It appears that, even after 10 years of continuous CT or NT rice production on a silt-loam soil, substantially increased near-surface soil BD has not occurred to the point where soil compaction would ...

It has been suggested, but not previously measured, that dissolution kinetics of soluble nanoparticles such as CuO nanoparticles (NPs) in soil affect their phytotoxicity. An added complexity is that ...

Cotton response to nitrogen on silt loam soils: Year two results; Cover crop and phosphorus and potassium application rate effects on soil-test values and cotton yield; Leading free soil testing.

We have excellent teaching, research, and outreach programs in the areas of plant biology (cellular, genetics, genomics, microbial, molecular and physiology), agronomy (including pathology, soil ...

Compacted soil can stunt root growth, hinder nutrient absorption, and block water drainage. This, in turn, can prevent plants from growing properly, and you may notice fewer fruits, flowers, and ...

The silt/clay ratio and WDC were inversely related to the degree of soil weathering, i.e. the higher the silt/clay ratio and WDC, the less the pedogenesis ( Resende et al., 2007). A direct ...
