Soil samples were collected from three sites located at distances (0, 1500,
3000)m along the road from the northern entrance of Daraa city. For each site,
samples were collected from two depths, at three distances from the road axis
and from the t
wo sides of the road. Results showed that total and available lead
concentrations in soil were higher in east than west side of the road due to the
effect of the dominant westerly winds in the region. the differences were
significant for the total and available lead concentrations at distances
(0,1500)m, and (0,3000)m at the entrance of the city, the distances (5,25)m, and
(5,50)m, at the distance from two road sides, and between the depths (0-15),
(15-30)cm, whereas the differences were not significant for the total and
available lead concentrations at distances (1500,3000)m at the entrance of the
city, and (25,50)m at the distance from two road sides. There was a very strong
correlation between the average total and available lead concentration.
This research was carried out through the 201-2011 and 201-/2012 seasons
on 26-year-old trees of AL– Ashouri Pistachio cultivar grown in clay soil, in a
private orchard in Souran region (Hama province). Four types of organic green
fertilizers (Len
tils, Vetch, equal mixture from Lentils and Vetch and mix of
these legumes with barley), in addition to the control, to study their effects on
some quantitative and qualitative characteristics of pistachio nut. Results
showed that the use of green fertilizers caused significant increase in studied
indicators and the best treatment was mix of legumes with barley (45% Lentils,
45% vetch, 10% Barley), which achieved the highest significant values، where
average of weight of the 100 nuts was 107.45 g during the two seasons, the
average of weight of the 100 kernel was 67.08 g, average of length of shell was
20.85mm and an annual yield was 32 kg/ tree, compared with control, which
achieved 87.50g, 40.25g, 18.08 mm and 16.75 kg, respectively.
A field experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of organic
fertilizers (mushroom substrate residues, poultry manure and city compost)
and mineral fertilizers (NPK) on some properties and productivity of a
calcareous soil using chard
(Beta vulgaris) as a test crop. The plant was
cultivated at spring season 2009. The first cut was after 60 days of swing. The
results of experiment were: The NPK fertilizer significantly affected dry weight
of plant yield (157.6g/m2soil) and the efficiency of fertilizer in productivity was
50.8% compare to control (104.5g/m2soil). The treatment of 50% NPK + 50%
poultry manure gave the highest yeld compare to other treatments. However
the organic treatments did not differ significantly among them. Concentrations
of NPK nutrients in plant leaves were as follows: NPK > 50% NPK + 50%
poultry manure > poultry manure > 50% NPK + 50% mushroom substrate >
mushroom substrate > 50% NPK + 50% city compost > city compost. The
organic fertilizers decreased the NPK in plant and soil compare with NPK
fertilizer treatment. However there was no significant differences between NPK
treatment yield and 50% NPK + 50 % poultry manure treatment. It was
concluded that the use of 50% NPK +50 % orgnic fertilizer (specially poultry
manure) was important to get best result.
The effect of applying polyacrylamide polymer on soil crusting, seedling
emergence, infiltration and runoff rates were studied on gypsiferous soils
collected from the Euphrate Basin in Syria The boxes were exposed to the
rainfall 45.48 mm/h using
a rainfall simulator. Total runoff and infiltration
measurements for all boxes were recorded. The boxes were then transferred to
a temperature-controlled room (25±2 °C) for drying. Soil moisture content and
crust strength were measured periodically until 90% water loss was recorded
in the soil. Seedling emergence was also counted daily.
A field experiment was carried out during 2003 and 2004 in Edleb
governorate to study the effect of phosphate solubilizing bacteria (Bacillus
megaterium) and cows manure on solubilization of phosphate rock, cotton
productivity, and phosphate uptak
e. The amounts of phosphate rock and
superphosphate were added by the same amount of P2O5.
An amount of nitrogen fertilizer as urea, was added to treatment 1, 2, 3, 4,
5, and 6 , whereas treatment 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 received amounts of organic
fertilizer having the same amount of N added to treatment 1-6 (MAAR
recommendation).
Some chemical, spectral and thermal characteristics of some humic acids
(HA) extracted from: Farm manure (Fm), biogas(Bio), compost (Com), forest
litters of pine (Pl) and of descendant forest (Dl), and their complexes with Camontmorillonite
were s
tudied by TGA and DTA analysis.
