Infiltration tests were carried out using double metal cylindrical infiltrometers on plots under shrubs, meadows, and cultivated land. It was found that the infiltration rate was highest on the pasture plot compared to the cultivated land and shrubs, which can be attributed to the characteristics of Vertisol and the developed root system that permeates the soil. The obtained results should be taken with caution, considering that the soil is a polydisperse system, and it can contribute to predicting surface runoff, assessing Vertisol waterlogging, and choosing irrigation methods. land use, infiltration capacity, total infiltration 2nd International Symposium On Biotechnology Influence of different soil use on vertisol water infiltration All rights reserved Faculty of Agronomy in Čačak, University of Kragujevac, Serbia https://unilib.phaidrabg.rs/o:4184 info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceProceedings 2024 eng application/pdf 784600 bytes
