Abstract
An apparatus used for clod structure analysis consists of a number of perforated metal cylinders which are rotated by an electric motor at a speed of 14 r.p.m. This new method has definite advantages over the usual flat sieve methods, in that it eliminates clogging, even of the finest sieves, and ensures thorough separation and the least possible breakdown of soil clods.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
