The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of chicken manure (CM) application rates on nutrient concentrations within and below the root zone of sweet corn (Zea mays L. subsp. mays) under Hawaiian conditions. The research was conducted in leeward (Poamoho) and windward (Waimanalo) areas of Oahu, Hawaii, where contrasts exist in both climatic and soil conditions. Suction cup were used to collect soil solutions from 30 and 60 cm depths. Soil solutions were collected six times during the growing season at each location and analyzed for different nutrients (N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Na, Fe, Mn, Zn, and Cu), nitrate-nitrogen (NO3–N), ammonium-nitrogen (NH4–N), electrical conductivity (EC), and pH. Analysis showed that CM rates significantly affected the concentration of macro-nutrients below the root zone at Poamoho and within the root zone at Waimanalo. In general, nutrient concentration increased with the increasing rates of CM application. There was a significant effect of CM on micro-nutrients except below the root zone at Poamoho. CM significantly affected NO3–N concentration within the root zone for 15, 60 days after planting (DAP) at Poamoho, and 16, 28 DAP at Waimanalo. The effect was also significant on total nitrogen (N) concentration in the root zone across the two growing seasons at Waimanalo. There was a highly significant correlation between total N and NO3–N, and EC within and below the root zone. 相似文献

The synthesis and characterization of poly (acrylic acid) grafted pectin hydrogel followed by biosorption and desorption characteristics of cadmium, as a model heavy metal, have been studied. The grafted eco-friendly pectin based interpenetrating hydrogel was prepared in the presence of gluteraldehyde crosslinker under N2 atmosphere and characterized using 1H-NMR, FTIR, TGA and SEM techniques. Gluteraldehyde was found to form one-arm and two-arm crosslinks in the copolymer. Upon grafting, two-dimensional sheet structures bounded to tubular and vascular cylindrical rods were observed. The biosorption and desorption data, determined experimentally, were fitted to pseudo-second order reaction kinetics. At higher ionic strength values, the maximum metal uptake value (q max) was lowered and pseudo-second order rate constant (k 2) was increased. Whereas, at higher pH values the maximum metal uptake value (q max) was increased and Pseudo-second order rate constant (k 2) was decreased. 0.1?M HCl solution was a suitable eluent to regenerate the hydrogel surface and recover the adsorbed cadmium metal ions. Pectin based copolymer could be used as an efficient candidature biosorbent for the recovery of cadmium metal ions from aqueous solutions. 相似文献

Fate of nitrate and bromide in an unsaturated zone of a sandy soil under citrus production 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Understanding water and nutrient transport through the soil profile is important for efficient irrigation and nutrient management to minimize excess nutrient leaching below the rootzone. We applied four rates of N (28, 56, 84, and 112 kg N ha(-1); equivalent to one-fourth of annual N rates being evaluated in this study for bearing citrus trees), and 80 kg Br- ha(-1) to a sandy Entisol with >25-yr-old citrus trees to (i) determine the temporal changes in NO3-N and Br- distribution down the soil profile (2.4 m), and (ii) evaluate the measured concentrations of NO3-N and Br- at various depths with those predicted by the Leaching Estimation and Chemistry Model (LEACHM). Nitrate N and Br concentrations approached the background levels by 42 and 214 d, respectively. Model-predicted volumetric water content and concentrations of NO3-N and Br- at various depths within the entire soil profile were very close to measured values. The LEACHM data showed that 21 to 36% of applied fertilizer N leached below the root zone, while tree uptake accounted for 40 to 53%. Results of this study enhance our understanding of N dynamics in these sandy soils, and provide better evaluation of N and irrigation management to improve uptake efficiency, reduce N losses, and minimize the risk of ground water nitrate contamination from soils highly vulnerable to nutrient leaching. 相似文献
