13 SWMCN Soil ENERGY CLIMAT E Crop Nutrition Water
14 Soil-Water-Crop Nutrition Management Technical basis Both stable and radioactive isotopes can be used as tracers in soil and water management & crop nutrition. Isotopes are atoms with: the same chemical properties the same number of protons and electrons. different number of neutrons and mass number (atomic weight). Isotopes can be either stable or radioactive stable isotopes: different masses ( 18 O and 16 O). radioactive isotopes: radioactive decay ( 32 P).
15 ISOTOPES Emitting ionizing radiation. Atoms A Z X A = Mass number (Atomic weight) = protons + neutrons Z = Atomic number = protons = electrons Isotopes Same chemical properties. Different mass number and different neutrons. Same protons and same electrons
16 Carbon (C) A (Atomic weight) Z (Atomic number) N Pro + neutron Proton = electron Neutron 12C C
17 Carbon (C) A Z N 10C C C C C
18 Hydrogen (H) A Z N 1H H H 3 1 2
19 Oxygen (O) A Z N 16O O O
20 Nitrogen (N) A Z N 13N N N
21 Phosphorus (P) A Z N 31P P P
22 Sulphur (S) A Z N 32S S S S S
23 Radioactive isotopes- Half life Important consideration in study planning: 32P: 33P: 35S: 87.4 days Activity (dpm): measured by liquid scintillation counter. Solvent: toluenne Scintillator: PPO (diphenyl oxazol) o POPOP (phenyloxazol-2-yl benzene). Quenching curve
24 Radioactive isotopes Examples: 32 P and 35 S. Specific activity: Bq/g of P or Bq/g of S in materials (soils/ plants/fertilisers). 1Bq=1dps and 1 Ci =3.7 x dps Activity (dpm): measured by liquid scintillation counter. Solvent: toluenne Scintillator: PPO (diphenyl oxazol) o POPOP (phenyloxazol-2-yl benzene). Quenching curve
25 Converting dpm to specific activity Activity (dpm): measured by liquid scintillation counter. Actual activity (corrected for radioactive decay) Rate of decay of any radioisotope obeys exponential law: A o = A /e (-λt) where A is uncorrected dpm at time t, A o is dpm at time t =0 corrected for radioactive decay from D0 of the application of radioactive materials, and λ is decay constant, which is equivalent to 0.693/half life. e is the natural logarithm The corrected dpm is then converted to specific activity: Spac (μci/g of S or P)= corrected dpm / [amount of sample analysed (g) x concentration (μgs/g material) x 2.22]. 1 μ Ci =2.22 * 10 6 dpm
26 Stable isotopes Some commonly used stable isotopes and their relative proportions: Stable isotopes Element Heavy Light H 2 H (0.0156%) 1 H ( %) N 15 N (0.366%) 14 N (99.634%) C 13 C (1.108%) 12 C (98.892%) O 18 O (0.204%) 16 O (99.759%)
27 Atom% abundance Natural abundances of some stable isotopes in atom % % 1 H % 2 H % 12 C % 13 C % 14 N % 15 N % 16 O % 17 O % 18 O % 32 S % 33 S % 34 S
28 Stable isotopes Atom% N15: Mass spectrometry or emission Atom% N15= number of N15 atoms/ number of N atoms. Atom%N15 excess= Atom% N (100 atoms of N in atmosphere, there are only atoms of N15 and atom of N14). Ndff%=atom%N15 excess in plant materials/ atom %N15 excess in N15-labelled fertilizer
29 Atom% abundance Isotopic abundance is the number of atoms of a particular isotope of an element as a fraction of the total number of atoms of that element. It is usually expressed as a percentage and noted as atom%. 90 atoms 14 N + 10 atoms 15 N. 100 atoms N.. 10 atom% 15 N

32 Measurement of stable isotopes Isotopes have slightly different physical properties. Detection methods uses one of this properties (mass, emission spectrum, IR absorption ). The most common method to measure stable isotopes is mass spectrometry. Mass spectrometers capable of measuring the stable isotope ratios of light elements (H, C, N, O and S) are called Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometers (IRMS). New methods based on IR absorption have been introduced recently.
33 Mass spectrometry Mass spectrometry is an analytical technique in which atoms or molecules from a sample are ionized, separated according to their mass-to-charge ratio (m/z), and then recorded.

42 Isotopic and nuclear techniques in soilwater-crop nutrition Enhance sustainable use of soil-water-nutrient resources. Quantify biological nitrogen fixation. Minimize effects of soil erosion and degradation. Enhance water use efficiency by crops. Optimize production of drought and salt-tolerant crops. Evaluate effects of crop residue incorporation on land productivity and food security. Improve water (nutrient) use efficiency thus minimize losses beyond the plant rooting zone.
43 Examples of major outcomes 41 countries use nuclear techniques to assess soil erosion and develop cost-effective soil conservation measures. China, Morocco, Romania and Vietnam have effectively reduced soil erosion rates by 55-90%. 95 Member States use isotopic and nuclear techniques to identify land and water management practices to improve nutrient and water use efficiency (WUE). Some outcomes: At least 25-50% 50% increase in yield, WUE and revenue through efficient soil moisture monitoring and irrigation in Chile, Jordan, Syria, Turkey and Uzbekistan. 30% increase in BNF through improved soil-water water- nutrient-crop management practices in Asia and Africa.
