The objective of the current study was to identify and isolate bacterial strains from native soil that could degrade chlorpyrifos and had high pesticide resistance. A total of 60 distinct microbial strains were isolated from the soil samples and subsequently evaluated for their capacity to degrade chlorpyrifos. Serratia liquefaciens, one of the strains, was discovered to be the most effective among them for degrading chlorpyrifos. It was subsequently examined for the biodegradation of chlorpyrifos under various environmental conditions and was then identified using 16S rRNA sequencing. The strain S. liquefaciens degraded more than 90% of 50 mg L-1 of chlorpyrifos. The strain performed better when urea and sucrose were used as nitrogen and carbon sources, respectively. At a temperature of 35 °C and a basic pH range, the strain functioned exceptionally well. The finding demonstrated that the bacterial strain S. liquefaciens, which was isolated from agricultural soil, is a top contender for cleaning up OPP-contaminated soil.","PeriodicalId":20155,"journal":{"name":"Plant, Soil and Environment","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80320282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the availability of soil health data, it is possible to set yield targets using various yield prediction models. This study was initiated to estimate the concentration of DTPA-extractable micronutrients in Tehsil Muzaffargarh and to develop a database that can be used to develop predictive models. Soil samples (n=11537) were collected from Muzaffargarh (0-15 cm depth). The latitude and longitude values of sampling points were recorded for the purpose of georeferencing the soil samples. Micronutrients such as zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) were extracted with diethylenetriamine penta-acetate (DTPA) extraction solution and their concentrations were determined with atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Water soluble boron (B) was determined spectrophotometrically using Azomethine-H as colour developing reagent. Critical limits established by the National Agricultural Research Center (NARC) Islamabad, Pakistan, were used as a benchmark for grading micronutrient status. The ordinary kriging technique was used to visualize the micronutrient status in the surveyed area and digital maps were prepared using Quantum Geographic Information System (QGIS) software. Results showed that the range of DTPA-extractable micronutrients Zn, Fe, Mn, and Cu ranged from 0.10-5.92, 0.01-12.51, 0.09-10.00 and 0.03-8.08 µg/g, respectively. Boron concentration ranged from 0.02-1.98µg/g. Most of the soils in the studied area had adequate levels of Zn (61.9%) and Cu (48.6%) while 45.8, 43.3 and 55.4 % of the soil samples fell into the marginal category in terms of Cu, Mn, and B, respectively. The results revealed the widespread deficiency of DTPA-extractable Fe (< 4.5mg kg-1 in 74% soil samples) in Tehsil Muzaffargarh. The digitized maps developed from this study would serve as primary source to locate micronutrient deficient areas and also set site-specific yield targets along with other biophysical factors. However, these maps need ground truthing after crop harvest each year.","PeriodicalId":20155,"journal":{"name":"Plant, Soil and Environment","volume":"47 7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78623349","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The measurement of nitrogen mineralization is important for estimating nitrogen availability and determining fertilizer requirements. This study aims to evaluate N mineralization of straw and cow manure in organic paddy fields at different water conditions through laboratory incubation. Types of paddy field management (organic, semi-organic, and conventional), organic matter (straw and cow manure), and moisture conditions (aerobic and anaerobic) were used in these research. The NH4+ and NO3ˉ concentration, soil pH, and water content were measured eight times over 56 days of incubation. Microbial biomass was measured at the end of the incubation. The data were analyzed using three-way ANOVA followed by the DMR and Pearson correlation test. Results showed that the application of cow manure on organic paddy fields in anaerobic conditions increased NH4+ up to 18.56 mg kg-1 and increased NO3ˉ in aerobic conditions up to 7.71 mg kg-1 from the initial concentration. Organic paddy fields with cow manure input under anaerobic conditions have the highest N mineralization potential. The N mineralization rate of straw and cow manure in organic paddy fields under anaerobic conditions was not significantly different. For 8-week incubation, adding straw in organic paddy fields increased NH4+ by 109% and NO3ˉ by 14%, whereas cow manure increased NH4+ by 128% and NO3ˉ by 18%. Application of plant residue or manure is an effective strategy to enhance soil microbial biomass and soil N availability and has the potential to reduce the dependence upon chemical N fertilization.","PeriodicalId":20155,"journal":{"name":"Plant, Soil and Environment","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77101855","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Saline-sodic soils continue to deteriorate the yield of a crop, causing a severe risk to worldwide food production. A field study was conducted in Vehari district, Pakistan, in already prevailing saline-sodic soils to evaluate tomato yield and quality by applying naphthyl acetic acid (NAA) and salicylic acid (SA) as their sole applications and in combination with organic fertilizers in saline-sodic conditions. NAA (@ 200mg L-1) and SA (@ 0.50 mM) were applied solely through a foliar spray. Additionally, NAA and SA were value-added in organic fertilizers. Maximum tomato growth and yield were noticed with combined NAA and SA application to organic fertilizer that can be seen in tomato quality parameters, like lycopene, beta carotene, ascorbic acid, titratable acidity, and total soluble solids. Conclusively, our research work offers an insightful practice of the value-addition of NAA or SA onto organic fertilizer that can enhance tomato productivity, and quality grown under saline-sodic soils.","PeriodicalId":20155,"journal":{"name":"Plant, Soil and Environment","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88980954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the current research, effect of tillage practices on the soil characteristics, different wheat genotypes and their attributes along with farmer economics were studied. The field trial was conducted at a farmers field with randomized complete block design with split plot sequence having genotypes in the main plots while tillage operation in the sub – plots. Three wheat genotypes including two improved varieties i.e. Pirsabak – 15 and Fateh Jhang and a single landrace were sown. Tillage operations included deep plough, conventional tillage, mulch tillage and zero – tillage. The results showed that soil tillage significantly influenced the physico – chemical characteristics of soils. The interaction between genotype and tillage also exhibited significant effect except for soil pH and total soil nitrogen. The agronomic parameters showed significant effect of both varities, tillage practices and their interaction except for total biomass. The grain protein content showed significantly higher total protein (13.61%) in the landrace as compared with the improved varieties. The BCR calculated at the harvest of the experiment showed that 3.86 for the local landrace with deep plough and the least was observed 2.96 in the improved variety (Fateh Jhang) on zero tillage plots. It may be concluded from the results that improved variety (Pirsabak) gave better result in term of yield. Landrace also showed a good response to tillage.","PeriodicalId":20155,"journal":{"name":"Plant, Soil and Environment","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85244604","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research evaluated the potential effects, through modeling, of E. coca cultivation on physicochemical indicators and soil quality indices (SQI) in the Aguaytia valley, Padre Abad province, Ucayali region, Peru. Areas with E. coca cultivation of 2 (CO2) and 15 years (CO15), ex-coca with natural regeneration of 9 years (EC9), and secondary forest (BS) were evaluated as reference; evaluating soil physical and chemical indicators. The results show differences in all the soil indicators evaluated, except K+. The principal component analysis determined that the indicators clay, sand, silt, MO, N, Ca2+ and SAl were relevant and explained 82.97% of the total variance. In addition, the modeling shows that 15-year-old E. coca has a negative impact on sand, clay and Ca2+, and a positive impact on silt and SAl, but no statistically significant impact on OM and N. The soils presented low quality for BS and very low quality for CO15. In conclusion, the modeling and the ICS show that the cultivation of Erythroxylum coca under monoculture has a significant negative impact on Ca2+ and positive impact on Al3+, %AC, %SAl, % of silt, which caused a loss in soil quality, in addition, recovery is observed in the area of excoca with 09 years of natural regeneration.","PeriodicalId":20155,"journal":{"name":"Plant, Soil and Environment","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81721735","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

(2023): Water and nutrient use efficiencies of Stipa purpurea Griseb. along a precipitation gradient of the Tibetan Plateau. Plant Soil Environ., 69: 230–237. Abstract: Water and nutrient use efficiencies are important adaptive features of plants in arid and semi-arid environments. In this study, water, nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) use efficiencies of Stipa purpurea Griesb., an endemic and dominant grass species, were investigated in the alpine steppe along precipitation gradients on the Tibetan Plateau. The leaf N content of S. purpurea increased along the precipitation gradient, but leaf P decreased, whereas carbon (C) remained unchanged. Leaf δ 13 C (water use efficiency, WUE) and C : N ratio (N use efficiency, NUE) decreased with increasing precipitation. But leaf C : P (P use efficiency, PUE) and N : P ratios increased with increasing precipitation. A trade-off was found between WUE and PUE but not between WUE and NUE. The changes in leaf traits were associated with changes in soil water, organic C, total N and P. These findings offer insights into understanding alpine plant water and nutrient use strategies along a precipitation gradient, as well as facilitate the prediction of alpine ecosystem responses to precipitation changes.","PeriodicalId":20155,"journal":{"name":"Plant, Soil and Environment","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48178699","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
