Salinization induced by salt stress is a critical environmental factor, and limits the expansion of agricultural areas and population distribution in continental regions, including Saudi Arabia. Common beans, a vital source of protein, energy, and di...

A field study was conducted to investigate the effects of selected climate-smart agriculture practices on soil bulk density (ρ), porosity (β), hydraulic conductivity (Ksat), and nutrient dynamics in southeast Texas. Treatment combinations of...

A previous report showed that methanol extracts from soil collected one year after harvesting American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) contained activity that increased root rot caused by Ilyonectria mors-panacis. This effect was associated with suppre...

Regenerative agriculture increasingly relies on organic soil amendments to improve soil fertility and crop productivity. This study evaluates the effects of dried algae (DA), vermicompost (VC), liquid hydrolyzed fish and seaweed fertilizer (LA), and...

Soilborne plant pathogens significantly impact agroecosystem productivity, emphasizing the need for effective control methods to ensure sustainable agriculture. Soil fungistasis, the soil’s ability to inhibit fungal spore germination under opti...

(1) Background: The rapid growth in the number of nanoparticles today raises questions about studying their impact on the environment, including the soil, as the main absorber of nanoparticles. The purpose of our research was to study the effect of M...

Precision agriculture relies on highly detailed soil maps to optimize resource use. Proximal sensing methods, such as EMI, require a certain number of soil samples and laboratory analysis to interpolate the characteristics of the soil. NIR diffuse re...

Geogenic chromium (Cr) and vanadium (V) contamination of groundwater in the Piedmont region of North Carolina poses threats to public health. These contaminants are naturally derived from saprolite and aquifer materials, but geochemical variability i...

Fragipans are dense subsurface soil layers that severely restrict root penetration and water movement. The presence of shallow fragipan horizons limits row crop production. We hypothesized that the roots of cover crop might improve soil physiochemica...
