Abstract:
Suppressive effects of soil amendment with residues of 12 cultivars of Brassica rapa on damping-off of sugar beet were evaluated in soils infested with Rhizoctonia solani. Residues of clover and peanut were tested as noncruciferous controls. The incidence of damping-off was significantly and consistently suppressed in the soils amended with residues of clover, peanut, and B. rapa subsp. rapifera ‘Saori’, but only the volatile substance produced from water-imbibed residue of cv. Saori exhibited a distinct inhibitory effect on mycelial growth of R. solani. Nonetheless, disease suppression in such residue-amended soils was diminished or nullified when antibacterial antibiotics were applied to the soils, suggesting that proliferation of antagonistic bacteria resident to the soils were responsible for disease suppression. When the seed (pericarps) colonized by R. solani in the infested soil without residues were replanted into the soils amended with such residues, damping-off was suppressed in all cases. In contrast, when seed that had been colonized by microorganisms in the soils containing the residues were replanted into the infested soil, damping-off was not suppressed. The evidence indicates that the laimosphere, but not the spermosphere, is the site for the antagonistic microbial interaction, which is the chief principle of soil suppressiveness against Rhizoctonia damping-off.

Abstract:
Tomato fruit (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill) is an important vegetable commodity in Ghana, as it is consumed daily in many households either heat-treated or without any form of heat treatments. Tomato production is a major source of income for many smallholder producers in Northern Ghana especially through dry season farming when the major supply of tomatoes from Southern Ghana is exhausted. Research conducted for the past decade confirmed the presence of pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables such as cabbage, onion, cucumber, lettuce, tomatoes, okra and pepper. The objective of this study was to identify and estimate pesticide residual levels in the soil and tomato fruits in comparison with the maximum allowable residual limits. The research was carried out in two production communities namely Doba where the “Burkina” variety is mostly grown in the Kassena Nankana East District of the Upper East Region and Bunglung where the “Wosowoso” variety is cultivated in the Savelugu/Nanton Municipality of Northern Region. Soil samples were collected for residue determination before transplanting of tomato seedlings. Matured and ripe tomato fruits were also collected for the determination of the presence and amount of pesticide residues. All soil and plant samples were analysed using high performance liquid chromatography to determine the presence of twenty-four organochlorines and thirteen organophosphate pesticide residues. From the analysis, pesticide residues were present in different variations which ranged from 0.002 – 0.033 and 0.003 – 0.022 (soils) and 0.330 – 1.187 and 0.002 – 0.088 (fruits) for organochlorines and organophosphates respectively for both communities. Levels of pesticide residues were generally above the acceptable maximum residue limits as farmer practices produced fruits with more pesticide residues since the land areas could have been predisposed with residues from previous seasons for other food crops, which could be translocated into the tomato plant and through into the fruits. The presence of pesticide residues could also be attributed to the influence of run-off and drift from other cultivated lands. For effective determination of pesticides residues in the tomato plants, it is essential to use uncontaminated soil and water to facilitate the efficient estimation of pesticide residues in tomatoes and plants in general.

Abstract:
The rates of transfer of P from plant residues added to an acid soil into various soil P pools and the rates of transfer of inorganic P from soil solution into other soil P pools were studied by simultaneous use of 32P-labelled plant matter and 33P-labelled soil in the presence and absence of growing plants. Equilibration of 33P-labelled phosphate solution added to soil reached a steady state with soil ALP and Fe-P pools within 1 day after addition. The Fe-P pool was much more stable than the A1-P pool since it was not depleted by cropping. This non-labile pool 'fixed' over 30% of the 33P added and similar amounts of the 32P released from plant residues. About 50% of the 32P from plant residues was found in inorganic P pools 11 days after addition. This rapid release was attributed to the presence of soluble inorganic P in the residues. A further 10% was released slowly over the remainder of the experiment. Cropping only marginally slowed rates of transfer of inorganic and released residue P into non-labile pools. Cropping had no effect on the rates of release of P from crop residues.

Transforming plant carbon into soil carbon: Process-level controls on carbon sequestration. Can. J. Plant Sci. 94: 1065–1073. Plants figure prominently in efforts to promote C sequestration in agricultural soils, and to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The objective of the project was to measure the transformations of plant carbon in soil through controlled laboratory experiments, to further understand (1) root-associated CO2 and N2O production during a plant's life cycle, (2) decomposition of plant residues leading to CO2 production, and (3) stabilization and retention of undecomposed plant residues and microbial by-products in the resistant soil C fraction. Experimental plant materials included transgenic near isolines of Zea mays L. and cell wall mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana, selected for their diverse residue chemistry. Phenology, morphology and above-ground biomass affected soil respiration and N2O production in root-associated soils. Mineralization of C and N from incubated plant–soil mixtures was complemented with stable isotope tracing (13C, 15N) and 13C-phospholipid fatty acid analysis. Advanced chemical techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and physical separation (particle size and density separation) were used to track the transformations of plant C into stable soil C compounds. Conceptual models were proposed to explain how the plant residue chemistry×soil physico-chemical interaction affects C sequestration. Incorporating single gene mutations affecting lignin biosynthesis into agricultural and bioenergy crops has the potential to alter short- and long-term C cycling in agroecosystems.

Abstract:
Wheat plants (Triticum aestivum cv. Warigal) here grown in a solonised brown soil (Calcixerollic xerochrept) which had been previously cropped to medic (Medicago trunculata cv. Paraggio). The 33P-labelled medic residues and 32P-labelled monocalcium phosphate were added to the soil in factorial combination. Amounts of 31P, 32P and 33P in the wheat plants and in the soil microbial biomass were determined. Addition of residues depressed wheat dry weight, 31P and 32P uptake, while simultaneously increasing amounts of 31P and 32P incorporated into the microbial biomass. Addition of fertiliser had no effect on the proportion of plant P taken up from the residues, but significantly increased the proportion of microbial P derived from this source. The 31P held in the microbial biomass was significantly increased by both residue and fertiliser P addition, with the former having the larger effect. Of the total P applied to the soil, medic residues contributed approximately one-quarter of that supplied by the fertiliser. Of the total P in the wheat plant, medic residues supplied approximately one-fifth of that supplied by the fertiliser.

Abstract:
In Vietnam, approximately 39 million tons of rice (Oryza sativa) residues accrue every year. In this study, we quantified soil nutrient balances of paddy rice fields under different crop-residue management practices in northern Vietnam. On twelve farms, we calculated nutrient balances for the four prevalent rice-residue management practices, i.e., (1) direct incorporation of rice residues into the soil, (2) application of rice-residue compost, (3) burning of rice residues on the field, and (4) the use of rice residues as fodder for livestock. Soils under practices (1) to (3) showed a positive nutrient balance, which indicates that soil fertility can be maintained under these practices and that the amounts of chemical fertilizers can be considerably reduced. If not, there is a risk of eutrophication in the surrounding surface waterbodies. Practice (4), in contrast, resulted in a negative nutrient balance, which indicates the need for returning nutrients to the soils. From our findings we conclude that knowledge about the effects of rice-residue management practices on nutrient cycles may help to optimize the use of fertilizers, resulting in a more sustainable form of agriculture.

Abstract:
<p>Salinization and sodification of agricultural lands in arid and semi-arid regions of the world are two limiting factors in the crop production. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of readily available agricultural residues on changing some chemical properties of saline-sodic soils. Wheat, potato, sunflower, and canola residues were separately added into three saline-sodic soils at a rate of 2% by weight and thoroughly mixed with soils. Control and treated soils were incubated for 168 days at a constant moisture and temperature. The pH, electrical conductivity (EC), soluble cations, available nitrate (NO3-) and phosphorous (P), cation exchange capacity (CEC), and exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP) were measured during the incubation. The EC increased in the response to the incorporation of plant residues, whereas the pH was reduced. The application of organic components in soils increased CEC and decreased ESP. The results showed that the maximum reduction in ESP was observed in the potato treatment because of the highest Ca2+ concentration. The average reduction in ESP of treated soil samples at the end of incubation followed this order: 16.1% (potato residue-treated soil) &gt;12.7% (canola residue-treated soil) &gt;11.1% (wheat residue-treated soil) &gt;9.6% (sunflwer residue-treated soil). The potato residue was the most effective amendment in changing the chemical properties of saline-sodic soils in comparison with other organic residues. The results indicated that the application of organic residues had a positive impact on reducing the soil sodicity and improving the soil fertility depending on their chemical composition.</p>

Abstract:
Soil suppressiveness to soilborne pathogens can evolve following the incorporation of plant residues in the soil and solarization. We studied its occurrence by assessing disease incidence and severity in sandy soil which was infested after the disinfestation treatment. Disease incidence and severity of crown and root rot in cucumber plants inoculated with Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. radicis-cucumerinum macroconidia were reduced by 20 to 80% when seedlings were planted in the tested soils 2 to 34 months after soil amendment. Residues of Diplotaxis tenuifolia (wild rocket [WR]), Artemisia dracunculus (tarragon), Salvia officinalis (sage), and Brassica oleracea var. italica (broccoli) were most effective for inducing soil suppressiveness. Effective soil suppressiveness continued to be evident after repeated inoculations and plantings in the same soil without additional treatment between inoculations. Moreover, residues of WR induced soil suppressiveness in two additional tested soils differing in their physical and chemical properties. Residues of Rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary), Coriandrum sativum (coriander), Mentha piperita (peppermint), and B. oleraceae var. botrytis (cauliflower) induced disease suppression at the first inoculated planting but not upon repeated inoculation and planting. The contribution of soil solarization to the evolution of soil suppressiveness, albeit evident, was inconsistent. Soil suppressiveness to Fusarium crown and root rot was also observed when cucumber seed were sown in soils which were initially amended with WR residues and later infested with F. oxysporum f. sp. radicis-cucumerinum chlamydospores. There is a potential for the use of plant residues for inducing soil suppressiveness and further contributing to the control of diseases caused by soilborne pathogens.

Abstract:
Corn and other crops genetically modified to express the insecticidal δ-endotoxin from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) are grown widely across north America. Studies have shown that the δ -endotoxin can be stabilised on soil colloids where its activity is retained, but reports of direct ecological effects of the δ-endotoxin on soil processes are limited. We have determined the concentrations of the δ-endotoxin in organic residues fro m Bt-corn plants at increasing stages of ageing and decay, and the subsequent decomposition in soil of these residues and the δ-endotoxin in them. The δ-endotoxin concentrations declined from 6.8 μg g-1 in the fresh plant material, to 0.82 μg g-1 in the post-harvest residues collected in the fall, and to 0.026 μg g-1 in the residues collected from soil surface the following spring. The concentration of δ -endotoxin in buried residues collected in the spring was not significantly different from zero. When incubated in soil in the laboratory over 84 d, the δ-endotoxin decomposed more rapidly than bulk plant C by factors of 1.85 for the fresh plant materials and 3.21 for the post-harvest residues. Within 14 d of incubation, the δ-endotoxin concentration in the residues collected at the soil surface was below the limit of detection. We contrasted the laboratory decomposition data with data from a field experiment to estimate the period that the δ-endotoxin in corn residues may survive in the field. Based on estimates derived from this comparison, we predict that following an October harvest in eastern Ontario the δ-endotoxin would fall below the detection threshold during November for post-harvest residues. Since stabilisation of the δ-endotoxin on soil colloids depends on it surviving (i.e., not being decomposed) for long enough to be released from the plant residue matrix and come into proximity with colloid surfaces, the rapid decay of the δ-endotoxin suggests that only a small fraction of the δ-endotoxin from post-harvest residues persists long enough to become stabilised in the field.

Abstract:
Under natural grassland or native prairie, aboveground residue or surface litter modifies the microenvironment. It promotes water infiltration and, by insulating the soil surface, moderates soil temperatures and limits evaporation. Root mass decomposes and transforms within the conditions created by surface litter. Together with root exudates, this below-ground residue or subsurface litter reacts with soil minerals to form aggregates, lower bulk density and increase water-holding capacity. Bringing such soils under cultivation leads to lower soil organic matter content, thereby increasing bulk density. The role of surface litter becomes even more important, as it affects wind and water erosion, reduces the impact of raindrops, prevents crusting, protects the soil from drying by sublimation, and captures snow. Management of crop residues depends on the role of the residue. A distinction must be made between above- and below-ground residues: their roles are distinctly different. Aboveground crop residue protects the soil and creates the conditions for below-ground residue to decompose and transform. These decomposition products, in turn, create favourable soil structure for plant growth. Research is needed on the effect of repeated harvesting of "excess" aboveground residues.

Abstract:
[Truncated abstract] A greater adoption of stubble retention, minimum-till and no-till farming practices for the purposes of conserving soil, water and fertility requires a greater understanding of the complexity of physical and chemical interactions between the soil and crop residues. There is currently insufficient knowledge to allow reliable predictions of the effects of different residue types in different environments on soil fertility and crop growth, owing to the many residue characteristics and environmental interactions that have been shown to affect decomposition or nutrient release. The role of fibre and nutrient composition in nutrient release from crop residues, and implications for residue management techniques, were studied. Canola, lupin and field pea residues, obtained from farmland in Meckering and Northam, Western Australia, were separated into upper and basal stems, leaves, and siliques or pods. This was done to provide materials with a wide range of chemical and physical characteristics, and also allowed consideration of differential residue management of plant organs, such as comparing harvested canola siliques and retained canola stubble. Pre-treatment by chopping and/or humidification was applied to residues to provide some information about the processes of nutrient release. Residues were subjected to simulated rainfall to assess nutrient leaching from plant material, and placed on soil in pots in constant-temperature glasshouse conditions to assess decomposition. Amounts and rates of change of residue fibre and nutrients were determined throughout leaching and decomposition. Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) microanalysis was used to assess the location of diffusible ions in air-dried residues and the effects of humidification on nutrient positioning and release. ... However, the release of calcium and magnesium depended on the decomposition of the more recalcitrant components such as cellulose and lignin, as supported by microscopy results showing changes in nutrient distribution following humidification. The proportionality of amounts of calcium and magnesium leached and released during decomposition is likely to suggest a similarity of chemical form more than similarity of function or position of the two elements. Management of crop residues for maximising and optimising the timing of release of different nutrients will need to take into account the placement of different plant types and parts, particle sizes distribution and pre-treatment of material to efficiently manage short- and long-term soil fertility to sustain crops, particularly on degraded soils. Significant nutrient release of potassium, sulphur and magnesium from crop residues can be achieved from surface placement, with the release of potassium and sulphur managed by modifying residue particle size through appropriate harvesting, ploughing or sowing implement selection. High nutrient uptake crops and plant parts –where they can be economically viable to grow or separated by the harvesting technique – are particularly valuable as sources of nutrients and soil organic matter.

Abstract:
La décomposition des résidus végétaux joue un rôle essentiel dans le cycle biogéochimique des éléments nutritifs et influence le fonctionnement des écosystèmes. La composition biochimique intrinsèque des résidus végétaux est un facteur clé qui influe sur les processus de décomposition dans le sol tandis que la majorité des réactions biochimiques dans le sol, liées à la biodégradation des résidus végétaux, sont catalysées par des enzymes extracellulaires produites par les microorganismes. L'objectif global de cette étude était d'acquérir des connaissances fondamentales concernant l'impact de la qualité des résidus sur les fonctions microbiennes du sol et les modes d'intervention des enzymes du sol interviennent dans la décomposition des résidus végétaux. Cet objectif a été atteint en trois parties visant à : 1) déterminer le rôle des communautés initiales des résidus i.e. les microorganismes et leurs enzymes provenant des compartiments épiphytes et endophytes, et l'effet de la qualité des résidus végétaux sur les cinétiques des enzymes extracellulaires au cours du processus de décomposition dans le sol 2) étudier l'effet des fonctions microbiennes du sol (biomasse microbienne et enzymes extracellulaires) liées à la minéralisation sur la décomposition ultérieure de résidus introduits dans le même sol 3) explorer les interactions entre la disponibilité en azote et la décomposition des composés phénoliques par l'action des activités oxydo-réductases, et développer une méthode pour mesurer ces activités dans des sols contrastés en utilisant un seul substrat. L'approche générale de cette étude a été de sélectionner les résidus végétaux de qualité chimique variable pour obtenir des cinétiques contrastées de minéralisation du C. Le maïs (Zea mays L.) a été choisi comme plante modèle en raison de variations chimiques et structurales (Mexxal, F2, F2bm1, F292bm3) des parties aériennes (feuilles, entre-nœuds) et souterraines (racines). Des tiges de lin marqué au 13C ont été utilisées pour quantifier avec précision la minéralisation du carbone dans les différents réservoirs de carbone. Afin d'évaluer les relations entre la qualité des résidus végétaux et les fonctions biologiques associées au sol, des expériences en microcosmes contrôlés ont été réalisées en utilisant des sols agricoles et forestiers. La minéralisation du carbone, les caractéristiques chimiques des résidus (teneurs en C et N, les sucres totaux et lignine), la biomasse microbienne et les activités enzymatiques (L-leucine aminopeptidase (LAP), cellobiohydrolase (CBH-1), xylanase, cellulase et la laccase) ont été déterminées à différents stades de décomposition. Les résultats de la première étude ont indiqué que les activités de micro-organismes épiphytes et endogènes étaient du même ordre de grandeur dans le cas des racines, tandis que les activités des enzymes spécifiques (cellulase, xylanase et laccase) étaient fortement corrélées à la dégradation de leurs substrats cibles (glucanes, xylanes et lignine, respectivement). Dans la seconde étude, l'addition répétée de résidus a eu peu d'effet sur la biomasse microbienne et la dynamique enzymatique, sauf la LAP et la laccase. Ces résultats suggèrent que la qualité des résidus végétaux est le principal facteur déterminant les modes d'action de la biomasse microbienne et de leurs enzymes extracellulaires durant le processus de décomposition dans le sol. Les résultats de la dernière étude ont démontré que l'addition d'azote réprimait la minéralisation du carbone des résidus les moins lignifiés (F2, F2bm1), mais n'a pas affecté celle du résidu plus lignifié (F292bm3) au cours de la décomposition à long terme. L'ABTS est apparu comme un meilleur substrat que le L-DOPA, le pyrogallol et le TMB pour estimer les activités phénoloxydase et peroxydase.Mots clés: décomposition, biomasse microbienne, enzymes extracellulaires, qualité des résidus, maïs
Plant residue decomposition plays a pivotal role in the biogeochemical cycling of nutrients and influences ecosystem functioning. The intrinsic biochemical composition of plant residues is a key factor influencing decomposition processes in soil while the majority of biochemical reactions in soil, related to the biodegradation of plant residues, are catalyzed by extracellular enzymes produced by microorganisms. The overall goal of this research study was to gain fundamental knowledge regarding the impact of residue quality on soil microbial functions and the principles by which soil enzymes mediate plant residue decomposition. This goal was achieved in three parts: 1) to determine the role of the initial residue community i.e. microorganisms and enzymes from the epiphytic and endophytic compartments and effect of plant residue quality on the extracellular enzyme kinetics during the decomposition process in soil 2) to investigate the effect of soil microbial functions (microbial biomass and extracellular enzymes) on the subsequent residue decomposition in the same soil 3) to explore the interactions between nitrogen availability and the decomposition of phenolic compounds through the action of oxydo-reductase enzymes activities and to develop a method to measure these activities in contrasted soils using a single substrate. The general approach of this study was to select plant residues with variations in their chemical quality to obtain contrasted C mineralization kinetics. Maize (Zea mays L.) was selected as a model plant because of variations in chemical and structural characteristics (Mexxal, F2, F2bm1, F292bm3) of aerial (leaves, internodes) and underground parts (roots). 13C-labeled flax stems were used to quantify accurately carbon mineralization in different carbon pools. To assess the relationships between plant residue quality and associated soil biological functions, controlled microcosm experiments were performed using agricultural and forest soils. Carbon mineralization and chemical characteristics (C and N contents, total sugars and lignin contents) of the plant residue, microbial biomass and enzyme activities (L-leucine aminopeptidase (LAP), cellobiohydrolase (CBH-1), xylanase, cellulase and laccase) were determined at different stages of decomposition. The results of first study indicated that activities of epiphytic and endogenic microorganisms were of the same order of magnitude in case of roots while the activities of specific enzymes (cellulase, xylanase and laccase) were highly correlated to the degradation of their target substrates (glucans, xylans and lignin, respectively). In the second study, little effect of repeated residue addition was observed on microbial biomass and enzyme dynamics except LAP and laccase. These results suggest that plant residue quality is the main factor which determines the fate/patterns of microbial biomass and their extracellular enzymes during decomposition process in soil. The results of last study demonstrated that nitrogen addition repressed the carbon mineralization of less lignified residues (F2, F2bm1) but did not affect more lignified residue (F292bm3) in long term decomposition. For estimation of phenol oxidase and peroxidase activities, ABTS appeared as a better substrate than L-DOPA, pyrogallol and TMB.Key words: decomposition, microbial biomass, extracellular enzymes, residue quality, maize

Abstract:
AbstractPotassium (K) is found in plants as a free ion or in weak complexes. It is easily released from living or decomposing tissues, and it should be considered in fertilization programs. Several factors affect K cycling in agroecosystems, including soil and fertilizer K contributions, plant K content and exports, mineralization rates from residues, soil chemical reactions, rainfall, and time. Soil K+ ions can be leached, remain as exchangeable K, or migrate to non-exchangeable forms. Crop rotations that include vigorous, deep-rooted cover crops capable of exploring non-exchangeable K in soil are an effective strategy for recycling K and can prevent leaching below the rooting zone in light-textured soils. The amount of K released by cover crops depends on biomass production. Potassium recycled with non-harvested components of crops also varies greatly. Research with maize, soybean, and wheat has shown that 50–60% of K accumulated in vegetative tissues is released within 40–45 days. A better understanding of K cycling would greatly improve the efficacy of K management for crop production. When studying K cycling in agricultural systems, it is important to consider: (1) K addition from fertilizers and organic amendments; (2) K left in residues; (3) K partitioning differences among species; (4) soil texture; (5) soil pools that act as temporary sources or sinks for K. In this chapter, the role of cash and cover crops and organic residues on K cycling are explored to better understand how these factors could be integrated into making K fertilizer recommendations.

Abstract:
AbstractSoils harbour diverse soil faunaand a wide range of soil microorganisms. These fauna and microorganisms directly contribute to soil greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes via their respiratory and metabolic activities and indirectly by changing the physical, chemical and biological properties of soils through bioturbation, fragmentation and redistribution of plant residues, defecation, soil aggregate formation, herbivory, and grazing on microorganisms and fungi. Based on recent results, the methods and results found in relation to fauna as well as from fungi and plants are presented. The approaches are outlined, and the significance of these hitherto ignored fluxes is discussed.

Abstract:
AbstractThe starting point of this work is the intention of two farmers’ initiatives to disseminate locally developed and adapted cooking and sanitation technologies to smallholder households in Karagwe District, in northwest Tanzania. These technologies include improved cooking stoves (ICSs), such as microgasifiers, and a system combining biogas digesters and burners for cooking, as well as urine-diverting dry toilets, and thermal sterilisation/pasteurisation for ecological sanitation (EcoSan). Switching to the new alternatives could lead to a higher availability of domestic residues for soil fertility management. These residues include biogas slurry from anaerobic digestion, powdery biochar from microgasifiers and sanitised human excreta from EcoSan facilities. Such recycling-driven approaches address an existing problem for many smallholders in sub-Saharan Africa, namely, the lack of soil amenders to sufficiently replenish soil nutrients and soil organic matter (SOM) in soils used for agricultural activity. This example from Tanzania systematically examines the nexus of ‘energy-sanitation-agriculture’ in smallholder farming systems. The short-term experiments demonstrated that all soil amenders that were analysed could significantly enhance crop productivity. CaSa-compost – the product of co-composting biochar with sanitised human excreta – quadrupled grain yields. The observed stimulation of crop yield and also plant nutrition is attributed to improved nutrient availability caused by a direct increase of soil pH and of plant-available phosphorus (P) in the soil. The assessment of the lasting soil implications revealed that CaSa-compost and biogas slurry both show the long-term potential to roughly double yields of maize. Corresponding nutrient requirements can be adequately compensated through residue capturing and subsistence production of soil amenders. The potential of CaSa-compost for sustainable soil fertility management is superior to that of standard compost, especially with respect to liming, replenishing soil P and restoring SOM. Biogas slurry, however, yields inferior results in all aspects when compared to compost amendments.

Abstract:
AbstractSoil potassium (K) has traditionally been portrayed as residing in four functional pools: solution K, exchangeable K, interlayer (sometimes referred to as “fixed” or “nonexchangeable”) K, and structural K in primary minerals. However, this four-pool model and associated terminology have created confusion in understanding the dynamics of K supply to plants and the fate of K returned to the soil in fertilizers, residues, or waste products. This chapter presents an alternative framework to depict soil K pools. The framework distinguishes between micas and feldspars as K-bearing primary minerals, based on the presence of K in interlayer positions or three-dimensional framework structures, respectively; identifies a pool of K in neoformed secondary minerals that can include fertilizer reaction products; and replaces the “exchangeable” K pool with a pool defined as “surface-adsorbed” K, identifying where the K is located and the mechanism by which it is held rather than identification based on particular soil testing procedures. In this chapter, we discuss these K pools and their behavior in relation to plant K acquisition and soil K dynamics.

Abstract The chapter highlights the potential benefits associated with the use of insect-rearing residues as biofertilizers while exploring the mechanisms by which chitin in insect frass might control common crop pathogens. The potential benefits for soil fertility derived from the use of insect frass, comparison of quality of insect-derived biofertilizers and common organic and inorganic fertilizers and insect frass and plant health improvement are discussed. While more research is essential to understand the true value of insect-derived biofertilizers for plant and soil health, preliminary findings suggest there are significant opportunities for beneficial impacts in agriculture and horticulture to be realized.

Abstract:
To identify microorganisms that can penetrate into the endophytic niche of the grain of barley plants, many years of vegetative experiments were conducted on sod-podzolic soil without the use of mineral fertilizers. In the non-growing season, a biological product, consisting of cellulolytic association of bacteria with genotypic passport, decomposed barley straw. Presowing treatment of seeds was not carried out, therefore, during the growing season; local microorganisms decomposing plant residues could be present in the barley rhizosphere. After six years of rotation of barley plants, the microbiological composition of its seed niche was studied. As a result, it was found that in the seeds of barley bacteria are present in an amount of 240 ± 20 CFU/g of grain. Isolated pure cultures of microorganisms were identified as Cellulomonas gelida, Micrococcus luteus and Bacillus licheniformis by the sequence of ITS fragments of 16S rRNA. These types of bacteria were also present in the used biological product. Based on the research conducted, it can be assumed, that permanent cultivation of barley plants and sowing of seeds of the previous year can contribute to the formation of effective microbial and plant biosystems that are resistant to environmental stress.

Abstract:
Treatment of the triticale phytomass with the complex biological preparation KBP-5M before incorporation into the soil contributed to the activation of microbiological processes in the 0-30 cm layer. In the variants when the plant was in the phenological stage of spike emergence, we noted an increase in the content of N-NO3 by 0.19-0.46 mg per 100 g of soil; Р2О5 – up to 2.97; K2О – up to mg/100 g. The reason for that was the maximum accumulation of organic matter in the phytomass of triticale at the aforementioned stage of development (8.25-8.52 t/ha). The use of KBP-5M had a positive effect on the development of winter wheat when green manure was the preceding crop. There is a tendency to increase the density of the stalk by 13.3 %, including productive stems – by 3.9 % and the number of grains from 10 plants – by 1.7 % compared to the use of triticale plants as an organic fertilizer without the treatment with biological preparation. Despite the trend of increasing yields from 4.32 to 4.43 t/ha, no reliable yield increase was obtained. When applying KBP-5M on triticale plant residues, there was an increase in protein content by 0.3 % and gluten – by 1.1 % compared to variants without the biological preparation. According to the indicators of 1000-grain weight and hectolitre weight, there were no significant differences between the studied variants. The use of KBP-5M has been justified from an economic point of view since 277 to 1535 rubles per ha of contingent net income was obtained and the payback ratio for the use of the biological product was 1.05–5.79.

Full text
Abstract:
Electrical Resistance Heating (ERH) is an aggressive in situ thermal remediation technology that was developed by the U.S. Department of Energy from the original oil production technology to enhance vapor extraction remediation technologies in low permeability soils. Soil and groundwater are heated by the passage of electrical current through saturated and unsaturated soil between electrodes, not by the electrodes themselves. It is the resistance to the flow of electrical current that results in increased subsurface temperatures, and this is typically applied to the boiling point of water. It is estimated that more than 75 ERH applications have been performed. Capacity to perform these projects has increased over the years, and as many as 15 to 20 of these applications now being performed at any given time, mainly in North America, with some European applications. While the main focus has been to vaporize volatile organic compounds, as one would expect other semi-volatile and non-volatile organic compounds have also been encountered, resulting in observations of chemical and physical reactions that have not been normally incorporated into environmental restoration projects. One such reaction is hydrolysis, which is slow under normal groundwater temperatures, becomes very rapid under temperatures that can easily be achieved using ERH. As a result, these chemical and physical reactions are increasing the applicability of ERH in environmental restoration projects, treating a wider variety of compounds and utilizing biotic and abiotic mechanisms to reduce energy costs. For the treatment of oil and coal tar residues from manufactured gas plants, a process TRS has called steam bubble floatation is used to physically remove the coal and oil tar from the soils for collection using conventional multi-phase collection methods. Heat-enhanced hydrolysis has been used to remediate dichloromethane from soils and groundwater at a site in Illinois, while heat-enhanced biotic and abiotic dehalogenation has been observed at the vast majority of the sites where ERH has been applied. With disposal options becoming more limited around the world, alternate in situ treatment methods for soil and groundwater restoration are becoming more important. Over the 10 years of commercialization of the ERH technology, soil and groundwater remediation mechanisms and processes that were not envisioned by the technology’s developers expand the range of chemicals that have successfully been treated. This paper will discuss these processes and how these processes have been used to effect remediation of soil and groundwater where ERH has been employed.

Full text
Abstract:
The Atucha II nuclear power plant is a unique pressurized heavy water reactor being constructed in Argentina. The original plant design was by KWU in the 1970’s using the then German methodology of break preclusion, which assumed that the largest break-opening area would be 10-percent of the cross-sectional area of the largest pipe diameter. That philosophy was used for the design of the emergency core cooling system in the 1970’s. The plant construction was halted for several decades, but a recent need for power was the driver for restarting the construction. The construction is progressing with initial start-up in 2011. Since the 10-percent of the cross-sectional area is a smaller ECCS design requirement than the normally assumed double-ended-guillotine break, the safety evaluation of the plant for beyond design basis seismic loading of the nuclear plant was a regulatory requirement. This overview paper describes a Robust LBB Evaluation that was conducted in great detail to assess the safety aspects of the piping system under beyond design basis seismic loading and the implications to the ECCS. Key aspects involved: • Static and dynamic material property testing, • Determination of weld residual stresses, • Determination of crack sizes that might evolve by worst case SCC growth rates under weld residual stresses and normal operating stresses, • Determination of leakage rates as a function of time with the upper-bounding crack growth rates, • Development of seismic hazard curves for the site, • Development of FE models of the containment building and primary NSSS system within the building, • Determination of normal operating stresses, SSE stresses and 10−6 seismic stresses using worst case soil foundation assumptions, • Evaluation of flaw behavior for circumferential cracks using the shapes from the natural crack growth. • Evaluation of margins on the critical flaw size and times to leakage, and • Standard LBB analyses, as well as Transition Break Size evaluations. The key result from this effort was that even with all the normal operating plus 10−6 seismic event loading, the pipe system behaved more like it was displacement-controlled than load-controlled. The displacement-controlled behavior made the pipe much more flaw tolerant, and it was found that a DEGB was not possible because the flaw could never reach the critical flaw size without greatly surpassing the leakage and water make-up capacity of the plant. Since there are many details in this multi-year effort, only the key points will be summarized in this paper while other details will be the topics of other papers.

Abstract:
Metallic residues are distributed heterogeneously onto small-arms range soils from projectile fragmentation upon impact with a target or berm backstop. Incremental Sampling Methodology (ISM) can address the spatially heterogeneous contamination of surface soils on small-arms ranges, but representative kilogram-sized ISM subsamples are affected by the range of metallic residue particle sizes in the sample. This study compares the precision and concentrations of metals in a small-arms range soil sample processed by a puck mill, ring and puck mill, ball mill, and mortar and pestle prior to analysis. The ball mill, puck mill, and puck and ring mill produced acceptable relative standard deviations of less than 15% for the anthropogenic metals of interest (Lead (Pb), Antimony (Sb), Copper (Cu), and Zinc (Zn)), with the ball mill exhibiting the greatest precision for Pb, Cu, and Zn. Precision by mortar and pestle, without milling, was considerably higher (40% to >100%) for anthropogenic metals. Media anthropogenic metal concentrations varied by more than 40% between milling methods, with the greatest concentrations produced by the puck mill, followed by the puck and ring mill and then the ball mill. Metal concentrations were also dependent on milling time, with concentrations stabilizing for the puck mill by 300 s but still increasing for the ball mill over 20 h. Differences in metal concentrations were not directly related to the surface area of the milled sample. Overall, the tested milling methods were successful in producing reproducible data for soils containing metallic residues. However, the effects of milling type and time on concentrations require consideration in environmental investigations.
