Effect of Electrolyte Concentration and Soil Sodicity on Infiltration Rate and Crust Formation
Abstract
The effects of electrolyte concentration and soil sodicity on the infiltration rate and extent of crust formation of a calcareous and a noncalcareous soil were studied using a rain simulator. The infiltration rate was more sensitive to the sodicity of the soil and to the electrolyte concentration of the applied water than was the permeability of the underlying soil. The mechanical impact of the raindrops and the relative freedom for particle movement at the soil surface may account for the greater sensitivity of the infiltration rate. These observations suggest that crust formation is due to two mechanisms: (i) a physical dispersion of soil aggregates caused by the impact action of the raindrops, and (ii) a chemical dispersion which depends on the soil exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP) and the electrolyte concentration of the applied water.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
