Relationship between the looseness of soil and the electric conductivity
Abstract
The present article reports on an experiment as part of the research in the frame of which I search after the relationship between the looseness L of soil characterising the operating quality of the chisel-type subsoilers of a medium working depth, and the change in the electric conductivity in the soil caused by the loosening cultivation. The investigation was carried out with the help of the mobile electric-conductivity measuring device - accounted as a novelty in field-land tests - type Veris 3100 with disc electrodes, operating in field-land conditions. As the results of the investigation, the relation between the electric conductivity and looseness L of soil are presented in this article.
