Relationship between the looseness of soil and the electric conductivity

P. Rácz, Z. Szüle

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.

Keywords: looseness L of soil; electric conductivity; subsoil chisel; Veris 3100
