Processes and rates of formation defined by modelling in alkaline to acidic soil systems in Brazilian Pantanal wetland

Patricia Merdy et al.

Summary: Geochemical modelling is an effective tool for studying soil processes and answering scientific questions. In this study, we used the PHREEQC model to investigate alkaline to acidic soil systems in the Nhecolandia area of Brazil. Our simulations provided insights into soil formation rates, the stability of alkaline soils, and the interactions between different soil layers.

Tillage, Water and Nitrogen Management Strategies Influence the Water Footprint, Nutrient Use Efficiency, Productivity and Profitability of Rice in Typic Ustochrept Soil

Saurabh Tyagi et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the adoption of optimal tillage water and nitrogen management systems for reducing field inputs, improving water footprint, nutrient use efficiency, rice productivity, and profitability. The results showed that rice transplanted on wide raised beds and reduced tillage transplanted rice absorbed more moisture from deeper soil layers compared to conventional tillage puddled transplanted rice. Additionally, they had higher yields and profits.

Effect of Ammonium Sulphate Incorporated with Calcium Nitrate Fertilizers on Nutritional Status, Fruit Set and Yield of Pomegranate Trees cv. Wonderful

Naji Mordi Naji Al-Dosary et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of (NH4)(2)SO4:Ca(NO3)(2) ratios on the nutritional status, fruit set, yield, and marketable yield of pomegranate trees cv. Wonderful. The results showed that a ratio of 60% (NH4)(2)SO4:40% Ca(NO3)(2) resulted in the best fruit set and minimal fruit drop, while a ratio of 70% (NH4)(2)SO4:30% Ca(NO3)(2) led to the lowest fruit sunburn and cracking, as well as the highest yield and marketable yield.

Persistent impact of spring floods on crop loss in U.S. Midwest

Manoochehr Shirzaei et al.

Summary: This study used satellite data to investigate the impact of the 2019 spring floods in the U.S. Midwest on crop loss, revealing an association between flooded counties and delayed plant growth. There is also a potential increase in crop loss due to increased stream discharge frequency and magnitude across the Midwest.
