Alleviation of Salt Stress in Durum Wheat (Triticum durum L.) Seedlings Through the Application of Liquid Seaweed Extracts of Fucus spiralis

Many research studies have shown the importance of seaweed extract (SWE) in alleviating stress damage to plants. In this study, we examined the effect of liquid SWEs made from brown seaweed, Fucus spiralis, on germination, growth, antioxidant enzymes and some biochemical attributes of durum wheat under different levels of NaCl concentrations. Application of SWE at different concentrations (5, 10, 25, and 50%) significantly enhanced seed germination and growth parameters under salt stress, especially with 25% of seaweed liquid extract. Results show that the activity of antioxidant enzymes increased with increasing the algal extract concentration to 50%. Therefore, algal treatment is proved to be an effective technique to improve the growth of wheat seedlings under salt stress conditions. This study provides important information on the identification and utilization of seaweed resources for agriculture and it is the first study to report on the uses of this macroalgae as biostimulants in agriculture.

Comparison of the distribution of mineral nutrients and active substances in dehydration- and salinity-stressed Aloe vera L.

Changes in growth and distribution of inorganic mineral elements and organic active substances in seedlings of A. vera were examined under treatments of ?0.44 and ?0.88 MPa polyethylene glycol 6000 (PEG) and corresponding isosmotic sodium chloride (NaCl). All stress treatments inhibited plant growth, with NaCl severely inhibiting the growth of the seedlings than PEG. However, leaf biomass did not change significantly. The nitrogen concentration under PEG was maintained higher than that under NaCl. Salinity caused more severe ionic imbalance than dehydration. However, when the concentration of NaCl was increased, ion homeostasis was maintained. Stressors induced an increase in aloin concentration in leaves, especially in young leaves. Polysaccharide concentrations in leaves did not change under dehydration. However, the polysaccharide concentration decreased in the middle and base leaves under NaCl. A. vera exhibited high adaptability to suitable osmotic stress, which increases its main active ingredients in leaves.     

Porous tubing for use in monitoring soil CO2 concentrations

The composition of the soil atmosphere is an indicator of biological processes, and soil CO₂ gradients have been used to estimate CO₂ efflux from the surface. Soil atmosphere samplers, constructed with gas-permeable materials, have been used to quantify soil CO₂ concentrations. The type of material used can influence the perceived real-time concentrations of CO₂ in the soil. Previous works have not directly compared different types of materials under the same conditions. The objective of this study was to determine the diffusion coefficient (D) and time of 95% equilibrium (t_eq) of CO₂ through several materials, and to evaluate the effect of long-term soil burial (183 days) on diffusion characteristics. Materials tested included silicone, expanded Teflon (ePTFE), and ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (PE) tubing. The D of each material was determined using a closed-loop system consisting of a CO₂-enriched (7800 ppm) chamber, a CO₂ analyzer and an inner tube (experimental tubing) placed inside the chamber. Air was re-circulated through the inner tube, and as CO₂ diffused from the chamber into the tubing, the analyzer recorded the increase in concentration. The silicone tubes had values of D ranging from 8.64 to 5.80×10⁻⁶ cm² s⁻¹ with corresponding t_eq between 3.9 and 9.7 h. Diffusion coefficients of the ePTFE (1.25×10⁻⁴ cm² s⁻¹) and PE (7.70×10⁻⁴ cm² s⁻¹) materials were 2 orders of magnitude greater, with t_eq<6 min. Exposure to the soil environment for 183 days did not visibly deteriorate the materials or significantly affect the D or t_eq values. Use of the ePTFE or PE materials, over the silicone materials, may allow for better characterization of dynamic CO₂ concentrations in the soil based on the greater D and lesser t_eq values of these materials.     

Denitrification in intact subsoil cores

 Intact, unamended subsoil cores taken from two contrasting field sites were incubated in the laboratory at 12  °C under aerobic (21% O₂) and anaerobic (1.1–5.5% O₂) conditions. Denitrification of ¹⁵N-NO₃ ^– diffusing into the cores across a semi-permeable membrane was estimated by: (1) direct observation of ¹⁵N-labelled N₂ and N₂O, and (2) mass balance following sectioning at the end of the experiment. The in situ denitrification potential (rates where the supply of NO₃ ^– is not limited by diffusion) was estimated using a finite-difference approximation to a diffusion reaction equation based on comparison of time and depth profiles of NO₃ ^– and Br^– in the incubated cores. Potentials between 0.2 and 2.5 mg N kg^–1 day^–1 were obtained under low O₂ and natural C concentrations. These results indicate the potential for denitrification in glacial till subsoils to reduce NO₃ ^– leaching to ground or surface waters to levels unlikely to result in a pollution hazard. The major product of NO₃ ^– reduction in these subsoils was observed to be N₂, rather than the greenhouse gas and catalyst of stratospheric O₃ removal, N₂O. Received: 31 October 1997     

Evaluation of Agronomic and Environmental Soil P Test Methods in a Network of Hungarian Long‐Term Field Trials

Abstract

Winter wheat shoot weight and phosphorus (P) concentrations, corn leaf weight and P concentrations, and soil AL, Olsen, H₂O, Bray 1, Pi (Fe-oxide impregnated paper strip) and AERM (anion exchange resin membrane) contents were determined in a network of uniform Hungarian national long‐term field trials. P application had a significant effect on soil P test values at different P levels and sites. The relationship between the different soil P test methods was studied separately for different soil groups (all, acid, and calcareous soils). Corn leaf weight was influenced by the sites much more than by soil P supply level, whereas corn leaf P percentage was influenced by both sites and P levels. For winter wheat, both sites and soil P levels had a positive effect on wheat shoot weight. Wheat shoot P percentage was influenced by the soil P supply much more than by the sites. Correlation between corn leaf P percentage and the Pi or AERM extractable P and between wheat shoot P percentage and the Pi and AERM P values was logarithmic.     

Influence of different agricultural management systems on nitrogen leaching: results of lysimeter studies

The objective was to estimate the potential risk of N leaching into the groundwater under various types of agriculture by using lysimeter experiments on the nitrogen(N)‐cycle of various soil types. Results were obtained with 12 weighable, monolithic lysimeters with a surface area of 1 m², a total depth of 3 m, and free drainage. Mean annual N‐leaching losses of 5 to 44 kg ha^—1 and nitrate concentrations of the seepage water (leachate) between 80 and 200 mg l^—1 were measured during the period of intensive agricultural use. On fallow land with a well‐established grass vegetation, some nitrate was removed by the plants. As a result, the nitrate concentrations in the leachate were reduced significantly. Ecological farming measures generally reduced N leaching losses and kept the N‐concentration in the leachate below the German threshold value for drinking water with 50 mg l^—1 nitrate. However, ploughing in of clover or leguminous vegetation and the application of farmyard manure in autumn caused the nitrate concentration in the leachate to rise significantly above the mentioned threshold value.<?show $6#>
