In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Factors Affecting Soil Temperature 2. Role of Soil Temperature 3. Management 4. Measurement. Factors Affecting Soil Temperature: The Soil temperature depends upon at least three factors, directly or indirectly as follows: (i) The net amount of heat absorbed by soil. (ii) The heat energy required to bring a change in the soil [...]
In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Characteristics of Soil Separates 2. Determination of Soil Texture 3. Role. Characteristics of Soil Separates: Soil separates have some characteristics as follows: (i) Physical Nature of Soil Separates: Sands are large sized particles and have large size of porespace. Hence the aeration and drainage capacity are good in sandy soil. But the [...]
In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Introduction to Cation Exchange 2. Cation Exchange Capacity (C.E.C.) of Soils 3. Factors Affecting Cation Exchange Capacity 4. Importance. Introduction to Cation Exchange: Cation exchange is a reversible process in which the cations are exchanged or interchanged between the solid and liquid phases or between the solid and solid phases when they [...]
