Sorptive properties of cultivated Luvisols
Journal Title: Journal of Research and Applications in Agricultural Engineering (ISSN 1642-686X) - Year 2018, Vol 63, Issue 2
Abstract
This paper presents results of physicochemical analyses of Luvisols from three cultivated fields located in the area of Agroecological Landscape Park. The study were conducted at four depths. The aim of the research was to compare sorptive properties of Luvisols with reference to selected physicochemical parameters. The sampled soils had the texture of clay sands. The cultivated field (IP) had a neutral pH with low hydrolytic acidity (Ha), whereas cultivated fields IIP and III were acidic with decidedly higher Ha. Sorptive properties of the studied Luvisols varied between cultivated fields and within a given profile. The index of soil saturation with base cations ranged from 33 to 79%. The soil of the cultivated field (IP), which was rich in TOC and had neutral pH, was sorption-saturated. The highest amounts of Ca2+, Mg2+ and K+ were found in topsoil. Ca2+ was dominating alkaline cation.
