Several important bacterial characteristics, such as biological nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase activity and production of siderophores phytohormones, can be assessed plant growth promotion traits. Our aim was to evaluate the effects fixing indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) producing endophytes in two Oryza sativa cultivars (Baldo Vialone Nano). Three bacteria, Herbaspirillum huttiense RCA24, Enterobacter asburiae RCA23 Staphylococcus sp....
Summary Combining amendments to the soil made by biochar or hydrochar with nitrogen (N) fertilizer can modify N dynamics and availability. Such a response suggests that these would affect ammonia ( NH 3 ) emissions from slurry similarly, potentially reduce volatilization of . This study measured potential following application pig surface silt‐loam loam soils amended (both derived Miscanthus × giganteus (Greef et Deu)) at rate 3% dry weight (16 t ha −1 area, on average) 60% water‐filled pore...
Rice is one of the most salt sensitive crops at seedling, early vegetative and reproductive stages. Varieties with salinity tolerance seedling stage promote an efficient growth stages in affected soils, leading to healthy that protects crop yield. Saltol major QTL confers capacity young rice plants growing under condition by maintaining a low Na+/K+ molar ratio shoots.Marker-assisted backcross (MABC) procedure was adopted transfer locus conferring from donor indica IR64-Saltol two temperate...
Water saving techniques, such as alternate wetting and drying (AWD), are becoming a necessity in modern rice farming because of climate change mitigation growing water use scarcity. Reducing can vastly reduce methane (CH4) emissions; however, this net benefit may be offset by enhanced carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from soil. The main aims study were: to determine the effects AWD on yield ecosystem C dynamics, establish underlying mechanistic basis for observed trends gain or loss an Italian...
Abstract Traditional rice cultivation consumes up to 2500 L of water per kg yield and new strategies such as the ‘Alternate Wetting Drying’ (AWD) might be promising water-saving alternatives. However, they have large impacts on soil microbiology. In this study, we compared bacterial archaeal communities in experimental field plots, cultivated under continuously flooding (CF) AWD management, by high-throughput sequencing 16S rRNA gene. We analysed alpha beta diversity bulk plant roots, plots...
A syndrome called "Kiwifruit Decline Syndrome" (KiDS) affects kiwifruit in several Mediterranean areas, causing growth arrest and wilt that rapidly progress to desiccation, scarce root growth, absence of fibrous roots, brown soft-rotting cortical detachment from the central cylinder. The origin is considered multifactorial, a correlation with hydraulic conductance impairment caused by high vapor pressure deficit (VPD) temperature was detected. In this work, over-tree micro-sprinkler...
SUMMARY Ammonia (NH 3 ) volatilization from soil-applied manure not only causes environmental pollution but also reduces the fertilization value of manure. Anaerobic digestion and solid/liquid separation alter physical chemical characteristics slurry, which affect NH emissions after application. The present study measured potential laboratory losses different manures, untreated pig slurry liquid fractions each digested their application to two soil types. experiment was carried out in...
Kiwifruit decline syndrome (KiDS) has affected kiwifruit orchards for more than ten years in the Mediterranean area, severely compromising productivity and causing extensive uprooting. The plants go through an irreversible fast wilting process. problem not been solved yet, a single cause identified. In this work, we carried out survey on five-year-old healthy cv. Hayward cultivated area strongly by KiDS characterised rising temperature vapor pressure deficit (VPD). Five were located...
The development of biotechnologies based on beneficial microorganisms for improving soil fertility and crop yields could help to address many current agriculture challenges, such as food security, climate change, pest control, depletion while decreasing the use chemical fertilizers pesticides. Plant growth-promoting (PGP) microbes can be used probiotics in order increase plant tolerance/resistance abiotic/biotic stresses this context strains belonging Pseudomonas chlororaphis group have...
This article aims to show the potential contribution of high-yielding rice varieties achieve sustainable intensification in paddy farming, by focusing on a developing country. A comparative life cycle assessment traditional vs. is carried out comparing area-based and yield-based results. Primary data are collected through farm survey (49 farms Mazandaran province, Iran; spring 2018). The results highlight that can reduce yield-scaled impacts. However, area-scaled impacts subject increase for...
Application of different chemical fertilizers and manures is a major source ammonia (NH3) emission. The rate total amount NH3 emission are related to parameters such as climatic conditions, soil characteristics kind fertilizer. current study has indicated the from bovine slurry, pig slurry ammonium nitrate fertilizer after application on two soils. Two methods were used measure emissions: method that use acid traps photoacoustic infrared gas analyzer. In both soils was greatest denser...
Cover crop use in organic rice cropping systems efficiently manages the two most limiting factors agriculture - weed competition and nutrient availability. Nonetheless, cover biomasses on soil surfaces under anaerobic conditions flooded produce acids (mainly acetic acid) that cause early phytotoxicity to seedling coleoptile roots. This study evaluated dose-response of acid germination rates post-germination growth traits (coleoptile, first leaf, roots). Under controlled conditions, seeds...
The determination of soil organic carbon (SOC) stock and its evolution over time is important for understanding the cycling in soils, relationship with agricultural practices agro-environmental conditions to develop more sustainable management practices. Moreover, this issue great importance development monitoring, reporting, verification (MRV) systems as part climate change mitigation measures affecting sector. In context, present study aims investigate reliability visible near-infrared...
