Effects of supplementary irrigation on chemical and physical soil properties in the rolling pampa region of Argentina

The effects of supplementary irrigation on soil chemical and physical properties were studied in 21 locations in the north of the rolling pampa region of Argentina. The chemical and physical variables were measured in top soil (0-100 mm) to compare irrigated and non-irrigated soils. Chemical variabl...
