Effect of zeolite in improving the chemical properties of sandy and loamy soils
Journal Title: Journal of Research in Ecology - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
This study was conducted in the field of Agriculture college, Al-Muthanna University at the winter season 2016-2017, to study the effect of zeolite mineral on the chemical properties of sand. Six levels of natural zeolite metal 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1%, were used with two levels of decomposed animal organic matter at 0.2 and 0.4%, in two different soil cultures (sandy and loamy) to study. Zeolite was mixed with the organic matter and 10 Kg of soil in an anvil capacity 15-25 Kg to reach the size 6*2*2 m. The chemical fertilizer NPK was mixed with soil and zeolite according to the fertilizer recommendation of the wheat crop. For all the treatments, the wheat seeds were planted by the Maxibak class on 15/11/2016 and harvested on 15/4/2017. The results showed that the added zeolite led to the rise in the sandy and loamy soils reaction degree and lowering in the electrical conductivity rates and dissolved salts in both soils which increased zeolite mineral adding rate that contributed the rising of the rate of cation exchange capacity and NPK during growth period in the soil. The sandy soil response significantly improved the level of 1% zeolite with 0.4% organic matter. The results showed that the addition rate of zeolite was associated with the rate of soil organic matter
