The Influence of Bulk Density on Water Infiltration Capacity in Red Soil Under Surge-root Irrigation
In order to explore the effect of soil bulk density on the water infiltration capacity under surge-root irrigation (SRI) in red soil regions
a experiment of water infiltration was carried out under different soil bulk density levels of red soil for SRI in soil bins. The results showed that the bulk density had a significant effect on soil infiltration capacity. With the decrease of soil bulk densities
wetting front migration
the cumulative infiltration and the infiltration rates showed increasing trends. The smaller the bulk density was
the greater decrease occurred. The wetting front migration
the cumulative infiltration and the steady infiltration rates and soil bulk densities were negatively correlated as power functions. For the same depth soil layer
the smaller the soil moisture content was observed in the larger the soil bulk density. The effect of bulk densities on the water content distribution was gradually weakened during the water redistribution process. The Kostiakov infiltration model showed that the initial infiltration rates of the soil decreased with the increase of bulk densities. Under the greater the bulk density
the infiltration capacity decreased more fastly. This research could lay the foundation for the popularization and application of SRI technology in red soil areas.
