New test developed

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-

the joint annual meeting of
the American Society of

tal effect on soil structure,
and soil scientists have been
seeking a technique for in-
dexing soil structure through
a routine procedure that
could be coupled with soil
fertility analysis.
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."
