Release Kinetics Of Iodine In Soils For Various Seasons Under Cropped Conditions

Abstract

Iodine is prone to volatilization and leaching, soils eventually lose iodine. Many research works have examined how iodine is absorbed from the soil, but little is known about the different iodine fractions that are found in soils. In this study, we looked at various iodine fractions (Residual iodine, Organic bound, Oxide bound, Water Extractable and Exchangeable iodine) in soils that were made from various sources of potassium iodate and Chitosan (C₅₆H₁₀₃N₉O₃₉), both separately and together.According to our research, iodine stability is improved by potassium iodate and Chitosan (C₅₆H₁₀₃N₉O₃₉) complex when used together during different seasons of cropping. The static collaboration of C₅₆H₁₀₃N₉O₃₉ and iodate, which inhibits volatilization and steadily stabilizes the amount of iodine in the soil, explains this activity. Further understanding of the movement and behavior of iodine in soil is provided by this study, especially when C₅₆H₁₀₃N₉O₃₉ is added at varying rates or is utilized alone.
