Agroforestry System in Supporting Environmental Friendly AgricultureIda Suryani, Sulfiana, Maimuna Nontji, MarlianaAgroforestry is described as the land-use system producing and conserving various agricultural, livestock, and fishery commodities combined with forestry commodities. The research aims to determine the chemical properties of the soil and types of microbial (especially the presence of soil bacterial) in the cocoa farming system. The two types of analysis were conducted: (1) Soil chemical properties included pH, C-organic, … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 16 Aug 2022 · 5,409 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSustainable Technology for Agriculture at Extreme Altitudes: Design and Evaluation of a Sprinkler Irrigation System in a Peruvian High Andean CommunityJuan Eduardo Suarez Rivadeneira, Freddy A. Manayay, Daniel Olivier Carranza Lizana et al.In high-altitude agroecosystems, erratic rainfall patterns and steep topography severely constrain crop productivity by exposing plants to soil water deficits during critical phenological stages. This study aimed to enhance the productivity of eleven staple and horticultural crops corn (Zea mays), tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), cucumber (Cucumis sativus), eggplant (Solanum melongena), lettuce (Lactuca sativa), carrot (Daucus carota), barley (Hordeum vulgare), celery (Apium … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 4 · 2 Oct 2026 · 645 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHydrophysical Properties of Soils as Indicators of the Hydrological Role of Rudny Altai ForestsAndrey Kalachev, Tamara Burenina, Stanislav Rogovsky et al.The hydrophysical properties of soils and parent rock are key factors shaping forest hydrological functioning, as they influence multiple runoff components. This study assessed the effects of forest stand composition on soil moisture and water permeability between 2021 and 2023 in the middle mountain-taiga zone of the Rudny Altai, within the Zhuravlikha River basin, a tributary of the Irtysh River. … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 1 · 24 Mar 2026 · 1,316 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. The research objectives were: 1) to observe the physical and chemical … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 2 · 25 Mar 2025 · 5,938 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSoil Organic Carbon Stock under Different Age Ranges of Cashew Agroecosystems in the Sudano-Sahelian Zone of CameroonAwé Djongmo Victor, Noiha Noumi Valery, Zapfack LouisThe aim of this study was to quantify the current soil organic carbon stock under different age ranges of cashew agroecosystems in the Sudano-Sahelian zone of Cameroon in the context of greenhouse gas emissions and land degradation. It is so crucial for combating climate change and improving ecological restoration. Random field sampling was carried out on 0-10, 10-20 and 20-30 … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 28 Dec 2020 · 6,993 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy on the Distribution of Endomycorrhizal Fungi in Some Species Root-Plants in BaliMeitini Wahyuni Proborini, Deny Suhernawan YusupPlants growing on poor soils are commonly associated with endomycorrhizal fungi as a mutualism symbiotic. The fungus takes a role on enhancement of the uptake of soil mineral nutrients particularly phosphorus, thereby enhancing host plant vigor. Despite some of Bali areas particularly in Karangasem and Buleleng have poor soil condition, less study on the endomycorrizhal fungi have been undertaken.
