Abstract:

The effect of sawdust mulch applied at 0-, 5- and 10-cm depths on yield of select clones of lowbush blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium Ait.) was studied in Prince Edward Island for three consecutive cropping cycles from 1985 to 1989. Sawdust applied post-plant, as a mulch, at a depth of 5 cm increased the total yield of the first three harvests by approximately 30% compared to the 0-cm mulch. Mean berry weight was also increased where sawdust was applied. There was not significant difference in yield between the 0- and 10-cm sawdust application treatments. The 10-cm sawdust mulch reduced plant

Cocoyam(<em>Xanthosoma sagittifolium </em>(L) is the third ranking carbohydrate in Nigeria and is intensively cultivated and consumed by resource-poor farm families in Southeastern and Southwestern parts of the Country. The crop has high potential as a food security crop but yields are very low and adequate research attention is yet to be accorded the crop for increased productivity. This trial was aimed at developing a sustainable technology for increased productivity of the crop.

Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is a crop that produces agricultural products. As it allows for effective agro-industrial development to support the local economy, groundnut is highly influential as a source of income for farmers. Soils that contain many chemicals may be the cause of low groundnut production in Indonesia. The objective of this study was to determine the types of mulch and biourine that affect the growth and production of groundnut plants. This study was conducted in kadutan hamlet, mlangi village, widang sub-district, tuban district, from april to july 2022. Factorial Randomiz

Abstract:

Saline-sodic clay minespoil materials excavated during open-cut coal mining in central Queensland, Australia, pose significant challenges for revegetation, particularly where suitable topsoil capping is not available. We examined the ability of sawdust or straw mulch amendments to ameliorate the adverse properties of these minespoils and improve the success of revegetation efforts. In laboratory studies, mulch application improved infiltration, increased soil moisture retention and reduced surface crust strength. In the field, mulches incorporated to a depth of 0.15 m at application rates of a

In this study an attempt was made to assess how different mulches affect the soil environment. In particular, different organic mulches such as leaf litter, straw and sawdust were tested in order to assess their capacities to amend the soil conditions. These analyses were carried out in the Hyrcanian mixed broadleaved forest. Organic mulches can compensate the litter layer loss on compaction-induced soil and accelerate the restoration process of soil properties, which takes from a few years to several decades without mulching.

In blueberry plantings, nitrification can result in losses of mineral nitrogen (N) through leaching because blueberries prefer ammonium (NH4+) over nitrate (NO3−). The objective of this study was to assess the effects of two rates of N fertilizer, mixed or not with nitrification inhibitors (NI) and applied through two fertigation systems, on berry yield and the concentrations of NH4+-N and NO3−-N along the soil profile. Thus, nine combinations of treatments including two N fertilizer rates (60 and 120 kg N ha−1), two NI (with DCD + Nitra-pyrin or without) and two fertigation application method
