Abstract:
... Several greenhouse experiments were conducted to compare various Ca treatments on selected vegetative and reproductive characteristics of Starr and NC2 peanuts. Calcium and K uptake and distribution characteristics in Starr and NC2 peanut plant parts were studied also. Starr and NC2 peanuts were grown in sand cultures with separated rooting and fruiting containers for direct comparisons. Starr and ...

Subject:
Oxisols; adsorbents; adsorption; ametryn; atrazine; charcoal; montmorillonite; protonation; soil pH; solubility; sorption isotherms; temperature
Abstract:
... Adsorption of ametryne exceeded that of atrazine on soil and montmorillonite at both low and high pH. Ametryne (pKₐ ≅ 4.0) showed a greater increase in adsorption with decrease in pH than atrazine (pKₐ = 1.68). Addition of charcoal to soil masked the effect of soil pH on ametryne adsorption. Adsorption of ametryne on charcoal decreased at the low pH values conducive to ametryne protonation, demons ...

Subject:
computer software; diffusivity; equations; least squares; soil water; soil water content; unsaturated hydraulic conductivity; water content; water uptake
Abstract:
... The soil-water diffusivity D(θ) is expressed by a functional form which becomes infinite as the soil-water content approaches a constant value, such as the saturated or near-saturated value. The function begins at the origin, and shows an approximately exponential rise in the intermediate soil-water content range. When combined with a previously suggested form of unsaturated hydraulic conductivity ...

Abstract:
... Sampling errors were determined for neutron meter measurements of soil water content in a heterogeneous forest soil. Water content variance at individual 30-cm depths on uncut plots increased with depth at a high water content but was uniform at a low water content. The variation was greater at a low than at a high water content on uncut plots, but was about equal on cut plots. Water content chang ...

Abstract:
... Calcium fluoride formed during a 1-min extraction of calcite (50-2 µm) with the Bray P-1 reagent (0.03M NH₄F/0.025N HCl) sorbed added P. Because of the problem in identifying minor components of a whole soil matrix by X-ray diffraction analysis, it was frequently difficult to positively identify CaF₂ in residues following a 1-min Bray P-1 extraction of calcareous soils; CaF₂ was, however, identifi ...

(1967) inorganic P fractionation scheme. The sorbed P was shown to be associated with CaF₂ formed by the replacement of CaCO₃ during the NH₄F extraction. Similar results were obtained for soils which contained calci ...

Abstract:
... This paper treats the situation, common in irrigation, in which the water table is deep enough to be ignored and applied water moves downward by drainage and is taken up by plants. When plants are transpiring, soil water content is reduced by both deep drainage and plant extraction. Drainage rates from a wetted depth of soil are related to the total water contained in that depth when there is no p ...

The results were supported by the analysis of a mixture of the FA and a napthaquinone, and were in agreement with earlier enzymatic and infrared studies of the soil humic compound. No reduction of the nonquinoid carbonyl of benzophenone by SnCl₂ was obser ...
