    Notes: The effects of soil temperature and soil moisture content on the rate of simazine degradation were measured in the laboratory in soils from sixteen sites located in several different countries. First-order half-lives under standard incubation conditions were significantly correlated with clay content, organic carbon content and soil pH in a multiple linear regression. The temperature dependence of degradation was similar in the different soils whereas the moisture dependence showed considerable variation between soils. Persistence of simazine was also measured in the same soils in the field and at live additional sites. Weather records from the different sites for the periods of the Held experiments were used in conjunction with constants derived from the laboratory data in a computer program to simulate persistence in the field. In general, the model overestimated residues in the field. About half of the calculated residues were within 25% of those observed, an accuracy sufficient for practical purposes, but on several occasions the discrepancies between calculated and observed residues were greater than 50%. Possible reasons for the discrepancies and requirements for further experiments are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract Three strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) cultivars Rainier, Totem and Selva were grown under greenhouse conditions in a Parkhill sandy loam soil with a background DTPA-extractable Cd concentration of 0.18 mg kg-1 and a pH of 5.1. Experimental treatments included combinations of 4 Cd applications (0, 15, 30 and 60 mg Cd kg-1 soil) applied as CdSO4 and 2 soil pH values 5.1 and 6.8. Both the application of Cd and pH of the soil significantly affected plant growth, yield and Cd accumulation in plant tissue anf fruit. Although roots accumulated the highest concentrations of Cd of all plant parts investigated, increased soil Cd application reduced leaf weight more than root weight. In general, yield of strawberries was decreased by an increase in amount of soil-applied Cd, however the yield response varied among cultivars. At 60 mg Cd kg-1 soil, yield of Rainier cultivar was reduced to 17.6% of control plants. Over 90% of total Cd taken up by plants grown in Cd-treated soil accumulated in roots, regardless of the Cd level in the soil. Root Cd concentrations ranged from 2.6 mg kg-1 (control plants) to 505.7 mg kg-1 (Totem plants grown in soil at highest Cd and a soil pH 5.1) and were directly related to soil Cd concentrations. Cd translocation from roots to leaves and fruit was very limited, resulting in a maximum Cd concentration in root leaf tissue of 10.2 mg kg-1. Accumulation of Cd in fruit was found to correlate well with leaf Cd, although even at the highest amount of applied Cd, fruit Cd concentration did not exceed 700 μg kg-1 of fresh weight.

    RESIDUES OF PARAQUAT AND LINURON IN AN ORGANIC SOIL AND THEIR UPTAKE BY ONIONS, LETTUCE AND CARROTS (1976)
    Canadian Science Publishing
    Details
    Publication Date: 1976-11-01
    Description: Paraquat (1,1′-dimethyl-4,4′-bipyridinium dichloride) and linuron [3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1-methoxy-1-methylurea] were applied to an organic soil, as spray treatments, at rates of 1.12 and 2.24 kg/ha, and 2.24 and 4.48 kg/ha, respectively. The persistence of the herbicides and their residues in lettuce (foliage), onions (root), and carrots (foliage and root) at harvest time were studied under field conditions. Proportionately more residues persisted in the soil from the higher rates of application of paraquat (2.24 kg/ha) and linuron (4.48 kg/ha). About 83–86% of the initial amounts of paraquat and 59–74% of the linuron remained in the soil 4 mo after application. Furthermore, about 50% of the paraquat was recovered from the treated soil 15 mo after application, whereas only about 20% of the linuron was recovered at the end of the same period. Carrots grown in this soil did not absorb detectable (〉0.005 ppm) amounts of linuron, while onions and lettuce grown 12 mo after application absorbed the herbicide in various amounts. At the lower rate of application (2.24 kg/ha) linuron residue in onions was 0.014 ppm and that from the higher application rate (4.48 kg/ha) was 0.046 ppm. Lettuce had about 0.009 ppm residue, irrespective of the rate of application. Onions and lettuce grown on paraquat-treated soil had low residue levels (0.001–0.011 ppm). The study demonstrates the potential of paraquat and linuron residues to persist in organic soil, and their uptake by vegetable crops.

    Effects of drip fertigation of NH4-N and P on soil pH and cation leaching (1993)
    Canadian Science Publishing
    Details
    Publication Date: 1993-05-01
    Description: Mixtures of ammonium nitrate and ammonium polyphosphate fertilizers were used to drip fertigate Summerland McIntosh apple trees (Malus domestica Borkh.) grown on M.9 rootstocks in gravelly sandy loam. Levels of N corresponding to 25 and 50% of the recommended broadcast rate (23.5 and 47.0 g tree−1, respectively) and three levels of P (0, 17.5 and 35.0 g tree−1) were applied in a factorial randomized complete block design. Soil acidification began within 1 yr in a zone extending approximately 60 cm vertically and horizontally from the drip source. Acidification was most severe at 20–30 cm directly beneath the emitter where the soil pH decreased from 5.8 to 4.5 after 1 yr and to 3.7 after three seasons of fertigation. Rate and magnitude of pH decline were equal for both rates of N and acidification was not enhanced by the simultaneous addition of P. Calcium, Mg and K were leached to the periphery of the acidified zone. The rapid displacement of K may be of concern, particularly when NH4 forms of N are drip-fertigated in coarse-textured soils with marginal K levels. Key words: Fertigation, soil acidification, cation leaching, nitrogen fertilizer

    Oxidation of elemental sulphur and acidulation of calcareous orchard soils in southern British Columbia (1993)
    Canadian Science Publishing
    Details
    Publication Date: 1993-02-01
    Description: The capacity of soils to oxidize S was measured by incubation with finely divided elemental S in 13 calcareous orchard soils from the southern interior of British Columbia. Sulphur oxidation rates ranged from 3.4 to 26 μg S cm−2 d−1. The magnitude of pH decrease in response to added S varied inversely with initial CaCO3 content (r = − 0.58, P = 0.04) and silt content (r = − 0.64, P = 0.02) and directly with sand content (r = 0.64, P = 0.02). Incubation studies with one calcareous orchard soil indicated that finely divided S was more effective over time than other acidulants (FeSO4, Al2 (SO4)3 and H2SO4). A field study was carried out on the same soil. Finely divided and bentonitic granulated S were applied at 4.5 t ha−1 on the grass surface or incorporated to a depth of 15 cm. Incorporated fine S was oxidized to a much greater extent during a 2-yr period than was incorporated grandulated S. However, when surface applied, they were oxidized equally but slowly. Key words: S incubation, acidulating materials, S oxidation, soil pH, electrical conductivity

    Long-term effects of orchard soil management on tree vigor and extractable soil nutrients (1992)
    Canadian Science Publishing
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-11-01
    Description: Bisbee Delicious apple trees on M.26 (Malus domestica Borkh.) rootstock were planted in 1982 on a neutral pH, loamy-sand soil and were subjected to five soil management-fertilizer regimes until 1989. Orchard floor vegetation control with herbicides was required to maximize tree growth. Annual application of P at 50 kg ha−1 and K at 100 kg ha−1 from 1984 to 1989 increased extractable soil P and K to the 40-cm depth but did not appear to increase tree vigor. Orchard floor vegetation maintained extractable soil Ca and Mg levels compared to vegetation control treatments. Key words: Orchard floor vegetation management, extractable soil P, K, Ca and Mg

    Long-term effects of preplant liming on apple trees and soil cation levels (1991)
    Canadian Science Publishing
    Details
    Publication Date: 1991-11-01
    Description: Nine years after liming a sandy loam orchard soil to pH 6.0 with calcium hydroxide or dolomitic lime, pH and extractable Ca and Mg were still higher where limed than where unlimed. However, pH had decreased below 5.0 in the limed and N-fertilized plots. Delicious (Malus domestica Borkh.) apple tree nutrition benefited from the two soil amendments. Leaf Mg was increased by dolomite. Leaf Ca was increased by calcium hydroxide. Leaf Mn, although highest in unlimed soils, increased over time for both limed and unlimed soil. Key words: Apple, lime application, reacidification

    EFFECT OF ORCHARD SOIL MANAGEMENT ON THE GROWTH AND LEAF NUTRIENT CONCENTRATION OF YOUNG DWARF RED DELICIOUS APPLE TREES (1985)
    Canadian Science Publishing
    Details
    Publication Date: 1985-05-01
    Description: Bisbee Delicious apple trees (Malus domestica Borkh.) on Mailing 26 rootstock, planted in 1979 on an Osoyoos loamy sand were subjected, commencing in 1981, to five different orchard soil management treatments including full ground cover, early season vegetation control, total vegetation control, black plastic mulching and shallow tillage. All ground cover suppression treatments decreased leaf K and increased leaf Mg, leaf N and yield. With the exception of early season vegetation control, all ground cover suppression treatments decreased leaf P although P was adequate for initial growth. Declines in soil solution Ca, Mg, and K concentration, 1980–1983, were observed regardless of soil management method. Key words: Apples, M.26 rootstock, leaf N, P, K, Ca, Mg, fruit yield

    LEACHING OF FOUR ORCHARD HERBICIDES IN SOIL COLUMNS (1981)
    Canadian Science Publishing
    Details
    Publication Date: 1981-05-01
    Description: The mobility of four residual orchard herbicides, diuron, dichlobenil, simazine and terbacil was compared in soil columns using a sandy loam and loam soil common to the Okanagan Valley. Mobility for all herbicides was greater in the sandy loam than loam soil. Dichlobenil was least mobile in the soil columns followed by diuron, simazine then terbacil. No dichlobenil was leached through the 30-cm sandy loam soil column with 120 cm of water but 40 cm of water leached more than half of the terbacil. More dichlobenil was converted to the water-soluble 2,6-dichlorobenzamide in the loam soil than in the sandy soil. This metabolite is water-soluble and was partially leached through the loam soil column with the highest level of irrigation.
