Reclamation of calcareous soil (IGKV RAIPUR C.G)
Cultural, water, biological, and chemical methods can be used to reclaim calcareous soil. Cultural methods include tillage to improve pore space and water holding capacity, mulching to leach salts in initial years, and continuous cropping to gradually reduce excess sodium percentage with depth. Water management involves drainage to store 15 cm of rainfall without affecting rice yields and leaching salts. Biological reclamation uses organic manure addition, which helps dissolve calcium compounds through decomposition and root action. Chemical reclamation employs phosphatic fertilizers placed near plant roots and in ball form to increase phosphorus availability, and amendments like gypsum, calcium chloride, sulfuric acid, and iron sulfate which supply soluble calcium or hydrolyze to form acids
Chemistry of submerged soils
This document discusses soil chemistry in submerged soils. It explains that submergence leads to a lack of oxygen in the soil, causing a shift from aerobic to anaerobic organisms. Anaerobic respiration causes chemical compounds other than oxygen to be reduced in a predictable sequence from the least to most energetically favorable. This results in changes to the chemical forms of elements like nitrogen, iron, and sulfur in the soil. Submergence also typically causes soil pH to become more neutral. Nutrient availability is highest within this neutral pH range common for submerged soils.
Sources of charges in soil
This document discusses sources of charges in soil colloids and ion exchange processes. There are two main types of charges - pH dependent charges from exposed crystal edges, and pH independent charges from isomorphous substitution during clay mineral formation. Ion exchange involves the exchange of cations and anions between soil solution and colloidal complexes. Key concepts discussed include cation exchange capacity (CEC), anion exchange capacity (AEC), and base saturation percentage (BSP) which influence soil fertility. CEC indicates the total negative charge on soil colloids and ability to retain cations. AEC is the capacity to adsorb or release anions. BSP above 80% indicates fertile soil.
Saline And Sodic Soils
Saline, sodic, and saline-sodic soils occur when rainfall is insufficient to leach salts below the root zone, leaving soils high in salts like sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride, and sulfate. Saline soils have high salt levels that increase osmotic pressure and reduce water availability to plants. Sodic soils have high sodium levels that disperse soil particles, reducing infiltration and root growth. Saline-sodic soils contain both high salts and sodium but remain flocculated if salt levels stay elevated; management focuses on exchanging sodium for calcium followed by leaching salts. Proper irrigation water quality and sufficient leaching are needed to manage all salt-affected soils for agriculture.

This document provides information about a course assignment on phosphorus reactions in acid and alkaline soils. The assignment covers topics such as problems of phosphorus availability in acid and alkaline soils, reactions of phosphorus in soils including adsorption and precipitation, types of phosphorus fixation, behavior of phosphatic fertilizers in soils, and management of phosphorus under field conditions. The document outlines the contents to be covered in the assignment and provides details on various phosphorus reactions and processes in different soil types.
sulfur fertilizer source and forms
The document discusses sulfur as a plant nutrient, including its sources, forms in soil, and factors affecting its availability. Sulfur exists in both inorganic and organic forms in soil, and is taken up by plants primarily as sulfate ions. Its availability is influenced by soil properties like texture, pH, organic matter, and redox conditions. Sulfur deficiency can limit plant growth, so fertilization may be needed to maintain sufficient levels for crop production.
Phosphate fixation
The document presents information on phosphate fixation in soils. It discusses how phosphorus is an essential nutrient for plant growth but is limited in about 40% of the world's soils due to fixation reactions. These reactions reduce the solubility and availability of phosphorus by adsorbing phosphate ions onto soil particles like iron, aluminum, and calcium compounds. The degree of fixation depends on soil properties like mineral composition, pH, and calcium carbonate content. Phosphate can be temporarily or permanently fixed depending on the reaction conditions, reducing phosphorus efficiency in soils to 10-20%.
Characterisation and management of salt affected soils (1)
Salt affected soils are soils containing soluble salts that negatively impact plant growth. They are classified as saline soils containing neutral salts or alkali soils containing soluble sodium salts. Saline soils occur in arid regions due to insufficient rainfall for leaching salts out of the soil. Alkali soils form due to accumulation of soluble sodium salts that disperse soil particles. Management of salt affected soils involves physical measures like leaching and drainage, chemical amendments like gypsum, and soil management practices like basin irrigation and growing salt tolerant crops.

Management of Red lateritic soil and Dry land soil...pptx
The document discusses the management principles of red lateritic soil and dryland soil. Red lateritic soil is rich in iron and aluminum, and found in hot, wet tropical areas. It has low organic matter and water holding capacity. Management includes adding clay or rice husk to improve physical properties, growing tolerant crops, and liming to reduce toxicity. Dryland soils have low fertility and moisture. Management involves adopting drought-resistant crop varieties and systems, mechanical methods to reduce erosion, and maintaining soil fertility.
Acid soil and acid sulphate soil, genesis and characteristics
This document discusses acid soils and acid sulfate soils. It defines different levels of soil acidity and notes that about 8% of India's land area is affected by acid soils. The key causes of acid soil formation are excessive rainfall, acidic parent materials, fertilizer and organic matter decomposition, and human activities like drainage. Acid soils have light texture, low nutrient availability, and reduced biological activity. Liming can reduce acidity and aluminum toxicity. Acid sulfate soils form in coastal areas and produce sulfuric acid when drained, releasing toxic aluminum and iron. Maintaining flooding or controlling drainage helps manage acid sulfate soils.
Chemistry and physics of submerged soil
This document summarizes submerged soils. It discusses four main types: waterlogged (gley) soils, marsh soils, paddy soils, and subaquatic soils. It describes the characteristics of submerged soils, including the absence of oxygen, chemical changes that occur like reduction, and transformations of carbon, nitrogen, iron, manganese, sulfur, phosphorus, silicon and trace elements. Key points are that submerged soils become anaerobic, chemical elements shift to their reduced forms, and decomposition of organic matter produces gases like methane and hydrogen sulfide.

Applied Science: Thermodynamics, Laws & Methodology.pdf
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.

The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically young
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.

The use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptx
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).
ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptx
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.
