Long-Term Water Balance Of A Bare Soil With Slope In Chuncheon, South Korea, Mehmet Aydin, Yeong-Sang Jung, Jae E. Yang, Hyun-Il Lee
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
Water balance components of a bare soil with slope varying from 5% to 30% in Chuncheon, South Korea, were simulated using the E-DiGOR model, which proposed an interactive way to quantify runoff, drainage, soil water storage, and evaporation. Daily computations were carried out during the period of 1980 to 2009 for the identified soil-topography-climate combination. A strong correlation between measured pan evaporation and calculated potential soil evaporation was observed (R^2 = 63.8%, P < 0.01) based on the monthly data of the past 30 years (hereafter 'long-term'). When examining long-term dynamics of simulated soil evaporation, monthly mean potential and actual soil evaporations ranged from 9.1 and 9.0 mm in December to 110.5 and 75.2 mm in June and July, respectively. The ratio of actual to potential soil evaporation (E_a/E_p) had a close linkage with soil water content. The higher the soil water amount, the greater the E_a/E_p ratio was. A nonlinear relationship between rainfall and surface runoff was obtained at a given slope. Excess surface runoff and subsurface flow (percolation + interflow) occurred throughout the rainy months from July to September, with peaks in July. The ratio of direct surface runoff to rainfall increased with the natural logarithm of slope. The long-term mean annual direct surface runoff and subsurface flow at the maximum slope were 408.1 and 437.6 mm, respectively. Furthermore, mean annual surface runoff from the slope of 30% was approximately 2 times higher than that from the slope of 5%.

The present study was carried out with the objective of developing new parental lines of hybrid rice based on chromosome single-segment substitution lines (SSSLs), on which the restorer and maintainer genes Rf3 (rf3) and Rf4 (rf4) were harbored in rice. To develop the new 3-line hybrid, the SSSL W23-19-06-06-11 with the genotype Rf3Rf3/Rf4Rf4 [a strong restorer line for wild abortive (WA), dwarf-wild abortive (DA), and Yegong (Y) cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) lines] was crossed 4 times as the male parent with 4 CMS lines: 2 typical WA-type CMS lines of Bobai A and Zhenshan 97A, 1 typical Y-type CMS line …

The effects of Trichoderma harzianum, T. hamatum, T. viride, T. polysporum, and T. koningii on the wilt disease complex of chickpea caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri and Rhizoctonia solani were investigated under field conditions during 2 consecutive years. Chickpea cultivar Avrodhi, grown in plots inoculated with F. oxysporum f. sp. ciceri and R. solani, showed chlorosis of leaves and wilting of foliage and exhibited a 22%-25% decrease in yield. Soil application of biocontrol agents (BCAs) checked the severity of wilt by 25%-56% and 39%-67% and increased the yield of chickpea by 12%-28% and 8%-24% in the 2 years, …
