The experiment was factorial with twelve treatments (4 potassium rates×3 water regimes) in triplicates. Three soil microbial indicators were evaluated, microbial biomass (carbon and nitrogen), microbial population (bacteria and fungi) and enzyme activities (urease, phosphatase, catalase and dehyrdogenase). Moreover, the cumulative CO2 was chosen as a microbial indicator and estimated during an incubation experiment for 120 days under natural temperature. Soil microbial properties were determined four times during the experimental work. Significant increases in soil microbial biomass, microbial population and enzyme activities were recorded after addition of potassium fertilizer and these improvements became generally more noticeable with the increase of potassium applied rates. Changes of soil moisture contents caused marked effects on soil microbial biomass, microbial population and enzyme activities. Cumulative CO2 was also affected by potassium and soil water rates and its highest values were found after 120 days of incubation. Both soil water levels and potassium fertilization rates should be considered as good factors in governing soil biological properties in clayey soils.","PeriodicalId":220016,"journal":{"name":"Research Journal of Soil Biology","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127140986","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The distribution order of potassium, sodium, calcium concentration among leaves, petioles and stems was found as petiole>stem>leaf, petiole>leaf>stem, petiole>leaf>stem, respectively. But individually, high concentration of K, Ca, Na was found in Corchorus capsularis, Amaranthus lividus (Green) and Spinacia oleracia, respectively and low concentration was found in Lagenaria siceraria for all nutrients. The K, Ca, Na concentration among the plants and within different parts of the each vegetable was significant (p<0.05). The present research work revealed that Corchorus capsularis, Amaranthus lividus (Green), Spinacia oleracia was highly nutritious for measured nutrients but Lagenaria siceraria contained low concentration of all measured nutrient.

The objective of this research was to investigate the effect of sewage sludge application on concentration of iron and manganese in parsley. This study were carried out in a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with three replications in greenhouse condition. The amounts of 0, 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16% of the soil dry weight of the sewage sludge were added to the pots having soil of three areas (Baharan, Najvan and Shakrekord). Parsley seeds were planted in the pots and was harvested in five leaf stage. The sewage sludge application did not significantly affect soil pH, but EC was increased by 71-107% in 16% of sewage sludge in the three soils. Also, sewage sludge application significantly increased by 22-54 and 23-27% the concentrations of P and K in soils, respectively. In Shakrekord area, using the sewage sludge had a significant effect on concentration of Fe in parsley and increased by 27% in 16% of sewage sludge. In Najvan area, the application of sewage sludge (with the exception of 16% level) significantly increased by 5-17% the concentrations of Mn in parsley.","PeriodicalId":220016,"journal":{"name":"Research Journal of Soil Biology","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128906755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
