This document discusses acid soils, including their classification, formation processes, characteristics, impacts, and management. It defines acid soils as having a pH below 5.5 and lists various natural and human-induced causes of acidification like rainfall, parent material, and fertilizer use. Characteristics include low nutrient availability, aluminum toxicity, and reduced biological activity. Management involves applying lime to raise pH and supply calcium, with different lime sources and particle sizes impacting effectiveness. Crop residues and manures can also reduce acidity through mineralization reactions.

Nucleophilic Addition of carbonyl compounds.pptxSSR02
Nucleophilic addition is the most important reaction of carbonyls. Not just aldehydes and ketones, but also carboxylic acid derivatives in general.
Carbonyls undergo addition reactions with a large range of nucleophiles.
Comparing the relative basicity of the nucleophile and the product is extremely helpful in determining how reversible the addition reaction is. Reactions with Grignards and hydrides are irreversible. Reactions with weak bases like halides and carboxylates generally don’t happen.
Electronic effects (inductive effects, electron donation) have a large impact on reactivity.
Large groups adjacent to the carbonyl will slow the rate of reaction.
Neutral nucleophiles can also add to carbonyls, although their additions are generally slower and more reversible. Acid catalysis is sometimes employed to increase the rate of addition.
Professional air quality monitoring systems provide immediate, on-site data for analysis, compliance, and decision-making.

The use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptxMAGOTI ERNEST
Although Artemia has been known to man for centuries, its use as a food for the culture of larval organisms apparently began only in the 1930s, when several investigators found that it made an excellent food for newly hatched fish larvae (Litvinenko et al., 2023). As aquaculture developed in the 1960s and ‘70s, the use of Artemia also became more widespread, due both to its convenience and to its nutritional value for larval organisms (Arenas-Pardo et al., 2024). The fact that Artemia dormant cysts can be stored for long periods in cans, and then used as an off-the-shelf food requiring only 24 h of incubation makes them the most convenient, least labor-intensive, live food available for aquaculture (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021). The nutritional value of Artemia, especially for marine organisms, is not constant, but varies both geographically and temporally. During the last decade, however, both the causes of Artemia nutritional variability and methods to improve poorquality Artemia have been identified (Loufi et al., 2024).
Brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are used in marine aquaculture worldwide. Annually, more than 2,000 metric tons of dry cysts are used for cultivation of fish, crustacean, and shellfish larva. Brine shrimp are important to aquaculture because newly hatched brine shrimp nauplii (larvae) provide a food source for many fish fry (Mozanzadeh et al., 2021). Culture and harvesting of brine shrimp eggs represents another aspect of the aquaculture industry. Nauplii and metanauplii of Artemia, commonly known as brine shrimp, play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their nutritional value and suitability as live feed for many aquatic species, particularly in larval stages (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021).
Toxic effects of heavy metals : Lead and Arsenicsanjana502982
Heavy metals are naturally occuring metallic chemical elements that have relatively high density, and are toxic at even low concentrations. All toxic metals are termed as heavy metals irrespective of their atomic mass and density, eg. arsenic, lead, mercury, cadmium, thallium, chromium, etc.
Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.

Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.
DERIVATION OF MODIFIED BERNOULLI EQUATION WITH VISCOUS EFFECTS AND TERMINAL V...Wasswaderrick3
In this book, we use conservation of energy techniques on a fluid element to derive the Modified Bernoulli equation of flow with viscous or friction effects. We derive the general equation of flow/ velocity and then from this we derive the Pouiselle flow equation, the transition flow equation and the turbulent flow equation. In the situations where there are no viscous effects , the equation reduces to the Bernoulli equation. From experimental results, we are able to include other terms in the Bernoulli equation. We also look at cases where pressure gradients exist. We use the Modified Bernoulli equation to derive equations of flow rate for pipes of different cross sectional areas connected together. We also extend our techniques of energy conservation to a sphere falling in a viscous medium under the effect of gravity. We demonstrate Stokes equation of terminal velocity and turbulent flow equation. We look at a way of calculating the time taken for a body to fall in a viscous medium. We also look at the general equation of terminal velocity.

3. Acid soil
•Soil with low pH contain relatively high amounts of
exchangeable H+ & Al 3+considered as the acid soil.
•Ultra acidic : 3.3
•Extremly acidic : 3.5 to 4.5
•Very strong acidic: 4.5 to 5.0
•Strong acidic : 5.1 to 5.5
•Moderately acidic: 5.6 to 6.0
•Slightly acidic : 6.1 to 6.5
4. Occurrence
• 157 M ha cultivable land in India 49 M ha of land are acidic
• pH >5.6= 26 M ha
• pH 6.5= 23 M ha
• Acid soil occupies only 8% of total geographical area in
India.
Arunachal Pradesh - 6.79 M ha
Assam - 4.66 M ha
Manipur - 2.19 M ha
Meghalaya - 2.24 M ha
Mizoram - 2.05 M ha
Tripura - 1.05 M ha
6. Different sources for formation acid soil
•Rain fall
•Parent materials
•Fertilizer application
•Plant root activity
•Decomposition of organic
matter
•Climate
•Vegetation cover
•Topography
•Human interference
7. Rain fall
•Mostly found in excess rain fall areas (Hilly areas).
•Excess rain fall leaches base cation from the soil.
•Additionally rain water has a slightly acidic pH is 5
•Creates base unsaturation.
•Increase the percentage of Hydrogen and
Aluminium ion in soil
8. Parent materials
The development of acid soil on acidic rocks like Granite, Gneiss, quartz
silica.
When these rocks lacks bases, produce acidity in soil after decomposition
by weathering
Silicic acid- Orthosilicic acid & trisilicic acid
Reason for development of acid soil from parent material
Parental rock with simple composition.
Less adsorbed cation.
Poor buffering capacity.
Quick percolation of water through them.
9. Fertilizer use
•Repeated application of ammoniacal fertilizer leads to
formation of acid soil.
•Ammonium sulphate & Ammonium nitrate fertilizer
reacts in the soil process is called nitrification to form a
nitrate.
•This process release the Hydrogen ions.
10.
11. Plant root activity
•Plant uptake nutrients in the forms of both anion and
cation
•Plant must maintain a neutral charge in their roots
•In order to compensate the extra positive charge-
they release the H+ ions.
•Some plants roots produce the organic acid – acid
soil.
12. Decomposition of organic matter
Decomposition process requires the microorganism
Microorganism - release the CO2
CO2 reacts with soil water can produce the carbonic acid.
Acid soil
13. Climate
•Humid region development of acid soil good because
where evaporation is less than precipitation
•Acid soil must receive more than 750 mm annual
rainfall.
•Temperate region the acid soil can develop even if rain
fall scanty.
•Hilly region evaporation is very slow due to very low
temperature.
14. Vegetation cover
•Temperate region areas covered with conifers - acid
soil develop easily.
•Foliage of conifers lacks alkali substances.
•Leaf-litter on ground is degraded organic acids
(fulvic acid) produced its makes soil become acidic.
•Coastal region & marshy places plants after the
death & decay produce acid which render the acidic
15. Topography
•Sloppy places with good drainage condition are
supposed to be development of acid soil.
•Development of acid soil is very easy in hill slope
•In plains with good drainage condition enhance the
acid soil.
16. Human interferences
•Improving drainage in submerged lands
•In Cauvery delta region acid soil is formed due to
application ammoniacal fertilizer.
•Regular use of nitrogen fertilizers.
•Industrial wastes containing sulphur / Sulphur dioxide
contribute acid soil.
18. Laterization
•Occurs in tropical and sub tropical.
•Laterites are formed from the leaching of parent
rocks (Granite, Basalts, schist, sandstone).
•Laterites soils are rich in Al & Fe- Acidic in nature.
•Aluminium ore exist in clay minerals.
•Due to leaching acid dissolving the parent mineral
lattice.
•Easily leached ions of Ca, Mg, Na, K.
19. Podzolisation
•Process of soil formation especially in humid region.
•It involves mobilization and precipitation of dissolved
organic material and soluble mineral like Al & Fe are
leached from A horizon to B horizon.
•Its formed under moist, cool & acidic condition.
•Especially where the parent material such as quartz.
•Siliceous material creates strong acidic
22. Chemical
• Base unsaturated soil
• More anions than cations.
• Active and potential soil acidity.
• Toxic effects of Al concentration more.
• At low pH - Al, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Co availability is more
• P, Ca, Mg is less
23. Biological
•Fungi population is more than that of bacteria
•Fungi cause root disease.
•Rate of decomposition of biological material and
rate of mineralization and nitrification are reduced
when acidity is increased.
26. Physical
•In strongly acid soils the potential for reduced vegetation
- soil losses due to water & wind erosion are also
increased.
•low pH soils are more loosely held together - degraded
through external influences such as high rainfall events,
drought.
27.
28. Chemical
•Low pH
•More anion fixing capacity
•High percentage of base unsaturation
•Decrease the availability of P
•Aluminium toxicity is more
•Ca, Mg levels are decreased – deficiency occur
•Mo level decreased – deficiency occur
•Restriction of nitrogen fixation in legumes
29.
30. Biological
• Low soil pH leads to reduced growth of beneficial organisms.
• Low pH results in a change in the microbial decomposition
processes (essential for the release of nutrients from organic
matter).
• Symbiotic relationships between native vegetation and soil
organisms
• Decreasing the survival of native vegetation.
• Earthworms and some insects are unable to tolerate low -lead to
poorer soil structure and reduced organic matter decomposition
32. Application of liming materials
Different liming material to reclamation of acid soil
• Oxides - CaO
• Hydroxides - Ca(OH)2
• Carbonates - CaCO3
• Silicate of calcium - CaSiO3
35. Solubility and qualities of lime
•Lime is lowly soluble in water- particles must be finely
ground to neutralize soil acidity.
•Very small changes in the sizes of the particles have a
major effect on the time required to dissolve them.
•Effectiveness depends - Purity of the liming material &
how finely it is ground.
•The lower the CCE value, the more lime you will need
to neutralize the soil's acidity
37. •liming eliminates toxic Al3 +and H+ through the
reactions with OH–.
•Excess OH– from lime will raise the soil pH, which is
the most recognizable effect of liming.
•Another benefit of liming is the added supply of
Ca2+,as well as Mg2+
42. Effects of over liming
• Deficiency of Fe, Cu, Zn, P, K
• Increment of OH- activity may cause root injury
• Over liming Boron deficiency occur
• Too much application of lime increase the pore space in the
soil- soil dries up- efficiency of water use is low
43. Crop residues
•Soil pH changes after the addition of chickpea & canola
residues.
•The greatest increase in soil pH occurred after chickpea
addition as it is easily mineralized.
• Chickpea has a potential alkalinity.
•The soluble fraction was the main source of alkalinity
within the first 2 days.
Kochian LV, Hoekenga OA, Pineros MA (2004)
44. • Basic cations which are released during decomposition of crop
residuces increase the pH (Noble and Randall, 1999).
• The excess cation content, indicative of ash alkalinity,
represents the liming potential of residues (Noble et al., 1996).
(Rukshana et al., 2009).
45. Effects of unburned Lime on Soil pH and
Acidic Soil
•The lime materials used were agricultural burned lime
and 3 unburned lime materials
Karongi
Musanze
Rusizi
•Fineness of agricultural burned and Musanze unburned
lime were higher (70.57 and 63.03%, resp.).
C. Yamoah etal 1996
46. •The increase of Mg saturation was observed only
with Karongi unburned lime application.
•Use of 2.8 t/ha of Rusizi or Musanze unburned lime
as alternative to the agricultural burned lime –
decrease soil acidity.
C. Yamoah etal 1996
47. Comparison of agricultural lime and quick
lime
Crop: Lucerne
Agriculture lime : Increased pH from 5.3 to 5.6
Reduced Al level from 2 to 1.3 me/100g
Moir et al 2009
48. Neutralization of soil acidity by animal
manures & Comparison
Five animal manures
•Rabbit manure
•Swine manure
•Goat manure
•Poultry manure
•Cow manure Hue et al. (1986),
49. Reactions
•Organic manures mineralize- Ca ions are released
into the soil solution.
•Ca ions get hydrolysis process.
•Calcium hydroxide formed reacts with soluble
aluminum ions in the soil solution to give insoluble
Al(OH)3.
Hue et al. (1986),
50. Chemical composition of animal manure
Animal manure Ca Mg
Rabbit manure 1.37 2.16
Swine manure 1.37 1.30
Goat manure 1.37 0.83
Poultry manure 1.24 0.89
Cow manure 1.12 1.94
Ano et al 2007
51. Acidity
under successive pig slurry applications
•Pig slurry application as soil manure can alter the
chemical properties of the soil and affect its acidity,
modifying the environment for crop growth and
development.
•Deceased the acidity to a depth of 8cm.
Cledimar Rogério Lourenzi et al. 2008
52. •The application of pig slurry increased soil pH
•The applications also resulted in accumulation of Ca
and Mg exchangeable levels in the surface layers,
increasing base saturation and reducing Al3+
saturation.
Cledimar et al. 2008
53. Natural resources
• Nitrate leaching considered to be the dominant mechanism for
accelerated acidification
• The growing of deep-rooted perennial pastures (lucerne) is seen
as an answer to slowing the acidification process (Ridley et al.
1998).
• This could be achieved by perennial plants using available
nitrogen more efficiently thereby reducing nitrate leaching.
• The native eucalypts increase the surface soil pH (Wilson 2002)
55. Conclusion
• Soil acidity is a serious problem in agricultural land
• We improve soil health – practice various management
practices
• Based on soil test value recommend the fertilizer
• Judicious application of nitrogenous fertilizer
• To advice the farmer should know about soil test technology
