Title Of Article :
Relationships between erodibility and soil loss
Abstract :
This study was conducted to the determine effects of farmyard manure, rice husk and municipal wastecompost on soil erodibility and soil loss occurred by runoff in two different soil groups under greenhouseconditions. Soils used in this study are classified as Lithic Ustorthent and Typic Calciustept located inMinöz Basin of Samsun province. Organic conditioners were applied to the degraded soils of basinaccording to dry weight basis at four different doses (0, 2, 4 and 6 %) in the simulation experiments conducted under greenhouse conditions. This study was planned in a randomized plot design as a factorialexperiment design with two replications. After 12 weeks incubation period, 15 % slope was given toerosion pans and artificial rainfall with the intensities of 55 mm h -1 and 70 mm h^-1 were applied for one hour to measure soil loss values occurred by runoff. At the end of the experiment, it was determined thatorganic conditioners reduced soil erodibility and losses. Municipal waste compost was more effective than rice husk compost and farmyard manure in reducing soil losses occurred from runoff pans.Effectiveness of organic conditioners showed differences depend on application doses and the lowest soilloss was obtained at the maximum dose of applications.
