Scientific Papers, USAMV Bucharest, Series A, Vol. LII, 2009, ISSN 1222-5339RESEARCH ON THE INFLUENCE OF IRRIGATION ON THE MAINFEATURES OF THE TYPICAL CHERNOZEM FROM BAILESTI PLAINC. POPESCU, V. DUMITRU, S. IANCU, FLORINA GRECUUniversity of Craiova, Faculty of AgricultureKeywords: soil profile, irrigation, physico-mechanical and chemical featuresAbstractIn order to study how the long term irrigation influences the typical chernozem fromBailesti Plain as regard the morphological, physico-mechanical and chemical featuresthere was, in the same time, studied a typical chernozem that was cropped rainfed. Therewas established that the main morphological features do not differ from the rainfedtreatment, while the physico-chemical ones have significantly changed. The bulk densityhas increased over the entire soil profile; the total and the aeration porosity havedecreased due to compaction determined by irrigation, the hydro physical indicators haverecorded higher values and the humus content has decreased, especially within the shallowhorizons. The total nitrogen content with the irrigated soil has decreased and the reactionhas modified recording an increasing on the entire soil profile as a result of highaccumulation of limestone from the irrigation water.119
