Abstract

Introduction In previous papers¹,², a method for determining the water-stable aggregate in paddy soils has been reported. This method is based on the slaking disruption of air dried clod of soil in an excess of water. The aggregates thus obtained are truly stable in water and also stable against a gentle agitation in wet sieving operation. It is very interesting to study the cementing materials which stabilize the aggregates.
