Crop residues are mainly post-harvest remains of agriculture. The organic matters, nutrients,
and hollow structures of crop residues enable them to be applied in agriculture. In this …

Tomato is an essential annual crop providing human food worldwide. It is estimated that by
the year 2050 more than 50% of the arable land will become saline and, in this respect, in …

Field studies were conducted for two consecutive seasons (summer and fall) under sub-
temperate climatic conditions at southwest of Cairo, Egypt (29° 35′ N 30° 23′ E) in saline …

Salt stress severely constrains crop productivity in arid lands of the world. Burying straw at
the 40 cm soil depth plus plastic film mulching could mitigate root zone salinity, but little is …

Inefficient and over use of nitrogen fertilizer and irrigation water are the severe issues with
adverse economic and environmental impacts. In present study, the effect of buried straw …

Burying straw is an effective management to promote salt leaching and inhibit salt retention
in the saline soils. However, the effects of buried straw interlayer on CO 2 emission across …

As peanuts are sensitive to salinity, physiological and agronomic responses to mulching and
varied potassium rates were explored to boost peanut yield. During 2013–14 and 2014–15 …

Cherry tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum var. cerasiforme) is a relatively salt-tolerant fruit
and vegetable widely planted worldwide. In this study, the growth and physiological …

Soil salinity is rarely uniform, but the understanding of the physiological responses of plants
to vertically heterogeneous salinity in the root zone is still limited. In the present study, pot …

This study evaluated whether the straw burial and alternative wetting and drying (AWD)
irrigation could improve the root activity, yield, and water utilization efficiency (WUE) of rice …
