Abstract

Study the effect of air flow on changing some soil properties and plant nutrition is highly important to increase crop quality and productivity. The pot experiment was carried out focusing on Agric faba bean C.V. Giza 2 in Egyptian alluvial soil (clay) during 2017-18 seasons. Two soil samples with three replicates were taken. The results revealed that hygroscopic water (HW), saturation percentage (SP) and real density (RD) have not affected by air flow, while organic matter (OM), hydraulic conductivity (HC) and bulk density (BD) have remarkable increase with air flow. The available macro and micronutrients concentrations in soil and plant are also discussed where different results have been obtained depending upon type of nutrient.  The total count of bacteria (TCM) is found to be affected with air flow than without aeration techniques. The findings of this study reveal that aeration or air flow promotes healthy levels of soil gases and plays a critical role in plant growth.
