“…Ahmad et al (2015) demonstrated that a suitable soil can increase water and nutrient uptake by mungbean due to better root development. Other researchers have reported the beneficial effects that a good soil aeration and drainage, enhanced soil water storage capacity, and higher nutrient retention have on the productivity of legume crops, including mungbean (Ntukamazina et al 2017;Travlos and Karamanos 2006;Zhao et al 2015). In addition to soil texture, the N 2 -fixing ability of mungbean may vary by genotype (Delfin et al 2008).…”

Ensuring food and nutritional security in light of high climate variability and a rapidly growing population remains a challenge. Mungbean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek) is a short duration, drought-tolerant, and ureide-exporting legume crop capable of symbiotic atmospheric nitrogen fixation. Estimates of biological N 2 fixation by mungbean in different soil textures have not been extensively studied. We conducted this study to evaluate plant growth and N 2 fixation of five mungbean genotypes (Berken, 8735, IC 8972-1, STB#122, 223) inoculated with Bradyrhizobium spp. and grown on loamy sand and silt loam soils under glasshouse conditions. Mungbean dry matter yield, δ 15 N values, shoot content, amounts of N-fixed, and soil N uptake were all higher on the silt loam soil compared to the loamy sand soil, demonstrating the effects of soil properties on plant growth and N 2 fixation potential. Among genotypes, IC 8972-1 produced the highest biomass (7.85 g plant −1), shoot N content (200 mg plant −1), and soil N uptake (155 mg plant −1) than other genotypes. The significant interaction between soil texture and genotypes for root dry matter and %Ndfa indicates the major role of legume root-nodule bacteria in symbiotic N 2 fixation. This study demonstrated that N 2 fixation in mungbean is affected by both genotypes and soil properties, illustrating the need to consider soil properties in order to maximize N contribution from mungbean to agricultural production systems.

“…The selected experimental site soils are most conducive for groundnut production since its soil reactions range between 5.5 and 6.5 as reported by Murata et al (2007) and Gascho (1992), and texture was lighter in nature which facilitates easy penetration of groundnut pods (Zhao et al 2015). In both the locations, soil Ca concentration was low.…”

Slag-based gypsum (SBG) is a unique synthetic gypsum which is alkaline in nature, besides calcium (Ca) and sulphur (S); it contains appreciable amounts of iron (Fe), silicon (Si), phosphorus (P) and zinc (Zn). In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of SBG as a source of S, Ca and Si for groundnut in comparison with natural gypsum (NG). The effect of different levels and time of application of SBG on soil fertility and yield and quality of groundnut were also studied. Field experiments were conducted with five treatments which includes two levels of SBG (500 and 625 kg ha −1) applied as basal and basal + split and one level of NG (500 kg ha −1) applied as basal. Basal and basal + split applications of SBG significantly increased the pod and haulm yield of groundnut, pH, electrical conductivity and plant-available nutrients in post-harvest soil. However, N:S ratio, kernel and protein yield and oil content did not vary with SBG application. Applied S, Ca and Si as SBG and their uptake were positively correlated with plant-available S, Ca and Si and pod, oil and protein yield of groundnut, respectively. Basal and basal + split applications of SBG resulted in a similar effect on soil fertility and yield and quality of groundnut. Findings from this study show that SBG can be a potential alternative for NG as a source of S, Ca and Si for groundnut production. Among the treatments, basal and basal + split applications of 625 kg SBG ha −1 substantially improved the fertility of soils and yield and quality of groundnut.

“…Other studies have shown similar results in other species. For example, Zhao et al [33] reported that peanut growth and development differed among sandy, loam, and clay soils. In that study, even though soil OM, N, P and K contents were highest in clay and lowest in sandy soils, peanut growth and development were lower in clay soil, indicating that the effects of soil texture on peanut growth and development is affected by the interaction between soil physical and chemical properties.…”

Effect of Soil Type on Calcium Absorption and Partitioning in Young Avocado (Persea americana Mill.) Trees

2019

A two-year study was conducted to determine how soil texture affects calcium (Ca) absorption and partitioning in potted ‘Hass’ avocado trees. Trees were planted in 200 L pots in one of four soil types: clay (C), clay loam (CL), sandy loam (SL) or sand (S). Prior to planting, Ca content in each soil was in the normal range of availability, although the Ca concentration was highest in C soil. After two years of tree development, dry weights of shoots and roots were significantly higher in the SL and S soils than in C soil. Trees in the C soil had higher wood dry weight than trees in SL or S soils. The Ca contents (absolute quantities, not concentrations) in the roots, shoots and whole tree were significantly lower in the C soil than in the SL or S soils. The K/Ca ratio of trees in the C soil (K/Ca = 1.5) was significantly higher than that in the other soil types. Stem water potential was significantly lower for trees in the C soil compared to the other soils. These results indicate that Ca absorption and partitioning in young avocado trees varies with soil texture, probably associated with soil effects on root growth and/or plant water status.
