Agricultural application of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW), as nutrient source for plants and as soil conditioner, is the most cost-effective option of MSW management because of its advantages over traditional means such as ...

The use of applied phosphorus (P) and the uptake of nutrients from the soil by plants can be improved when the fertilizer is combined with the application of humic substances (HS). However, these beneficial effects are ...

Soil solution analysis has shown to be a promising method for soil fertility diagnosis, mainly in fertigation systems. The objective of this study was to evaluate the behavior of nutrients in soil and soil solution by ...

Potassium (K) leaching is affected by soil texture and available K, among other factors. In this experiment, effects of soil texture and K availability on K distribution were studied in the presence of roots, with no excess ...

1. The activity of soil-disturbing animals that increase soil nutrients can affect the carbon : nitrogen (C : N) ratio of plants, which, in turn, may determine the transfer of energy and nutrients through higher trophic ...

Industrialization has contributed to the increase in the generation of potentially toxic solid residues. Textile and tannery industries produce residues, called sludge, with high organic and inorganic content, including ...

Annual and monthly quantities of nutrients wich returned to the soil through litter fall in Pinus elliottii Engelm. var. elliottii stand were estimated durint a two years period, in Experimental Station of Mogi-Guacu, SP. ...

Liming is indispensable in acid soils for amending acidity; however, the technique may alter the cation balance in soil and, consequently, may limit the availability and uptake of nutrients. We aimed to evaluate different ...

The experiment was conducted in PVC tubes, in a greenhouse, using a randomized block design with four replications, in a factorial arrangement (4x3x2) equivalent to four varieties, three levels of soil compaction in the ...
