The application of mineral fertilizers can effectively enhance crop yields. However, this potential benefit may be diminished if the use leads to a substantial decline in soil organic carbon (SOC) and an increase greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This study aimed determine optimal fertilizer combinations rates for improving SOC maize yield while reducing GHG emissions semi-arid uplands Kenya. Data were collected from five different treatments (N50, N100, N150, N100+manure, N100+straw) compared...
Africa is the second continent suffering from soil compaction; studies of this phenomenon must be multiplied in order to overcome problem. Very few have been conducted Tunisia understand compaction, its causes and effect on properties. The research was experimental field at Higher Institute Agronomy Chott Mariam, Sousse, Tunisia. main objective study evaluate different speed tractor compaction soil, that is, no (C0), 1 (C2) = 4 km h-1, 2 (C3) 9 h-1 hydraulic physical properties a silt loam...
