Amendments of ethanol, peptone, and sucrose to Fox sandy loam soil naturally infested with the muskmelon wilt fungus, Fusarium oxysporum f. melonis, increased the incidence of wilt above that of unamended control soil. Population levels of F. oxysporum and F. o. f. melonis in ethanol-amended soils were 7 to 20 times higher at 7 to 30 days after treatment than in unamended soils. Amendments of peptone and sucrose caused smaller increases in population levels of these fungi than ethanol.

Wilt Incidence

The relation of soil populations of the muskmelon wilt fungus, Fusarium oxysporum f. melonis, to the wilt potentials of a yellow Fox sandy loam soil (Fsl) and a dark Colwood loam (Cl) was investigated. In either soil a direct relationship existed between the size of the population of the fungus and wilt incidence. Notwithstanding this relationship, with the same population the greater incidence of wilt in Fsl than in Cl showed that a factor or factors other than population affect the wilt potential. Whereas mean populations of field soils obtained at the site of wilted plants ranged upward to 3300 per gram, they declined steadily during the 9-month interval between crops. During this interval random samples of field soils yielded mean populations of 228 and 268 per gram of Fsl and Cl, respectively. Of the F. oxysporum colonies isolated at the end of harvest, about 70% from plant sites and approximately 21% from intersites were pathogenic. Two to eight months later only 12 to 15% of F. oxysporum isolates obtained by random sampling of infested field soils were pathogenic.

Loam Soil

Infiltration rate and porosity of sandy loam soil amended separately with goatyard manure (GYM) and poultry waste at 30, 50 and 70 tonnes/hectare each were investigated and the results were statistically analyzed using SPSS ver 17 package. Infiltration rates under GYM amendment and poultry waste amendment showed significant difference (p?0.01), indicating that the variation of infiltration under GYM amendment was superior to the use of poultry waste. Infiltration rates under poultry waste amendment and those of the control soil correlated perfectly (r= 0.99, p?0 .01). The application of 70t/ha of GYM indicated no superior short-term effect on soil’s infiltration rate than its lower amendment rates. The constant infiltration rate of amended soil under 30T/ha of GYM was reduced to 1.60cm/min below the 2.28cm/min for its GYM counterpart and 1.69cm/min for the control soil; and is recommended for optimum irrigation water conservation in sandy loam soil. The change in porosity was less under GYM amendment than under poultry waste amendment.

The change in the microbiological activity of sod-podzolic sandy loam soil when using coffee waste and sewage sludge as a fertilizer for oats in comparison with traditional fertilizers is considered. During the study, it was determined that the predominant groups were bacteria and actinomycetes. Bacilli and fungi are few in number. The introduction of sewage sludge and coffee waste into the sod-podzolic sandy loam soil at a dose of 10 t / ha increases the activity of the microflora of the sod-podzolic sandy loam soil, which increases the effective and potential fertility.

New Perspective

The applicability of the typical pressure–sinkage models used to characterize the soil’s bearing properties is limited to homogeneous soils (infinite thickness) that have no hard layer. At a given depth, a hard layer can have a considerable impact on the soil’s load-bearing capacity. It is thus necessary to alter the pressure–sinkage equation by taking this condition into account when assessing the load-bearing capacity. The present paper aims to determine a simple, high-fidelity model, in terms of soil characterization, that can account for the hard layer affection. To assess hard layer affection in this paper, a plate sinkage test (bevameter) was conducted on sandy loam soil. To this end, the soil was prepared by considering three bulk densities and two soil thickness levels at 7–9% moisture content levels. According to the results, this paper put forth a new perspective and related equations for characterizing bearing performance. The sinkage modulus (k) is an intrinsic soil parameter that has a determined unit of N/cm2 and is significant for managing the bearing performance. The results showed that the new modulus sinkage model incorporates the main factor of the rigid layer effect involving high fidelity that the conventional models have failed to account for.

Water Holding

SUMMARYField experiments were conducted for 4 years to study the yield of ‘kharif’ and ‘rabi’ crops grown in sequence on two soils differing in water-holding capacity. The results indicated that drought caused greater reduction in yield of rainy-season crops on loamy sand than on sandy loam soil. In low retentivity soil it was more profitable to raise a single crop of wheat on soil-stored water. In sandy loam soil of higher retentivity, two crops a year gave much higher yields than a single crop. Of the sequences tried, maize followed by wheat gave the highest and most stable yields. For ‘rabi’ crops, stored water showed a better yield response than an equivalent amount of rain during the growing season.
