METHOD FOR EVALUATION OF PHYSICAL QUALITY OF SOIL

摘要

A method for evaluation of physical quality of soil includes determination of compactness of structure, content of water-stable aggregates. One additionally determines power of humus, or the first from the surface genetic horizon, humidity of stable plant fading, the least (field) moisture capacity of soil, content of macro-aggregations with agronomically useful dimensions, total specific surface of elementary (granulometric) particles of soil, with determination of integrated index of physical quality of soil by the sum of all the seven individual characteristics with comparison to the maximal parameter in the sample one determines quality of soil and its suitability for growing specific agricultural cultures.
