ABSTRACT: Irrigation using produced water, which is generated during crude oil and gas recovery and treated by the exploration industry, could be an option for irrigated agriculture in semiarid regions. To determine the viability of this option, the effects of this treated water on the nutritional status of plants should be assessed. For this purpose, we examined the nutritional changes in sunflowers after they were irrigated with oil-produced water and the effects of this water on plant biomass and seed production. The sunflower cultivar BRS 321 was grown for three crop cycles in areas irrigated with filtered produced water (FPW), reverse osmosis-treated produced water (OPW), or ground water (GW). At the end of each cycle, roots, shoots, and seeds were collected to examine their nutrient concentrations. Produced water irrigation affected nutrient accumulation in the sunflower plants. OPW irrigation promoted the accumulation of Ca, Na, N, P, and Mg. FPW irrigation favored the accumulation of Na in both roots and shoots, and biomass and seed production were negatively affected. The Na in the shoots of plants irrigated with FPW increased throughout the three crop cycles. Under controlled conditions, it is possible to reuse reverse osmosis-treated produced water in agriculture. However, more long-term research is needed to understand its cumulative effects on the chemical and biological properties of the soil and crop production.

Abstract: Cobalt (Co) and molybdenum (Mo) are vital nutrients for biological fixation and nitrogen assimilation by soybean. This study aimed to evaluate the increase of Co and Mo contents in soybean seeds by leaf applications. The experiment was carried out in a seed production field in a 3 × 3 factorial scheme with three Co and Mo doses and three treatments (times). Each treatment consisted of two application times: R3+R5.1 (T1), R3+R5.4 (T2), and R5.1+R5.4 (T3). Doses were 0, 400, and 600 g.ha−1 of Mo and 0, 40, and 60 g.ha−1 of Co. No difference was observed for productivity, one thousand-seed weight, and germination. An interaction was observed between dose and application time in the Mo content. The application of 400 g ha−1 of Mo in T1 (R3+R5.1) provided a higher Mo content in the seeds (13.5 g.kg−1), which is 1350% higher when compared to the control. For Co, there was a difference only for doses, and the application of 40 or 60 g.ha−1 of Co increased seed nutrient content by 30%. Therefore, a higher enrichment of Co and Mo was observed in seeds with applications of 40 and 400 g.ha−1, respectively, applied in R3+R5.1.

A field study was conducted to evaluate tolerance of pecan rootstocks to soil salinity and sodicity. Seven cultivars—Elliott, Giles, Ideal, Peruque, Riverside, ‘Shoshoni, and VC1-68—were selected from a range of geographic regions of origin. The soil of the experimental plot was a poorly drained, saline–sodic Pima silty clay variant. The irrigation water was a moderately saline mix of Gila River and local groundwater with an electrical conductivity of 2.8 dS⋅m–1, containing primarily ions of Na and Cl. Eighty seeds of each cultivar were planted in a greenhouse in late Feb. 2016; 48 seedlings of each cultivar were transplanted into field plots in Feb. 2017. Half the trees received a soil-based application of Zn–ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) at planting. The trees were observed and rated for both vigor and resistance to salt injury on seven separate occasions. Trunk diameter was measured each dormant season. Leaf samples were collected on 9 Oct. 2019 and 6 Oct. 2020, and were analyzed for nutrient content. Zn-EDTA was not found to have a significant effect on growth, vigor, or resistance to salt injury. ‘Elliott’ seedlings exhibited greater tolerance for the alkaline, saline–sodic soil conditions than other cultivars. ‘Giles’ and ‘Peruque’ were most severely affected. Resistance to salt injury (ranging from marginal leaf burn to necrosis of entire leaf), vigor, and growth correlated more strongly with foliar concentrations of Na than Cl or K during 2019. Vigor and growth were not significantly correlated with foliar Na, Cl, or K concentrations in 2020. The foliar K:Na ratio had a nearly equal correlation with resistance to salt injury and a greater correlation with growth than that of Na alone in 2019. However, although the correlation of the K:Na ratio with vigor was stronger than that of Cl or K, Na had the strongest correlation with vigor in 2019. In 2020, the only significant correlation of growth and vigor was with the K:Na ratio. The strongest correlation with resistance to salt injury in 2020 was with foliar Na concentration.

The purpose of this research are to determine the potential of consortium of plant growth-promoting bacteria as an active ingredients of bio-organic fertilizers and to determine the effect of bio-organic fertilizers on growth and production of maize. The research was carried out at the Politeknik Pertanian Negeri Payakumbuh Experimental Field, Limapuluh Kota Regency, West Sumatra in March-July 2020. The research was starting with the manufacture of water hyacinth bio-organic fertilizer (POH) which inoculated with a consortium of bacteria from the genera Pseudomonas and Bacillus. POH observations were carried out on species, population size, and nutrient content of bio-organic fertilizers. The POH application research was using a factorial design in a randomized block design with treatment I at POH 40, 80, 120, 160 ml / l water and treatment II with frequency of 2, 3, 4 times giving POH. The variables observed were N, P, K nutrient content, plant dry weight, and dry maize seed production. The results of the POH study contained P. aeruginosa, B. subtilis, and B. cereus with a total population of 2,8,107–2,8,108, potentially as active ingredients for bio-organic fertilizers. POH water hyacinth can increase plant N, P, K nutrients, plant dry weight, and dry maize seed production. The optimal POH dose for all observed variables is 80 ml / l of water.

Definition Of

Food composition data (FCD) comprises the description and identification of foods, as well as their nutrient content, other constituents, and food properties. FCD are required for a range of purposes including food labeling, supporting health claims, nutritional and clinical management, consumer information, and research. There have been differences within and beyond Europe in the way FCD are expressed with respect to food description, definition of nutrients and other food properties, and the methods used to generate data. One of the major goals of the EuroFIR NoE project (2005 - 10) was to provide tools to overcome existing differences among member states and parties with respect to documentation and interchange of FCD. The establishment of the CEN’s (European Committee for Standardisation) TC 387 project committee on Food Composition Data, led by the Swedish Standards Institute, and the preparation of the draft Food Data Standard, has addressed these deficiencies by enabling unambiguous identification and description of FCD and their quality, for dissemination and data interchange. Another major achievement of the EuroFIR NoE project was the development and dissemination of a single, authoritative source of FCD in Europe enabling the interchange and update of data between countries, and also giving access to users of FCD.
