| Abstract | A field experiment was conducted to study the effectiveness of mole drains in improving acid sulphate soil. The mole channels were constructed
at 2m spacing with a mole plow, having a 7.62 cm diameter torpedo, at a depth of 50 cm and 1% slope. Four experimental plots were used in the study i.e.
plots having lime and mole drains, mole drains without lime, lime without mole drains, and unlime without mole drains. Various soil properties such as hydraulic conductivity by auger hole method, intake rate, pH, Ec,
SAR, K+ concentration were determined. In addition, pH, EC, SAR, K+ concentration of drainage water were also determined. The results
indicate that the combination of lime and mole drains is more helpful in improving the soil as compared to others. |
