Background: The Southern Guinea savanna zone of Nigeria is characterized by inherently low soil fertility status and rapid nutrient depletion especially soil organic matter. However, this zone is characterized by abundant agricultural land and is a potential for crop production. Field experiments were conducted in order to evaluate the effects of integrated use of agricultural […]
Purpose In recent years, attempts have been made to compensate irrigation water shortage through widespread wastewater application as a low-quality water resource for agriculture. The existing wastewater treatment plants do not have sufficient capacity to treat such a huge volume of wastewater. In arid and semiarid region, soil type as well as climate is different […]
Purpose Treated wastewaters are reused in agriculture to deal with the water deficit, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. However, they may contain contaminants such as heavy metals that can adversely affect the soil quality and life health. This work aimed to assess the degree of contamination of the soil and the turf leaves of […]
Purpose Bangladesh is an agriculture-based country, where about 3 million ha is covered by groundwater sources for irrigation, but a significant portion of irrigation water is Arsenic contaminated. To produce Potato under Arsenic contaminated soil, an experiment was conducted to find out the effect of sawdust as an adsorbent to decontaminate Arsenic toxicity in soil. […]
