| Abstract/Contents: | "The aim of this experiment was to assess the changes of soil physical properties of different rootzone-mixtures after aeration with high pressure water injection (Hydroject 3000) and a deep solid tine cultivation with refracting angle (Terra Spike P 6). Soil bulk density, air permeability, saturated hydraulic conductivity and penetration resistance were measured "one week after treatment. The subsequent compaction by Bing was measured." with a penetrometer for a six week period. Rootzone mixing ratios of topsoil to sand were 13:87, 37:63, 67:33 and 100 % top-soil. The objective of the study was to record the cultivating effects and the resulting compaction caused by rolling. The control plots received compaction treatment only. Significant differences were recorded for a reduction of bulk density, an increase of hydraulic conductivity and air permeability of the 13:87 ratio by water injection to a depth of 12 cm compared to the control. Solid tine cultivation showed a significant decrease of bulk density in the 67:33 ratio and the 100 % soil variation between 3-7 cm, a significant increase of air permeability in the 37:63 variation from 8-12 cm and of hydraulic conductivity in the 13:87 ratio from 3-7 cm. Although penetrometer readings could support some effects after treatment, they were largely affected by soil moisture. Readings showed insignificant lower penetration resistance on treated plots compared to control after six weeks. That indicates an almost compensated aeration effect. |
