METHODS OF APPLYING A.

Padcasting, spraying, side dressing, band methods.
EXPERIMENT TO FIND THE PERCENTAGE OF HUMUS CONTENT IN THE SOIL.

Mass of crucible=xg mass of cruable+drysoil=yg mass of drysoil=y-x=A(g),mass of dry soil alterlating=z-x=B (g),mass of humus=A-B % of humus=A-B/AX100.

EXPERIMENT TO FIND THE % OF SOIL WATER

METHOD:
lnitial mass of the soil is recorded and heated in a crucible the mass is recorded after heating and the mass of water is recorded.






Mass of crucible= X (g), mass of cruable + fresh soil=Y-X=A(g),mass of crucible+heated soil=Z (g),mass of dried soil=Z-X=B (g),mass of water=(A-B) (g) (SPECIMEN H-CUTLASS) LIST eight uses, (SEpCIMEN I- HOE)list 5 uses (SPECIMEN J) list 5 uses (SPECMENK) list 5 uses(SPECIMEN L) list 3 uses (SPECIMEN M) list5 uses
