Effects of watering interval, planting depth and soil crusting on ermegence and seedling establishment of sorghum (sorghum bicolor (L.) moench)
… in the glasshouse to investigate the effects of soil type, watering interval, planting depth, and crust formation on emergence and seedling establishment of sorghum. Three separate pot experiments were conducted using three soil types and sorghum as a test crop. Various treatment combinations of …

Assessment of hydro-physical properties of some crusting soils in four different soil form as revealed by micro-focus x-ray computed tomography in Limpopo Province, South Africa
Most of the available knowledge about soil structure degradation through crust formation is limited to two-dimensional geometry. However, soil is a natural three-dimension body. The objective of the study is to assess soil crusting and hydro physical properties in four different soil form by using …

Sunflower, Helianthus annus L., Cut Flower Variety Trial
… in a randomized complete block design. Severe soil crusting necessitated replanting. Plants were observed from emergence to maturity for horticultural traits such as days to first leaf emergence, height of the plant, days to bloom, number of heads, and branching characters. When observed …

Laboratory Test Program of Rotary Plate Sprinklers
… could exceed the infiltration capacity of the soil and result in runoff. In 1988, Nelson Manufacturing introduced their ROTATORTM and SPINNERTM series low pressure sprinkler heads that had larger application areas than other reduced pressure sprinkler designs as those with spray plates. The …

The relationship between invasive annual grasses and biological soil crust across Eastern Washington
… component of invasion resistance is biological soil crust (biocrust), which has been shown to limit Bromus tectorum (cheatgrass) in arid regions. However, biocrust has been less studied in semiarid regions and its effects on other invasive annual grasses, such as Ventenata dubia, have never been …

Effects of soil amendments on crusting, seedling emergence and yield of onion, tomatoes and peppers.
… (H₂SO₄,Al₂(SO₄)₃ and gypsum) or crust formation, soil chemical properties, seedling emergence and yields of onions (Allium cepa), tomatoes (Lycopersicum esculentum) and chili peppers (Capsicum sp.) were studied on a Pima clay loam soil. Treatments were surface applied on a strip above the seeds. …
