Exploring basin scale salinity problems using a simplified water accounting model: the example of Zayandeh Rud Basin, Iran by Droogers, Peter, Salemi, H.R., Mamanpoush, A.R.

“…However, if salinity levels are not to exceed 2 dS m-1, mean annual water release requirements from the reservoir will increase from 52 to 64 m3 s-1, and peak requirements during the irrigation season will increase from 85 to 112 m3 s-1. …”

Plant-available P for maize and cowpea in P-deficient soils from the Nigerian Northern Guinea savanna : Comparison of E- and L-values by Pypers, Pieter, Loon, L. van, Diels, J., Abaidoo, Robert C., Smolders, E., Merckx, Roel

“…We hypothesize that this plant-induced mobilization of P can be demonstrated if the plant accessible P assessed by isotopic dilution ( L-value ) exceeds the corresponding values assessed in soil extracts ( E-values ). …”

Practicas sencillas para aumentar el rendimiento del cultivo de la yuca (Manihot esculenta Crantz) by Leihner, D.E., Castro Merino, A.

“…It is recommendable to carry out planting on well-prepared land, using ridges if the soil is of a clay texture and if annual rainfall exceeds 1200 mm. Recommended planting practices are: planting the cutting in a vertical position, at a depth of 10 cm, using an optimum density (normally not less than 10,000 plants/ha) and a spatial arrangement adequate for the form of cultivation used (monoculture or association, mechanized or manual labor). …”

Adaptation of the SCS [Soil Conservation Service] runoff equation for a (Sub) humid monsoon climate by Yilak, Debebe L., Tilahun, Seifu A., Schmitter, Petra S., Nakawuka, Prossie, Haile, Alemseged Tamiru, Kassawmar, N. T., Guzmán, Christian D., Steenhuis, Tammo S.

“…The adaptation is based on the fact that in many humid areas the main mechanism for direct runoff is saturation excess and in monsoon climates the contributing area expands as a function of the cumulative effective rainfall ( Pe). …”

Implication of livestock feeding management on soil fertility in smallholder farming systems. by Delve, Robert J.

“…In contrast, the feeding of poultry manure, a supplement containing highly degradable N, resulted in larger excretions of excess rumen ammonia as N in the urine, 17.5 and 23.2 mg kg-1 W d-1 for 15% and 30% supplementation respectively. …”
