Data from global soil databases are increasingly used for crop modelling, but the impact of
such data on simulated crop yield has not been not extensively studied. Accurate yield …

Abstract Dust containing Heavy Metals (HM) can accumulate in the soil, surface water
bodies, and groundwater, disrupting ecosystems and posing significant human health risks …

Rice is the primary energy source of more than half of the global population. Challenges
persist in managing phosphorus (P) in paddy soils of tropical rice-growing countries. In Sri …

Rice is a major source for micro-elements for the Sri Lankan population, across all agro-
climatic zones. This current study was conducted to investigate the variation of the metal …

Soil pH and electrical conductivity (EC) are two major chemical properties affecting nutrient
availability and rice grain yield. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the …

Heavy metal ions such as Cr (VI) leaching from agricultural soil is one of the significant
environmental pollution threats. Hydrochar from hydrothermal co‑carbonization (HtcoC) of …

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the staple food in Sri Lanka and phosphorus (P) and potassium (K)
