“…The decreasing trend of infiltration during the irrigation events (first to third) was also noticeable, resulting from soil stabilization and water accumulation in the lower soil layer after each irrigation event (Agrawal et al, 1987; Al‐esawi et al, 2021). Proper estimations of infiltration under different surface irrigation schemes are especially important in the accurate estimation of irrigation application efficiency.…”

“…The possible reason for this observation is that the laboratory VG parameters are only reflected by constant soil physical properties, such as saturated hydraulic conductivity. However, under actual field conditions, the combined impact of soil compaction and the presence of cracks and macropores can substantially affect the infiltration process (Al-esawi et al, 2021;Nov ak et al, 2000). Preferential flows make a mathematical analysis of water flow in soil virtually impossible (Topp & Davis, 1981).…”

Surface irrigation models should take two‐dimensional infiltration of water in furrows into account for better representation and more accuracy. The Warrick–Lazarovitch infiltration model (W–L model) has been proposed to estimate the two‐dimensional infiltration of water in furrow irrigation. This model consists of several parameters, including γ as an empirical parameter, which is often obtained through calibration of the model. This study aimed to evaluate the W–L model performance in determining the cumulative and lateral infiltrations under conventional furrow irrigation (CFI) and alternate furrow irrigation (AFI) schemes and two different initial and boundary conditions. The results indicate that the W–L model adequately estimated the cumulative and lateral infiltration, and the two‐dimensional infiltration was estimated with less error than the lateral infiltration. In both irrigation schemes, for an increased surface boundary head from 5 to 10 cm and for a reduced initial water content from 0.21 to 0.16 cm3/cm3, the value of γ would increase. Generally, γ values in AFI were greater than those in CFI. The W–L model estimated the two‐dimensional infiltration with more accuracy than the relative lateral infiltration for both CFI and AFI. Proper representation of infiltration is important in both irrigation management and in tracing footprints of chemicals used in agriculture.

“…La compactación del suelo se incrementó con el mayor número de pases de maquinaria (los niveles fueron de tres a cinco pases), lo que provocó una mayor Da (1,8 g cm 3 ) en comparación con áreas sin aplicación de la técnica. Si bien, el aumento de la compactación disminuye la tasa de infiltración vertical, es necesario evaluar a largo plazo las propiedades químicas del suelo y la repercusión en la alteración de la biodiversidad del suelo (Al-Esawi et al, 2021).…”

Introducción. La palma de aceite (Elaeis guineensis) es uno de los monocultivos perennes que se ha extendido a casi un poco más de diecinueve millones de hectáreas en el mundo, su expansión ha generado debate social, económico y político en diversos países tropicales. Una de las problemáticas que se ha discutido, es el impacto sobre las propiedades fisicoquímicas, biológicas y ecológicas del suelo. Objetivo. (i) Ofrecer un panorama actual de la expansión del cultivo de palma de aceite para una zona de la región Soconusco, Chiapas, México, (ii) documentar los efectos que provoca la palma de aceite sobre las propiedades fisicoquímicas y biológicas del suelo y (iii) presentar algunas propuestas de prácticas de manejo para incrementar la fertilidad y la abundancia de macroinvertebrados del suelo. Desarrollo. Se realizó la búsqueda de palabras clave en el apartado de “tópicos” dentro de la base de datos “Web of Science” del año 2009 hasta marzo del 2018. Se consultaron investigaciones que relacionan el cultivo de la palma de aceite con los parámetros físicos, químicos y biológicos del suelo. La literatura demuestra los efectos negativos que genera el monocultivo de palma de aceite sobre algunas propiedades fisicoquímicas del suelo y sobre la ecología y biología de la macrofauna edáfica. Conclusión. Se muestra evidencia de que el mal manejo del monocultivo de la palma de aceite tiene implicaciones ambientales. La integración de buenas prácticas de manejo sostenibles, podrían mitigar los daños al suelo.

“…Studies suggest that the association of crops with oil palm is complicated since the canopy cover transmits little light to the soil surface, which makes it impossible for other commercial plants to grow and develop [ 11 ]. In addition, roots become entwined, causing soil compaction, nutrient competition, and strangulation of the crop roots [ [12] , [13] , [14] ]. However, it has been reported that oil palm included in an agroforestry system improves the physicochemical and biological properties of the soil, reduces carbon loss, and increases family income, among others [ 15 ].…”
