Water and physical characteristics of irrigated soils in the Massif of Mugan-Salyan / Woda i charakterystyki fizyczne nawadnianych gleb w Masywie Mugaw-Salyan

Abstract

Abstract Detailed information about the water and physical properties of irrigated soils in the Massif of Mugan- -Salyan is given in the paper. Results of the study showed differences in the soil properties. The field water capacity of soil in the zone was 25.32-30.30% or 1.26-1.56 g·cm-3, particle density was 2.53-2.88 g·cm-3, porosity - 44.16-54.20%; clay content - 22.54-70.10% and the velocity of soaking the soil with water ranged between 9.24 and 55.84 cm·h-1. Such variability of the indices points to a need for reclamation measures in the soils.
