Soybean (Glycine max) is a high water-demand crop and grown under moderate temperature in Japan. To protect the crop from hot summer and to utilize rainfall for its cultivation, selection of appropriate mulching material(s) is crucial. For optimum production of the crop, soil moisture and temperatur...

Numerical simulations for predicting soil-water and heat-flow regimes beneath mulched soils are important to increase the opportunity for efficient use of mulching in agriculture. This study simulated water and heat flows by HYDRUS-1D model under rice-straw mulching and bare soil treatments for rain...

Abstract Soil thermal regime, a crucial factor in plant growth and development, is influenced by the colour of plastic mulch. The effects of black plastic mulch (BPM), silver plastic mulch (SPM), transparent plastic mulch (TPM) and bare soil on the soil temperature regime as well as on the growth an...

Soybean (Glycine max) is a commercially important oilseed crop across the world; it is also popularly used as vegetables, cookery and fodder crops in Japan. In areas with limited rainfall and high temperature, mulching can provide greater yield of rain-fed soybean by improving soil hydro-thermal reg...

Abstract Numerical simulation can help understanding water- and heat-flow systems through plastic-mulched soils. An effective simulation approach is crucial to know the role of plastic mulch in a soil ecosystem, which can save water in agriculture. A field experiment was conducted at Gifu University...

An attempt was made to assess the effect of deficit irrigation on yield components at individual growth stages of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill]. The deficit irrigation treatments were 0 - 25, 25 - 50, 50 - 75 and 75 - 100% of total available water (TAW). Evapotranspiration was dominated in orde...

An experiment was conducted in a vinyl house at Gifu University, Japan, from June to November 2008 to investigate the effects of water stress on root/shoot ratio and water use efficiency (WUE) at different growth stages, and its influence on yield efficiency (YE) of soybean. The treatment imposed wa...

Strategies are needed to promote the existence of Soil Sciences at the international level. One of the strategic efforts that can be done is by organizing an International Conference by the Journal of Soil Science on a regular basis, which is referred to as the International Journal of Soil Science:...
