Effect of Slope Gradient and Soil Physical Properties on Soil Loss in Furrows of Rainfed Farms

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of slope gradient and soil physical properties (grain size distribution, bulk density, aggregate stability and permeability) on water erosion in the furrows of rainfed farms under fallow conditions. The furrows with 6 m length were installed in five rainfed farms with 6.1, 10.6, 14.8, 20.7 and 27.1% slope steepness at three replications. Resul...

determination of some physical and mechanical properties red bean

چکیده: در این تحقیق، برخی خواص فیزیکی و مکانیکی لوبیا قرمز به-صورت تابعی از محتوی رطوبت بررسی شد. نتایج نشان داد که رطوبت بر خواص فیزیکی لوبیا قرمز شامل طول، عرض، ضخامت، قطر متوسط هندسی، قطر متوسط حسابی، سطح تصویر شده، حجم، چگالی توده، تخلخل، وزن هزار دانه و زاویه ی استقرار استاتیکی در سطح احتمال 1 درصد اثر معنی داری دارد. به طوری که با افزایش رطوبت از 54/7 به 12 درصد بر پایه خشک طول، عرض، ضخام...

Electrical and Physical Properties of Coimbatore Soils at Microwave Frequency

The aim of this paper was to study the variations of the electrical properties like electrical conductivity and dielectric constant of soils with their physical properties. Eight soil samples were collected from different locations of Coimbatore (Tamilnadu) at the depth of 0 – 15 cm. Soil samples were analysed for physical properties like texture, bulk density and porosity. The electrical condu...

Soil physical properties, soil carbon dioxide fluxes, and soil drainage dynamics of select bioenergy cropping systems

Bioenergy cropping systems have been proposed as a way to enhance United States energy security. However, research on soil physical properties, soil-surface CO2 effluxes, and soil drainage dynamics in such systems is needed to ensure environmental sustainability in the field. The objective of our research was to evaluate soil physical properties and conditions as well as soil-surface CO2 efflux...
