Competition between effective and less effective strains of Bradyrhizobium spp. for nodulation on Vigna radiataBiology and Fertility of Soils - Tập 33 - Trang 382-386 - 2001
F. Hafeez, S. Hameed, T. Ahmad, K. Malik
Local and exotic cowpea bradyrhizobial strains were examined for their
effectiveness and competitive ability on the cultivated Vigna radiata (mungbean)
variety NM-51. The seven most efficient N2-fixing strains were then evaluated
for their competitiveness against two less effective strains in a pair-wise
inoculation experiment. Nodule occupancy was determined using fluorescent
antibodies. The most... hiện toàn bộ
Impacts of elemental S applied under various temperature and moisture regimes on pH and available P in acidic, neutral and alkaline soilsBiology and Fertility of Soils - Tập 41 - Trang 52-58 - 2004
Ramesh C. Jaggi, Milkha S. Aulakh, R. Sharma
We evaluated the effect of elemental S (S0) under three moisture (40, 60, 120%
water-filled pore space; WFPS) and three temperature regimes (12, 24, 36°C) on
changes in pH and available P (0.5 N NaHCO3-extractable P) concentrations in
acidic (pH 4.9), neutral (pH 7.1) and alkaline (pH 10.2) soils. Repacked soil
cores were incubated for 0, 14, 28 and 42 days. Application of S0 did not alter
the tre... hiện toàn bộ
Zinc effects on a soil bacterial flora characterized by fatty acid composition of the isolatesBiology and Fertility of Soils - Tập 2 - Trang 59-63 - 1986
H. Ohya, Y. Komai, M. Yamaguchi
Effects of zinc (zinc chloride) added to a sandy clay loam soil on its bacterial
flora were investigated by the study of cellular fatty acid composition of the
isolates. The soil amended with glucose (carbon source) and ammonium sulfate
(nitrogen source) was incubated in the presence (1.0 mg/g) or absence of zinc
for 96 h. Bacterial strains were isolated on albumin agar from the incubated
soils ev... hiện toàn bộ
Plant residue-derived hydrophilic and hydrophobic fractions contribute to the formation of soil organic matterBiology and Fertility of Soils - Tập 57 - Trang 1021-1028 - 2021
Xiaodong Zheng, Chengming Liang, Xiangbi Chen, Yajun Hu, Husen Qiu, Yinhang Xia, Zhongzhen Liu, Lan Wei, Tida Ge, Anna Gunina, Yirong Su
The fate of hydrophilic, hydrophobic, and insoluble fractions extracted from
13C-labelled maize straw and their use for the formation of bacterial and
fungal-derived amino sugars (AS) were monitored during a 40-day incubation of
upland and paddy soils. The highest sequestration of C in the AS pool was
present in the hydrophilic fraction in both soils (1.1–1.4% of input C).

Changes in sorption/bioavailability of imidacloprid metabolites in soil with incubation timeBiology and Fertility of Soils - Tập 33 - Trang 546-550 - 2001
William C. Koskinen, Lucía Cox, Pau Yen
Changes in sorption/bioavailability of two metabolites, imidacloprid-urea
{1-[(6-chloro-3-pyridinyl)methyl]-2-imidazolidinone} and imidacloprid-guanidine
{1-[(6-chloro-3-pyridinyl)methyl]-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-amine} of the
insecticide imidacloprid
{1-[(6-chloro-3-pyridinyl)-methyl]-N-nitro-2-imidazolidinimine} with aging in
different soils were determined. Soil moisture was adjusted to –33 kP... hiện toàn bộ
Fate of Azolla spp. and urea nitrogen applied to wetland rice (Oryza sativa L.)Biology and Fertility of Soils - Tập 8 - Trang 102-110 - 1989
I. Watanabe, W. Ventura, G. Mascariña, D. L. Eskew
Using 15N, the fate of N applied to wetland rice either as Azolla or urea was
studied in a field at the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI). In
bigger plots nearby, yield response and N uptake were also determined with
unlabelled N sources. Azolla microphylla was labelled by repeated application of
labelled ammonium sulfate. Labelled and unlabelled N were used alternately in
applications ... hiện toàn bộ
Isoelectric focusing of humic substances on ultrathin polyacrylamide gels: evidence of fingerprint performanceBiology and Fertility of Soils - Tập 18 - Trang 163-167 - 1994
H. Kutsch, B. Schumacher
Differentiated interactions between humic substances and isoelectric
focusing-carrier ampholytes were demonstrated by comparing specific absorption
ratios from the supernatant after precipitation with 2 M HCl and with acid
ampholytes (pH 2–4) containing both carboxylic and sulphate groups. An
increasingly stronger interaction was observed when comparing soil humic
substances to those of synthetic ... hiện toàn bộ
Determination of soil microbial biomass phosphorus in acid red soils from southern ChinaBiology and Fertility of Soils - Tập 39 - Trang 446-451 - 2004
G.-C. Chen, Z.-L. He
A CHCl3 fumigation and 0.03 M NH4F-0.025 M HCl extraction procedure was used to
measure microbial biomass P (Pmic) in 11 acid red soils (pH <6.0) from southern
China and the results compared to those obtained by the commonly-used CHCl3
fumigation and 0.5 M NaHCO3 extraction method. Extraction with NH4F-HCl was
found to be more effective and accurate than NaHCO3 extraction for detecting the
increas... hiện toàn bộ
