Study on the Effect of Drying Temperature and Time on Potential Soil Water Repellency
In order to get the effect of the drying temperature and time on potential soil water repellency,Water Drop Penetration Time(WDPT) was measured after drying the samples in four temperatures,namely 25 ℃,45 ℃,65 ℃ and 105 ℃,and different time in the oven for two clay and two sandy soils collect from Israel.The result shows that the optimal temperature is 45~65 ℃ and the time is 24 hours for measuring potential water repellency after analyzing the different WDPT among the treatment for each soils.
