Abstract:
... Effects of sulfuric acid on crop yields and on some physical and chemical properties of a calcareous soil were investigated in a field experiment from 1947 through 1952. On cotton plots, the treatments consisted of applications of irrigation water containing no acid (pH 8.3), water acidified to pH 6, and water acidified to pH 2.3. Cotton was grown five season followed by sesbania the sixth season. ...

Abstract:
... To discover whether plasticity in resource allocation differs among related species, we examined variability in seed mass, seeds per fruit, ovules per flower, fruit survivorship, and fruits per unit plant size in Sesbania macrocarpa, S. drummondii, and S. vesicaria. The species differed in the amounts of variability of the different components of yield, and seed mass was not always the least varia ...

When the stems of Sesbania rostrata, growing vigorously in nutrient solution, are inoculated with Azorhizobium caulinodans ORS 571 and deprived of nitrate, hundreds of nodules with active N₂ fixation (acetylene reduction) develop on each stem within 10 d. The numbers of nodules that develop are not affected by increasing the nitrate concentration in the medium from 0 to 9 mM. However, as the nitra ...

The objective was to examine the effects of two straw managements (incorporated or burned), three crop rotations [wheat-sesbania (Sesbania spp.), wheat-maize (Zea mays L.), or wheat-fallow], and ...

Three wetland macrophytes, Sesbania herbacea, Bidens frondosa, and Eclipta prostrata, were exposed (0.4-1,000-ppb nominal concentrations) to the antimicrobial triclosan for 28 d in a flow-through system. Sesbania herbacea had decreased seed germination at the 100-ppb exposure level at days 7, 14, and 21, and B. frondosa germination was reduced at the 1,000-ppb exposure level at day 7.

Abstract:
... Sesbania virgata (Leguminosae) is tolerant of long periods of soil inundation. However, its morphological adaptations to anoxia and its response to possible damage from oxidative stress are still unknown. Here, we provide new information that helps to explain the ability of S. virgata plants to grow in flooded environments. Plants containing six expanded leaves were placed in masonry tanks and wer ...

Abstract:
... An experiment was conducted for five-years (2005–06 to 2009–10) to evaluate the impact of Sesbania green-manuring (GM), mustard-residue recycling and fertilizers on soil health and productivity of Indian mustard under fallow–mustard sequence. Sesbania (GM) significantly increased SOC, carbon-sequestration-potential rate, infiltration rate, available NPK status but decreased bulk density. Supplemen ...

Abstract:
... Recovery of arsenic contaminated areas is a challenge society faces throughout the world. Revegetation associated with microbial activity can play an essential role in this process. This work investigated biological attributes in a gold mining area with different arsenic contents at different sites under two types of extant revegetation associated with cover layers of the soil: BS, Brachiaria sp. ...

Abstract:
... In terrestrial ecosystems, plant growth, plant community structure, and ultimately the ecosystem services provided by plants are dependent on the presence and composition of below ground arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal communities. AM fungi form obligate symbioses with plants providing nutrients to their host plants in exchange for photosynthates. While AM have been found in most wetland ecosys ...

Abstract:
... In the rice–wheat (RW) systems of the Indo-Gangetic Plains of South Asia, conservation tillage practices, including zero-tillage (ZT), are being promoted to address emerging problems such as (1) shortages of labor and water, (2) declining factor productivity, (3) deterioration of soil health, and (4) climate change. Despite multiple benefits of ZT, weed control remains a major challenge to adoptio ...

Abstract:
... Maize production in Malawi is limited mainly by low soil N and P. Improved fallows of N-fixing legumes such as Tephrosia and Sesbania offer options for improving soil fertility particularly N supply. The interactions of Tephrosia fallows and inorganic fertilizers on soil properties, N uptake, and maize yields were evaluated at Chitedze Research Station in Malawi. The results indicated that the lev ...
