Abstract:
GIS project was developed for the radioactively contaminated territory of the Tulskii NII. It was created in order to project the adaptive landscape agricultures. It was based on the information on the concentrations of 137Cs radionuclide in soil, compiled over 16 years. Electronic maps have been developed to create a GIS project and included the location of agricultural lands; crop rotation systems; distribution of specific activity values for artificial 137Cs radionuclide in agricultural lands; agrochemical indexes (the humus content, potassium content, contribution of phosphorus, the acidity), soil types, relief. The created GIS project and the corresponding data bases will be used to collect, store and analyse the results of the survey in order to project the adaptive landscape agricultures. Key words: GIS project, adaptive landscape agriculture, agricultural lands, radiation safety.

Abstract:
Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is one of the major vegetable crops of Nepal. Potato is grown all over the globe and consumed as either vegetable or staple food depending upon the crop production scenario. It is also an integral part of human diet. Potato is a high nutrient mining crop and needs higher fertilization for economic tuber production. Despite sufficient application of Nitrogen (N) and Phosphorus (P2O5), low replenishment and widespread potassium deficiency are limiting the potato production in Nepalese condition. Growth parameters such as plant height, leaf area and chlorophyll% was positively correlated with potassium application. Potassium alleviated stresses of frost and drought and reduced incidence of diseases like late blight, black scurf and hollow heart. Potassium also decreased the reducing sugar content and improved chips color and quality. Similarly, potassium application before harvest was found to increase storage life of potato tubers. Furthermore, potassium application significantly increased the yield of potato tubers and quality parameters such as Vitamin C content and specific gravity. Source of potassium and method of potassium application also affected growth, yield and quality parameters. Soil application of potassium in splits coupled with foliar spay was found to perform better. Optimum dose of potassium was recommended for economic tuber production Int. J. Appl. Sci. Biotechnol.

Abstract:
This study was conducted to quantify the spatial variability of soil properties, use this information to produce accurate map by means of ordinary kriging and find the ways to reclaim the problem soil and make suggestions to cultivate the crop variety which is suitable for the existing soil property.70 sampling points were selected for that research using stratified random sampling method. Stratification was based on the type of land cover, and following land cover patterns were identified forest patches, agriculture land patches, grass land patches and catchments. Sampling points were randomly selected from each land cover types. Minimum distance between two adjacent sampling points was 500m. Soil samples were analyzed for pH, EC, exchangeable K, available P. In each location, soils were collected from top to - 30 cm depth (root zone) using a core sampler and sub soil samples were collected around the geo-reference point to obtain a composite sample. Geostatistical tool of the software (ArcGIS 10.2.2. trail version) was used to construct semi-variograms and spatial structure analysis for the variables. Geostatistical estimation had done by kriging. 13% of agriculture land area was acidic soil and 5.7% alkaline soil. 13% of agriculture land area was identified as saline soil. 67.11% of agriculture lands contain more phosphorous concentration than the optimum range. 3.4% agriculture lands contain higher potassium concentration than the optimum range. 98% of forest lands and 100% of grass lands contains phosphorous concentration higher than the optimum range. But forest lands and catchments shows lower level of potassium concentration. 22% of grass lands contain higher potassium than the optimum level. Agriculture practices leads to change in the soil hence identified soil problems should be reclaimed in order to maintain the fertility of soil for sustainable production. Proper management of soil can be a better solution for supporting the successful agricultural activity of community in future and socio-economic development of this region.INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTVolume-5, Issue-4, Sep-Nov 2016, page : 1-11

Estudos que contemplem o balanço de potássio (K) no sistema solo-planta são importantes para avaliar se as quantidades de fertilizantes aplicadas anualmente estão sendo aproveitadas para manter e/ou, melhorar a fertilidade do solo, ou estão intensificando as perdas de K por lixiviação. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito da adubação potássica no balanço de K no sistema solo-planta em dois solos tropicais de texturas distintas. Os experimentos foram conduzidos na Fazenda Experimental Lageado, em Botucatu, SP, de 2000 a 2012, em um Latossolo Vermelho de textura média (210 g kg–1 de argila) e em outro Latossolo Vermelho de textura argilosa (680 g kg–1 de argila). Os tratamentos foram constituídos por sete doses de K aplicadas anualmente (0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 e 180 kg ha–1 ano–1 de K2O). O balanço de K no sistema solo-planta foi estimado, após o décimo segundo ano de experimento, considerando a quantidade do nutriente adicionada na adubação, a quantidade de K exportada da lavoura através dos grãos colhidos, e a alteração na disponibilidade de K trocável no perfil do solo, até 1,0 m de profundidade. Amostras de solo foram coletadas nas camadas de 0–0,10; 0,10–0,20; 0,20–0,40; 0,40–0,60; 0,60–0,80 e 0,80–1,0 m de profundidade no 12º ano de condução do experimento. O teor inicial de 1,30 e 0,75 mmolc dm–3 de K trocável na camada de 0–0,20 m de profundidade nos solos de textura média e argilosa, respectivamente, foi suficiente para atingir produtividade de grãos de soja superior a 90 % do rendimento máximo nos três e quatro primeiros anos de cultivo, respectivamente, não havendo necessidade de adubar com K, devido à contribuição do K não-trocável. A resposta da cultura à adubação potássica aumentou à medida que os cultivos se sucederam, e esse aumento correspondeu à diminuição das reservas disponíveis do nutriente no solo ...

Potassium budget in the soil-plant system was calculated based on (i) amount of nutrient inputs (fertilizer) and outputs (harvested grains) from the soil during the experiment, and on (ii) changes in soil K availability up to a depth of 1.0 m. The initial content of 1.30 and 0.75 mmol dm–3 of exchangeable K in the soil medium and clay texture was enough to achieve higher productivity soybeans at 90% of maximum yield in the first three to four years of cultivation, respectively, no need to fertilize with K because the contribution of non-exchangeable K. The crop response to potassium fertilization increased, as the succeeding crops, and this increase corresponded to a decrease in soil nutrient reserves available. The annual application of 80 and 40 kg ha–1 K2O was sufficient to meet crop demand and maintain a constant level of exchangeable K in the soil of clayey and silty , respectively texture. Increasing the dose of potassium fertilizer intensified K losses by leaching the soil of medium texture, which ranged 4-78 kg ha–1 ...

Com o uso de cultivares de batata (Solanum tuberosum L.) mais produtivas, possivelmente a demanda por nutrientes também ficou maior, levando a necessidade de se adequar a adubação. Dentre os nutrientes absorvidos pela cultura, destaca-se o potássio (K), que é extraído em grande quantidade, e é de extrema importância para o desenvolvimento da cultura, para a elevação da produtividade e para proporcionar tubérculos de maior qualidade. Muitos produtores estão adotando adubações sem recomendação técnicas e, como o K é muito extraído pela cultura, as baixas doses de K e manejo inadequado podem estar limitando a produtividade, principalmente em áreas com baixos teores de K disponível. Diante do exposto, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito de doses e do parcelamento da adubação potássica na nutrição e produtividade da cultura da batata, cv. Ágata. Foram realizados três experimentos em campo, em solos de textura argilosa e com teores baixo (0,7 mmolc dm-3), médio (1,6 mmolc dm-3) e alto (3,7 mmolc dm-3) de K trocável. Os experimentos foram conduzidos no delineamento experimental de blocos casualizados, em esquema fatorial 3x2+1, com quatro repetições. Os tratamentos foram compostos pela combinação de três doses de K (100, 200 e 400 kg ha-1 de K2O), com duas formas de parcelamento (100% no sulco de plantio e 50% no sulco + 50% em cobertura, por ocasião da amontoa) e mais uma testemunha (sem aplicação de K). Independentemente do parcelamento, o aumento das doses de K proporcionou incremento no teor de K na folha da batateira, cultivada em solos com baixa, média e alta disponibilidade de K, porém, de forma mais acentuada no solo com baixo teor. No solo com baixo teor de K trocável, a aplicação da dose K totalmente no sulco de plantio proporcionou maior teor de K na folha do que quando parcelado no plantio e em cobertura. Independentemente da disponibilidade de ...
With the use of more productive potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) cultivars, the plant’s demand for nutrients has possibly increased, raising the necessity of adjustments on fertilizer application. Potassium (K), which is extracted in high amounts, is one of the main nutrients absorbed by the plant. This compound is of pivotal importance to potato development, especially to increase its yield and to generate high quality tubers. Many producers are making use of fertilization without a proper technical recommendation. As K uptake by the plant is very high, low K rates and inadequate management can impair tuber yield, mainly in soil with low K availability. In this context, this study aimed to evaluate the effects of K fertilization rates and split application on nutrition and yield or potato crop, cv. Agata. For this, three field experiments was carried out on clay-textured soils with low (0.7 mmolc dm-3), medium (1.6 mmolc dm-3) and high (3.7 mmolc dm-3) exchangeable K concentration. These experiments was conducted under a randomized block design using a 3x2+1 factorial scheme, with four replications. The treatments consisted of three K rates (100, 200, and 400 kg ha-1 K2O), combined with two forms of split application (100 % at planting furrow or 50% at planting furrow + 50% at sidedressing, during hilling) and a control (without K application). Regardless of installments, increasing K rates showed an increase in K concentration in leaf of potato grown in soils with low, medium, and high K availability, but more markedly in soil with low availability. In soil with low concentration of exchangeable K, the application of K rate totally at planting furrow increased the concentration of K in the leaf than when split applied at planting and hilling. Regardless of the soil K availability, K fertilization reduced the concentrations of P, Ca, and Mg in leaf of potato crop and little influenced the ...

O excesso da adubação pode causar prejuízos na cultura do pimenteiro e danos ao meio ambiente. Por isso, a escolha do fertilizante e a aplicação de uma solução nutritiva equilibrada são fundamentais para a produção e qualidade do produto final. Assim, objetivou-se com o presente trabalho avaliar os efeitos do incremento da adubação potássica, utilizando diferentes fontes e doses potássicas na produção dos frutos de pimenteiro fertirrigado cultivado em substrato sob ambiente protegido, bem como monitorar o estado nutricional do pimenteiro por meio de métodos alternativos. As características avaliadas foram: CE e pH da solução do substrato, teores de nitrato e potássio na solução do substrato e na seiva das plantas, teores de macro e micronutrientes na massa seca foliar, índice SPAD, número de frutos total e comercial, produção total e comercial, massa fresca, comprimento e diâmetro dos frutos e as correlações entre essas variáveis. O experimento foi conduzido sob delineamento experimental de blocos ao acaso, em esquema fatorial 4 x 2 + 1, constituindo 9 tratamentos, com 4 repetições.

The initial content of 1.30 and 0.75 mmol dm-3 of exchangeable K in the soil medium and clay texture was enough to achieve higher productivity soybeans at 90% of maximum yield in the first three to four years of cultivation, respectively, no need to fertilize with K because the contribution of non-exchangeable K. The crop response to potassium fertilization increased, as the succeeding crops, and this increase corresponded to a decrease in soil nutrient reserves available. The annual application of 80 and 40 kg ha-1 K2O was sufficient to meet crop demand and maintain a constant level of exchangeable K in the soil of clayey and silty , respectively texture. Increasing the dose of potassium fertilizer intensified K losses by leaching the soil of medium texture, which ranged 4-78 kg ha-1 ...

Abstract:
In an effort to determine the agronomic necessity of K fertilization of cotton (Gossypium spp.) in Arizona, a five-year study was initiated in 1991, with a single field study near Gila Bend. Subsequent sites selected ranged from western (Yuma) to eastern (Safford) Arizona which totaled 11 site-years. Both Upland (G. hirsutum L.) and Pima (G. barbadense L.) cottons were cultivated, using soil and foliar applications of K. In 1992, study sites included the Safford Ag. Center (SAC), Maricopa Ag. Center (MAC), and a fanner cooperator site at Coolidge. In 1993, the experiment stations (SAC and MAC) were continued and Yuma Valley was added. The 1994 sites included only the experiment stations (SAC and MAC). In 1995, SAC and MAC were again maintained and a third location, a fanner cooperator site at Buckeye was added. Results from the study (12 site-years) indicated no lint yield increases due to K fertilization in all locations with either Upland or Pima cotton However, in 1995 at Buckeye, the result revealed a significant yield reduction due to the K foliar treatments. There were, however, no significant differences among the soil-only or the soil- plus-foliar treated plots at this location. Potassium (K) release kinetics of clay samples from 10 agricultural representative soils of Arizona was determined by successive extraction using a Ca-saturated cation resin. A preseason physical and chemical characterization of the soils showed all soils contain smectite-mica minerals. Four mathematical models (power function, Elovich, parabolic diffusion and first-order) were used to describe the nonexchangeable K release reaction involving 700-hour cumulative extraction time. Comparison of the models using the coefficient of determination (r²) and the standard error of the estimate (SE) indicated that the Elovich and the power function equations overall displayed the best fit. The first-order, and for the most part, the parabolic diffusion equation did not describe the K release very well. The constants a (initial rate) and b (release rate) for the Elovich and the power function equations, are at least in the order of magnitude as those found by others in several previous studies.

Resumo: Com o uso de cultivares de batata (Solanum tuberosum L.) mais produtivas, possivelmente a demanda por nutrientes também ficou maior, levando a necessidade de se adequar a adubação. Dentre os nutrientes absorvidos pela cultura, destaca-se o potássio (K), que é extraído em grande quantidade, e é de extrema importância para o desenvolvimento da cultura, para a elevação da produtividade e para proporcionar tubérculos de maior qualidade. Muitos produtores estão adotando adubações sem recomendação técnicas e, como o K é muito extraído pela cultura, as baixas doses de K e manejo inadequado podem estar limitando a produtividade, principalmente em áreas com baixos teores de K disponível. Diante do exposto, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito de doses e do parcelamento da adubação potássica na nutrição e produtividade da cultura da batata, cv. Ágata. Foram realizados três experimentos em campo, em solos de textura argilosa e com teores baixo (0,7 mmolc dm-3), médio (1,6 mmolc dm-3) e alto (3,7 mmolc dm-3) de K trocável. Os experimentos foram conduzidos no delineamento experimental de blocos casualizados, em esquema fatorial 3x2+1, com quatro repetições. Os tratamentos foram compostos pela combinação de três doses de K (100, 200 e 400 kg ha-1 de K2O), com duas formas de parcelamento (100% no sulco de plantio e 50% no sulco + 50% em cobertura, por ocasião da amontoa) e mais uma testemunha (sem aplicação de K). Independentemente do parcelamento, o aumento das doses de K proporcionou incremento no teor de K na folha da batateira, cultivada em solos com baixa, média e alta disponibilidade de K, porém, de forma mais acentuada no solo com baixo teor. No solo com baixo teor de K trocável, a aplicação da dose K totalmente no sulco de plantio proporcionou maior teor de K na folha do que quando parcelado no plantio e em cobertura. Independentemente da disponibilidade de ...
Abstract: With the use of more productive potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) cultivars, the plant's demand for nutrients has possibly increased, raising the necessity of adjustments on fertilizer application. Potassium (K), which is extracted in high amounts, is one of the main nutrients absorbed by the plant. This compound is of pivotal importance to potato development, especially to increase its yield and to generate high quality tubers. Many producers are making use of fertilization without a proper technical recommendation. As K uptake by the plant is very high, low K rates and inadequate management can impair tuber yield, mainly in soil with low K availability. In this context, this study aimed to evaluate the effects of K fertilization rates and split application on nutrition and yield or potato crop, cv. Agata. For this, three field experiments was carried out on clay-textured soils with low (0.7 mmolc dm-3), medium (1.6 mmolc dm-3) and high (3.7 mmolc dm-3) exchangeable K concentration. These experiments was conducted under a randomized block design using a 3x2+1 factorial scheme, with four replications. The treatments consisted of three K rates (100, 200, and 400 kg ha-1 K2O), combined with two forms of split application (100 % at planting furrow or 50% at planting furrow + 50% at sidedressing, during hilling) and a control (without K application). Regardless of installments, increasing K rates showed an increase in K concentration in leaf of potato grown in soils with low, medium, and high K availability, but more markedly in soil with low availability. In soil with low concentration of exchangeable K, the application of K rate totally at planting furrow increased the concentration of K in the leaf than when split applied at planting and hilling. Regardless of the soil K availability, K fertilization reduced the concentrations of P, Ca, and Mg in leaf of potato crop and little influenced the ...

Abstract:
Potassium (K) fertility requirements for cotton ( Gossypium spp) have been a matter of concern due to increasing interest and emphasis on fiber quality and numerous reports of K deficiencies in various cotton producing regions. To address this matter appropriately, a thorough understanding of the chemical, physical, and mineralogical composition of the soils in question is in order. Soil samples were collected from ten sites across southern Arizona that are representative of the common agricultural soils of the region. At all locations soils were sampled to a depth of 120 cm in 30 cm increments. All soils were characterized with respect to chemical composition by the following parameters: exchangeable K, total K, cation exchange capacity and particle size analysis. With the exception of one soil (a soil not commonly employed in cotton production), none of the chemically characterized soils contained less than 150 mg K kg⁻¹ of extractable K in the surface 90 cm of soil. All of the soils contained K- bearing mica and none of the soils contained any K- fixing vermiculite. From the initial chemical and mineralogical information, K fertilization is not likely for similar situations in Arizona. Further research is under way to quantify the K-fixing ability of each soil in this survey and additional field studies are also being conducted to evaluate K fertilization in both Upland (G. hirsutum L.) and Pima (G. barbadense L.) cotton.

Abstract:
Due to high organic loading rates, several chemicals in distillery spent wash have high B.O.D. and C.O.D. values. The cost of treating and disposing of spent wash is expensive. Hence Composting is one of the most effective methods for achieving this. Sugarcane farms agricultural waste is used as a raw material. The goal of this study is to figure out how to compost agricultural waste utilizing aerobic and windrow composting techniques. Pits should be 3m long, 1.5m wide and 1m high for aerobic composting, and 3m long, 1.5m wide, and 1.2m high for windrow composting (Composting, W.H.O Book). Turning should be done on the 5th, 17th, and 30th days of the interval for aerobic composting. For windrow composting, it should be provided after 2-4 weeks. To decompose the agricultural waste cow dung and spent wash were utilized as a media. The study research indicates that it should be cost-effective. The quality of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and the mass of carbon to nitrogen ratio (C/N ratio) were analyzed. The parametric values, such as nitrogen 0.8 percent, phosphorous 0.4 percent, potassium 0.4 percent, and C/N ratio = 20 to 30, are all within acceptable ranges, and the results show that the compost is ideal for plant growth.

Abstract:
The influence of processing the serpentinite quarry from the Caucasian mountains at the foot of the Mount Elbrus crushed waste on soil agrochemical properties, phytotoxicity of spring barley, influence on barley plant biomass and its chemical composition were investigated. Ground and granular serpentinite had a different effect on soil and plants. Application of serpentinite fertilizers significantly increased the content of calcium, iron, 227.95-376.75 and 5.05-9.62 mg kg-1, total and plant-derived magnesium 0.34-0.52 and 1.19-2.16 mg kg-1, lead and nickel, while the amount of copper dropped substantially; the soil was becoming more alkaline. Application of ground serpentinite lead to alkalizing of the soil much more compared to the granular, with a significant increase in plant-derived magnesium. The influence of serpentinite increased the yield of spring barley plants in green and dry mass by 0.049-0.256 and 0.011-0.046 g or 0.65-3.41 and 1.19-2.59% out of the growing vessel, and dry matter increased by 0.12-0.26 % units, the yield of spring barley green and dry mass under the influence of ground serpentinite was higher than of granular serpentinite fertilizer, and the dry matter was found to be significantly higher than that of unfertilized spring barley plants. Ground and granular serpentinite was not phytotoxic to spring barley. An application of ground serpentinite increased an amount of calcium, potassium and magnesium in the barley dry matter compared to the granular serpentinite. Ground and granular serpentinite reduced the amount of trace elements copper and manganese in the dry mass of the plant, and the amount of zinc decreased only after fertilization with granular serpentinite. An application of serpentinite significantly decreased content of lead, chrome and cadmium while nickel content significantly increased in the dry matter of barley plants.

Grease trap waste and water hyacinth is a major problem of sewer clods and impedes water flow, a factor in flooding. Both of which can be proceeded for use as soil amendments. This research had two objectives: 1) to study the appropriate characteristics of the ratio between grease trap waste and water hyacinth for compost production and 2) to study the efficiency of compost from the growth rate of kale. The results of the analysis revealed that moisture, organic carbon, pH, conductivity, C/N ratio, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are conformed to organic fertilizer standards of the Announcement by the Department of Agriculture: Criteria for organic fertilizers 2014, Thailand. Comparison of compost quality from macronutrients revealed that the ratio between grease trap waste and water hyacinth (2:1) was of the highest quality. Comparing the average growth rate of kale by plant height, a number of leaves, leaf width, leaf length, and fresh weight, found that the efficiency of compost containing grease trap waste and water hyacinth (2:1) affected the maximum growth rate of kale. In conclusion, the study found that the utilization of residues can reduce costs for waste management and increase resource renewal, which contributes to sustainability in future.

Abstract:
Research was carried out at the Lithuanian Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry’s (LAMMC) Joniškėlis Experimental Station on a clay loam Endocalcari Endohypogleyic Cambisol. The study was aimed to explore the aboveground mass of perennial forage legumes: red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) and lucerne (Medicago sativa L.), and their mixtures with festulolium (x Festuliolium), used as green manure, qualitative parameters and compatibility with cereals on the basis of nutrients nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K). The deficiency of other nutrients (P, K) and intensity of green manure mineralization can lead to N absorption. It has been determined that winter wheat takes one kg of N together with 0.2 kg P and 0.6 kg K. Spring wheat requires a similar amount of P but a higher amount of K. Average winter wheat grain yield can be 4.0 t ha-1 on a clay loam Cambisol in organic cropping system. NPK content – 134 kg ha-1 is needed for such productivity (grain + straw). This content is lower for spring winter growing. P:N and K:N ratios are more favourable in perennial forage legume mixture with festulolium, as compared to legume alone. To obtain grain yields of 4 t ha-1 of winter wheat and 3 t ha-1 of spring wheat in balanced organic crop rotation it is sufficient to apply 3.0 and 2.0 t ha-1 DM of pure legume mass as green manure. “Cut-and-carry” fertilisers do not satisfy the wheat demand for P.

Abstract:
Research objectives : Identify genetic potential and community structure of soil and rhizosphere microbial community structure as affected by treated wastewater (TWW) irrigation. This objective was achieved through the examination soil and rhizosphere microbial communities of plants irrigated with fresh water (FW) and TWW. Genomic DNA extracted from soil and rhizosphere samples (Minz laboratory) was processed for DNA-based shotgun metagenome sequencing (Green laboratory). High-throughput bioinformatics was performed to compare both taxonomic and functional gene (and pathway) differences between sample types (treatment and location). Identify metabolic pathways induced or repressed by TWW irrigation. To accomplish this objective, shotgun metatranscriptome (RNA-based) sequencing was performed. Expressed genes and pathways were compared to identify significantly differentially expressed features between rhizosphere communities of plants irrigated with FW and TWW. Identify microbial gene functions and pathways affected by TWW irrigation*. To accomplish this objective, we will perform a metaproteome comparison between rhizosphere communities of plants irrigated with FW and TWW and selected soil microbial activities. Integration and evaluation of microbial community function in relation to its structure and genetic potential, and to infer the in situ physiology and function of microbial communities in soil and rhizospere under FW and TWW irrigation regimes. This objective is ongoing due to the need for extensive bioinformatics analysis. As a result of the capabilities of the new PI, we have also been characterizing the transcriptome of the plant roots as affected by the TWW irrigation and comparing the function of the plants to that of the microbiome. *This original objective was not achieved in the course of this study due to technical issues, especially the need to replace the American PIs during the project. However, the fact we were able to analyze more than one plant system as a result of the abilities of the new American PI strengthened the power of the conclusions derived from studies for the 1ˢᵗ and 2ⁿᵈ objectives. Background: As the world population grows, more urban waste is discharged to the environment, and fresh water sources are being polluted. Developing and industrial countries are increasing the use of wastewater and treated wastewater (TWW) for agriculture practice, thus turning the waste product into a valuable resource. Wastewater supplies a year- round reliable source of nutrient-rich water. Despite continuing enhancements in TWW quality, TWW irrigation can still result in unexplained and undesirable effects on crops. In part, these undesirable effects may be attributed to, among other factors, to the effects of TWW on the plant microbiome. Previous studies, including our own, have presented the TWW effect on soil microbial activity and community composition. To the best of our knowledge, however, no comprehensive study yet has been conducted on the microbial population associated BARD Report - Project 4662 Page 2 of 16 BARD Report - Project 4662 Page 3 of 16 with plant roots irrigated with TWW – a critical information gap. In this work, we characterize the effect of TWW irrigation on root-associated microbial community structure and function by using the most innovative tools available in analyzing bacterial community- a combination of microbial marker gene amplicon sequencing, microbial shotunmetagenomics (DNA-based total community and gene content characterization), microbial metatranscriptomics (RNA-based total community and gene content characterization), and plant host transcriptome response. At the core of this research, a mesocosm experiment was conducted to study and characterize the effect of TWW irrigation on tomato and lettuce plants. A focus of this study was on the plant roots, their associated microbial communities, and on the functional activities of plant root-associated microbial communities. We have found that TWW irrigation changes both the soil and root microbial community composition, and that the shift in the plant root microbiome associated with different irrigation was as significant as the changes caused by the plant host or soil type. The change in microbial community structure was accompanied by changes in the microbial community-wide functional potential (i.e., gene content of the entire microbial community, as determined through shotgun metagenome sequencing). The relative abundance of many genes was significantly different in TWW irrigated root microbiome relative to FW-irrigated root microbial communities. For example, the relative abundance of genes encoding for transporters increased in TWW-irrigated roots increased relative to FW-irrigated roots. Similarly, the relative abundance of genes linked to potassium efflux, respiratory systems and nitrogen metabolism were elevated in TWW irrigated roots when compared to FW-irrigated roots. The increased relative abundance of denitrifying genes in TWW systems relative FW systems, suggests that TWW-irrigated roots are more anaerobic compare to FW irrigated root. These gene functional data are consistent with geochemical measurements made from these systems. Specifically, the TWW irrigated soils had higher pH, total organic compound (TOC), sodium, potassium and electric conductivity values in comparison to FW soils. Thus, the root microbiome genetic functional potential can be correlated with pH, TOC and EC values and these factors must take part in the shaping the root microbiome. The expressed functions, as found by the metatranscriptome analysis, revealed many genes that increase in TWW-irrigated plant root microbial population relative to those in the FW-irrigated plants. The most substantial (and significant) were sodium-proton antiporters and Na(+)-translocatingNADH-quinoneoxidoreductase (NQR). The latter protein uses the cell respiratory machinery to harness redox force and convert the energy for efflux of sodium. As the roots and their microbiomes are exposed to the same environmental conditions, it was previously hypothesized that understanding the soil and rhizospheremicrobiome response will shed light on natural processes in these niches. This study demonstrate how newly available tools can better define complex processes and their downstream consequences, such as irrigation with water from different qualities, and to identify primary cues sensed by the plant host irrigated with TWW. From an agricultural perspective, many common practices are complicated processes with many ‘moving parts’, and are hard to characterize and predict. Multiple edaphic and microbial factors are involved, and these can react to many environmental cues. These complex systems are in turn affected by plant growth and exudation, and associated features such as irrigation, fertilization and use of pesticides. However, the combination of shotgun metagenomics, microbial shotgun metatranscriptomics, plant transcriptomics, and physical measurement of soil characteristics provides a mechanism for integrating data from highly complex agricultural systems to eventually provide for plant physiological response prediction and monitoring.
