Subject field(s)
  • Soil Science
  • Drainage and Irrigation (Agric.)
CONT

... the soil condition, at the time set for the keyline cultivation of some areas, was very wet, and in the new areas, soil asphyxiation was evident. ... Rain persisted and kept all the soil overwet right through to and past the middle of winter. Under these conditions, air which is so obviously essential, is excluded by excess water. The desirable balance of moisture, warmth and air in the soil had been destroyed.

CONT

Vegetative deaths caused by leachate generally are due to waterlogging and consequent soil anaerobism - not leachate toxicity.

CONT

Description of Planting Conditions. Soil characteristics, potentially related to plant failure are assessed including soil texture, compaction, anaerobism (oxygen depletion), waterlogging, presence of deleterious materials and stone content ...
