New test developed o assesoi' structure A new method for assess- ing soil structural stability, and hence the ability of a soil to retain good structure for plant growth, has been developed at the Depart- ment of Land Resource Science, University of Guelph. Nick Allen, a graduate student in the Canadian university discuss- ed the new development at the joint annual meeting of the American Society of Agronomy, the Crop Science Society of America and.the Soil Science Society of America in Washington recently.

The new system will assist in studies of yarious tillage practices, permitting objec- tive assessment, of condi- tions to be expected in the seed bed and rooting zone. Optimum conditions, Allen pointed out, would provide a soil structure that retains good seed -soil contact for germination, 'low mechanical resittence to root growth and good aera- tion during plant develop- ment. The traditional approach to assessment of soil struc- ture uses a "wet seiving" technique whereby air dried soil is mechanically dispersed in water. This essentially measures sur- face conditions. "The new technique is more ap- propriate for assessing con- ditions in the rooting zone rather than at the surface." IS YOUR INSURANCE BROKER A SMART. SHOPPER? DOES HE KNOW HOW TO SAVE YOU MONEY?
