EVALUATION OF CRUSTING APTITUDE ON SIEVED SOILS. ANEWAPPARATUS

Soil surface crusting has severe agricultural and environmental effects. The action of beating rains can destroy soil surface structure and in some cases lead to surface sealing and crusting which, in turn, reduce soil conductivity, seed emergence and increase the runoff hazard. The susceptibility o...
