The intensification of farming practices over the past few decades has raised many questions about changes in soil fertility. Cereal monoculture and intensive tillage have led to a decrease in soil organic matter, followed by a reduction in mineralization capacity. The use of bioresources (crop residues, farm manure, etc.) as soil amendments is becoming a necessary bioremediation technique for degraded soils. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of the quality of crop residues and manure on carbon and nitrogen mineralization and on changes in the chemical characteristics of two soil types in the arid regions of Tunisia. Rapeseed exhibited the highest CO₂ emissions, followed by durum wheat, while field beans and sulla exhibited the lowest values. Regarding cattle manure, it released CO2 very slowly in both sandy and clay soils. Furthermore, overall, cattle manure and legumes (Sulla Bikra 21 and field beans) exhibited the highest levels of nitrogen, cation exchange capacity (CEC), soluble organic matter (SOM), and total soluble organic matter (TSOM) (P

Breeding Oilseed Crops for Sustainable Production: Opportunities and Constraints
<i> <p>Breeding Oilseed Crops for Sustainable Production: Opportunities and Constraints</i> presents key insights into accelerating the breeding of sustainable and superior varieties. </p> <p>The book explores the genetic engineering/biotechnology that has played a vital role in transforming economically important traits from distant/wild species to cultivated varieties, enhancing the quality and quantity of oil and seed yield production. Integrated nutrient management, efficient water management, and forecasting models for pests diseases outbreaks and integrated pest and pest management have also added new dimensions in breeding for sustainable production. With the rise in demand, the scientific community has responded positively by directing a greater amount of research towards sustainable production both for edible and industrial uses. </p> <p>Covering the latest information on various major world oil crops including rapeseed mustard, sunflower, groundnut, sesame, oilpalm, cotton, linseed/flax, castor and olive, this book brings the latest advances together in a single volume for researchers and advanced level students. </p>
