Preliminary study on improvement of soil water retention characteristics by Spirulina
SUZUKI Shinji, WATANABE Satoru, WATANABE Fumio, SHIMDA Sawahiko
Journal of Arid Land Studies 32 ( 3 ) 68 - 68 2022.12
Language：English Publisher：The Japanese Association for Arid Land Studies
<p>Spirulina is a planctonic blue-green algae classified as cyanobacteria, which inhabits strongly alkaline water body in the tropics and subtropics. Further, the microalgae including the spirulina secretes Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPS). Since the improvement of the soil water retention characteristics is necessary for desert greening and prevention of desertification in arid and semi-arid area, the current study aims to study on the effect of application of the spirulina and the spirulina derived EPS on the improvement of water retention characteristics of soils.</p><p>Three different types of soil were used. One is Toyoura sand, and the others are collected from Kourimalei and Ali-fareen, Djibouti. The texture of those soils were Sand, Silty Loam, and Sandy Loam, respectively. For those soils, 0.5 and 1.0% by mass of the spirulina powder and 1.0% by mass of the EPS powder were treated respectively. A significant increase in the readily available water content for crop growth was observed under both the spirulina and the EPS treatments for the Toyoura sand. Although further research is required, it is suggested that the effect of the application of the spirulina and EPS on the soil water retention depends on the texture.</p>

<p>The purpose of this study is to clarify the meteorological characteristics of a farm at Dikhil in Djibouti and to evaluate the windbreak effect of the hedgerows in order to utilize the results to plan and design of a pilot farm in Ali Faren on the basis of simulated wind dynamics from meteorological observation parameters. From the results of Dikhil farm land meteorological observation, the highest temperatures and the lowest relative humidity were observed from May to July, and the southerly prevailing wind from May to September, with the east-northeast prevailing wind from October to April were observed. The east-northeast winds during October to April was discovered to be twice stronger than the southerly winds during May to September season. As a result of the wind dynamics simulation on the inflow from east-northeast at a height of 3 m above the ground level, the windbreak effect of the hedgerows (the 2 rows of <i>Leucaena leucocephala</i> with a height of 2 m, the <i>Phoenix dactylifera</i> with a height of 6-7 m) on the leeward side was confirmed to be effective. The vegetable fields in the farm will be protected from the wind on the leeward side of the hedgerows. From the Ali Faren pilot farm observation, the south-southeast prevailing winds throughout the year. As a result of the wind dynamics simulation on the inflow from south-southeast at a height of 3 m above the ground, the windbreak effect of several scenarios of the hedgerows plan of the Ali Faren pilot farm was confirmed to be effective. The several scenarios of the hedgerows plan on the basis of wind dynamics simulation is useful for consensus building and decision making with local farmers, agriculture ministry, universities, etc. on the farmland structure and layout designings.</p>

<p>Irrigation is essential for crop cultivation in arid and semi-arid areas with limited rainfall and water resources. Efficient and effective use of water resources is required and saving irrigation water is important. Djibouti is a very dry region with annual rainfall of about 150 mm and an average annual temperature of 28.6°C. Due to such meteorological conditions, water resources depend mostly on groundwater, and this makes water extremely scarce. Therefore, water saving in agricultural sector is indispensable. This study aims at promoting effective and efficient use of irrigation water in Djibouti. The appropriate irrigation water amounts for tomato cultivation were estimated using CROPWAT provided by FAO and observed meteorological data at Ali Farren farm in Djibouti. The conditions required for calculating the amounts of irrigation water were medium loam soil based on the laboratory results of soil particle size test, and the tomato cultivation period from October to March according to the local farmers. The result showed that the average monthly reference evapotranspiration was 5.7 mm/day annually. Reference Evapotranspiration was maximum in July and August with 8.4 mm/day and minimum in December with 4.6 mm/day. The amount of irrigation water from October to March was about 476 mm which corresponds to the local tomato cultivation period.</p>
