From:Australian Journal of Soil Research (Vol. 48, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedPhytotoxicity due to excessive boron (B) uptake by plants impedes routine agronomic utilisation of coal fly ash. We assessed 11 fly ashes (pH 3.14-10.77) having total B content ([B.sub.t]) of 12-136 mg/kg, of which...

From:Advances in Natural and Applied Sciences (Vol. 10, Issue 6 SE) Peer-ReviewedAluminum-based metal matrix composite (MMC) materials are used in the design of ground transportation vehicles and aircraft. Compared with conventional, unreinforced alloys, composite materials usually exhibit higher...

From:Australian Journal of Soil Research (Vol. 41, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedPhosphorus (P) fertilisers are an essential input for the economic production of legume-based pastures in New Zealand (NZ) and Australia, but they often contain some unwanted elements that can contaminate the soil,...

From:Australian Journal of Soil Research (Vol. 38, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedApplication of Mg fertilisers has been suggested as a means of reducing the incidence of Mg deficiency of forest trees in New Zealand and Europe. The objective of this study was to determine the rates of dissolution of...

From:Australian Journal of Soil Research (Vol. 48, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedThe effects of high concentrations of copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) in a soil treated with biosolids previously spiked with these metals on poplar (Populus deltoides x yunnanensis) were investigated in a pot trial. The...

From:Australian Journal of Soil Research (Vol. 45, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedIn situations where large amounts of soil are ingested, elevated fluorine (F) concentrations in topsoil under pasture may pose a potential F risk to grazing livestock. A study conducted on a Pallic Soil (Aeric...

From:Australian Journal of Soil Research (Vol. 36, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedThe NH(sub4)(sup+) form of nitrogen was found to increase acidification and improve the efficacy of phosphorus rock fertilizer applications in tea plant rhizospheres. In tests using comparisons between rhizosphere and...

From:Australian Journal of Soil Research (Vol. 37, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedAbstract Magnesium (Mg) deficiency is common in a number of forest regions in the world. It has been linked to a condition in P. radiata called `upper mid crown yellowing' (UMCY) in New Zealand and `new type forest...

From:Australian Journal of Soil Research (Vol. 45, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedElevated concentrations of fluorine (F) in pasture topsoils resulting from phosphorus (P) fertiliser (1-4% F) use are potentially toxic to grazing livestock if F absorption from ingested soil is high. Fluorine...

From:Canadian Journal of Forest Research (Vol. 36, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedAbstract: Phosphorus (P) availability was investigated in rhizosphere soils under 4- to 5-year-old, second-rotation Pinus radiata D. Don and understorey grass (browntop, Agrostis capillaris L.) in two P-deficient...

From:Australian Journal of Soil Research (Vol. 41, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedLarge reserves of P have accumulated in soils of developed countries because additions of P fertiliser to sustain agricultural production have exceeded crop removal. By contrast, in many developing countries in the...

From:Australian Journal of Soil Research (Vol. 44, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedThe spatial and time-dependent patterns of selenium (Se) release from similar-sized granules of 4 Se fertilisers, 3 containing sodium selenate (Unitech Agsel, Ravensdown A, and Ravensdown B) and the fourth containing...
