Consistency limits and their agricul tural implications in a Savanna Ultisol Soil of Monagas, Venezuela ; Límites de consistencia y sus implicaciones agrícolas en un suelo ultisol de sabana del estado Monagas, Venezuela

Knowledge of the physical properties of agricultural and biotic soils provides information for management of agricultural equipment, compaction processes, and conventional and conservation tillage. As the soil moisture increases it produces diverse stages of the soil; the interaction among adjacent particles decreases, and its behavior approximates that of a liquid. The beginning of compaction sensibility appears to be the plastic limit of the soil under a well-defined compaction energy. The general objective of this study consists of characterizing, systematically, with possible engineering i... Mehr ...
